its a tragedy : my cynic getting the better of me
so i’m catching up on my news feeds and blog postings. catching up on things i’ve missed out on for one reason or another.
i find myself reading up on the recent school shooting at a high school in knoxville. it, along with all school shootings and violence, is a tragedy. i pray for the students and families involved… reading up on the story. this one account from a mother had me just cracking up.
"I whipped around," Mirtes said. "I started loading kids into my car, and I got them off campus as quickly as possible."
She said she took about 12 students in her Monte Carlo to Litton’s restaurant, nearby on Essary Road.
i am sorry, but just imagining 12 students cramming into a monte carlo under any circumstances to me is just an image that i cannot not giggle at.
i not me : i mean we
andy asks a good question we all know while pontificating usain bolts celebrating
I think it’s that "You don’t do that" line that gets under my skin.
Because when Rogge says "you don’t do that" of course what he means is "I don’t do that." Obviously, Usain Bolt does do that, and Rogge just thinks it is somehow not reflective of the Olympic attitude or something.And
because "he’s still a young man" that means obviously he just doesn’t
know what’s appropriate. The corollary being, if he were older he would
therefore know what was appropriate and then act … well, …
appropriately. But it doesn’t cross Rogge’s mind that Bolt might, in
fact, know exactly what Rogge thinks would be appropriate and has
another idea altogether about what "appropriate" really is.AS USUAL, I see something here that the church might learn. (You knew I’d get to it eventually, didn’t you?)
Here’s the question: How often do church people say "You don’t do that in church" when what they really mean is "I don’t do that in church"?
it reminds me too. that when the secretary of the church says that "everyone" is talking, that translates me and the person who hangs out in the office with me. usually.. &:~D

my landmark day : the things i do in the name of youth ministry
yes, this is me getting prepped for my very first pedicure. since i am renowned in my church for wearing flip flops year round (even in snow) people get a good look at my feet all the time. so it isn’t hard to imagine that my feet get ridicule rather often. so some of my girls decided to pay for me to get a pedicure. due to schedules only one of my girls could make it, plus her mom, so i was in txt mode while soaking, filing, poking and whatever else they do.
my realization is… this is pretty cool. i might go back. massage chair & foot soak is cool enough to go back. having odd man scraping and poking at my toes is kinda odd, but we had this unspoken rule of not making eye contact which was cool with me.
another realization. i’m no longer going to let wifey make getting a pedicure sound like a chore. it is so not. your girl secret is out in the open now!
