Speak of the Devil

Only a day after our discussion on know-it-all churches vs. active exploration, this church bulletin caught my eye. Again, we are not trying to pass judgement on the people leading or attending this particular church but it is false advertising. How can you give "straight", "no fluff" answers to questions from the Bible? How do you apply teachings given to 1st century Jews to 21st century Americans without taking some liberties here and there? At least acknowledge that your "straight answers from God's word" are still your interpretation of God's answers

Man-Purse/Murse or Satchel? You decide!

Jered says his bag is a satchel and claims that since he does not wear it every day, it is not a man-purse/murse and therefore its an essential part of any man's wardrobe when he needs to carry extra items. Eric says that it looks like a cross between a purse and a fanny-pack and no heterosexual man should carry such an item.

I listened to your podcast while working my machines at the gym today ( not the treadmill) and you two were cracking me up. I'm sure all the people there thought I was nuts because I was smiling and laughing the whole time. I still think the biggest strength of your podcast is your banter and your humor. Not that you don't talk about important topics - it's just that I do truly enjoy the laughs!

American Idol - I do think that Randy has a more difficult time than Simon when he has to say something negative about a performance, so he tries to downplay it sometimes. Paula has no idea how to do anything else but dance, applaud ,cry and say she is so proud of people. I personally think it will be Jordin or Blake who wins - I don't think that Shrek will make the final two. Probably it will be Jordin as the "idol."

Thanks for the feedback! You're right on about the American Idol judges... Paula just wants to stand in a circle around her pocketbook and shoes and dance.

Changing Times

I understand some people do not want to go out and buy an iPod but they need to give it up with the cassette walk-man.

Fast fact: the CD player was invented in 1984

Friction

Question i have for skinny people: how does it feel to wear corduroy pants without fear of starting a fire?

Observations From Q

These are some on the go thoughts from my experience at Q

Observation: Christians often spend most of their time talking about themselves

Direct quotes from one said Christian:

"I struggle just as much as the homeless, I need to have a lot of humility to step out of my comfort zone and help them."

"I am the only person in my city who cares . . . And I am tired"

Jeepers Creepers

If i was not currently trying to follow jesus i would probably never start . . . His followers are judgmental and creepy


And note . . . Sadly . . . I am a follower . . . Which most likely makes me judgmental and creepy

Important Starburst Update

I used to think red Starburst were the best, but now i am leaning towards pink.

Brain = Carry-On Luggage

Just in case anyone still has doubts after last weeks episode, that the "non-believing" world sees Christians as stupid, here are some links to show how people feel.

Also, Jered and I are compiling a list of our recommended books and we hope to have that up soon!

Observation:

If it's a woman with a mullet, she shops at the christian book store
