Geek Gifts for Couples

Today it's Friday and there are only 15 more shopping days till Christmas [COUNT DOWN HERE].

The past few Fridays I recommended biblically authorized geek Gifts for HimFor HerFor the Kids, a special selection of Black Friday gifts and Geek Gifts over $100. Remember, each Friday, from now until Rudolph and Santa clamor on your rooftop, I am going to suggest Geek Gifts. This week, it's couples.

I did get a kick out of the Target gifts for couples. On the list were slow cookers, an 8 pack of Memphis Solar Lights and the Office: Season 6 on DVD. Those sort of gifts make me soooo grateful for Mary Anne.
J/K! My wife and I say no thanks to that sort of boring stuff.

Don't worry, in spite of the fact that some of this Friday's gifts use batteries, there will be nothing like that. You can shop Frederick's of Hollywood on your own.

I also checked out findgift.com and well. They had same sort of boring stuff. I did like the Dog Lessons for People Plaque, and Photo-Opoly which you can customize your game board with personal photos.

Finding geek gifts for couples is tough because most electronic devices are personal; selfish in fact. IE: Personal MP3 Player and personal computer. But yours truly has managed to find a few that should be appealing to both of you while you are in the same room.

Star Wars Light Sabers: Great for your next argument and far safer than handguns.


Luke 22:49 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

Laser Trip Wire: No coming home late without being recorded! Also good for sending off an alarm when the little one is coming down the hall at an inopportune times.

Isaiah 8:15 Many of them will stumble; they will fall and be broken, they will be snared and captured.

LED "Blow" On and Off Candles: Set the mood on fire, not the house!

Hebrews 9:2 A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place.



Microwave Smores Maker: That's right, no campfire needed! Even if Hubby is a total geek, he can fire this up on behalf of both of you and you'll still be in bed in time for Law & Order.

Matthew 26:17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
Catapult: Some times old is still geeky. This model catapult can be used to pass the salt during a romantic dinner. It can also be a load of laughs loading it up with treat for the cat of the dog. Guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment on your next date night.

2 Corinthians 10:4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Recycled Motherboard LED Christmas Tree: Better than a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. Decorated with resisters, transistors and bright red LEDs, this printed circuit board Christmas Tree is sure to light up your studio apartment.

1 John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

Touchdown Jesus! - Vessels of Grace and Channels of Power

My blog title is grammatically correct. Jesus did not get a touchdown, that was the nickname a 62 foot tall, upper torso sculpture, of Jesus was given. The sculpture, off I-75 in southern Ohio, was struck by lightening and burned to the ground. HERE  is the Yahoo News story. I an not going to segue into some prophetic sign of how the End Times are upon is. Much more interesting, and relevant, are the comments on the article by some 3,500+ readers. Here is one by Joshua - "God and Jesus was just made up in a book too. Same with Lucifer and every other angel. Anyone who says Zues is just made up cant prove it. Nor can anyone prove Jesus or God is too. Anyone can write a book and make up some higher being and some poor fools will buy into it." This is one of my favorites from What122: "I wonder if their insurance will cover it, or will the insurance company say it was an act of God?" One commenter characterizes Christianity by using the Bible against itself. Be...

Political Tuesdays - The Taxation Question

I have written on political topics in the past. And with the upcoming electons, I thought I would dedicate Tuesdays to some political ranting and Johndrow-esque, "think for myself" politics. Most will not be based on any specific Christian belief or doctrine unless it applies. As an American I find myself stunned, over and over; like fish in the reach of the tenticles of a man-o-war, at political solutions to human and spiritual problems. I live in Masschusetts, and we are the most liberal state in the US. We were first in gay marriage, we were first in mandatory healthcare, we have rejected mandatory sentencing for repeat and sex offenders, we are ahead of the Global Warming curve, we have high taxes ( on average 10% ), we are split on casino gambleing only because we've missed the boat (if doesn't create jobs, it's a political flop), and well John Kerry and Ted Kennedy were our sentaors for many years (Kerry still is). The last time we went red for president...

Hopefully you have heard of Mad Libs (R) ! They are stories that you blindly fill in the blanks for articles of grammar and then read the completed story.
