Not Today, Bub

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

We needed a little detox from all the Halloween festivities over the last week or so, so we’re not really doing a regular update.  Sorry.

But, we will leave you with a link to a Homestar Runner Halloween cartoon from 2004. If you’ve never heard of Homestar Runner, you’ve really got to check them out. [...]

Happy Halloween

Monday, October 29th, 2007

I looked at my boys tonight, dressed up as giraffes. They looked so very cute, but were tired, and wired and acting crazy. I told Marc, “Thank God Halloween only comes once a year.”
We quickly corrected ourselves, in unison, “It comes three times a year.”
Late night (Sunday) we were invited to take the boys trick [...]

How Great is Our God

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

I will exalt you, my God the King;
I will praise your name for ever and ever.

Every day I will praise you
and extol your name for ever and ever.

Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom. - Psalm 145:1-3

This morning (I’m writing this Sunday night) in church, [...]

Volkswagen, Jelly, and Iron-ons

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Thursday was a long day. Sorry we don’t have more for you, but our church has a craft fair on Saturday so we’ve been making T-shirts (not enough time to order from our store so we’re making iron-on transfers) and Mt. Dew and Code Red jelly. Click on the link for a funny-type video of Jeff [...]

Jealousy (Little Green Man)

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

As they danced, they sang:
"Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his tens of thousands."

Saul was very angry; this refrain galled him. "They have credited David with tens of thousands," he thought, "but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?" And from that time on Saul kept a jealous [...]

Jeffery Dahmer says Creationism led him to Christianity

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

I had heard that Jeffery Dahmer, after being sentenced for murdering men, then engaging in cannibalism, became a Christian while serving his prison sentence. I never wanted to know more about his conversion because the things he did disgusted me. Today I stumbled across an interview with him. I was amazed to hear him talking [...]

Harry Potter inspired by Christianity

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

Warning: spoilers ahead!
I have a confession to make. A confession that will leave some Christians gasping, wondering if I have a true alliance to God, and make others stand up and yell, “Sing it sister.” Let me just say this and let the shunning and praising begin…. I. Love. Harry. Potter. I do. I love [...]

Televangelists in the Mist

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

I’ve been thinking a lot today about televangelists. Not the straight talking guys like Billy Graham, but the plastic-faced gilded personalities I remember from my formative years. The ones who were one of the factors that made me distrust Christians and see the whole thing as phony and self-serving. Ah, good times!

There were (and still [...]

New Babies

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

From the lips of child and infants you have ordained praise,
because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. Psalm 8:2
There has been a little more praising is this world for the last couple weeks, yesterday ushered in more. On October 1, Marc and I welcomed a new niece into our family. His [...]

Satan and the Bigger Better Deal

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Julie’s post yesterday about doubt, combined with my own the other day on possessions got me thinking about the little weasel who wants to be behind the scenes of every selfish little act. Sometimes it’s just us being the self-serving jerks we all know how to be, but sometimes there’s a much more malevolent force [...]
