Money, it's a gas

Which, most of you have probably noticed, has gone up over 20 cents the past two weeks.

Don't go over the cliff -Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash...

Oh no!

Don't be that guy!



Which leads me to The Donald's Consumer Corner - Underwear Edition:

On the "Buy" list:

• (Good) Starter brand boxer briefs - good fit, seams form a 'pouch' to keep stuff organized, average leg fit.
• (Better) Gildan boxer briefs - excellent fit & waistband, well-defined 'pouch', snug leg openings.  Rated a best buy.

"Don't Buy" list:

• Faded Glory boxer briefs - flimsy waistband, poor form, oversize leg openings.  Use them to clean your aluminum car/SUV rims (after laundering).

You're welcome.

But you should still wear something over them if your shades are open or anyone else is in the house...

WWJS?

The church I attend is sort of  'cutting edge', or, to traditionalists, weird.  Loud music, laughter, and less emphasis on 'hell-fire and brimstone' - although our Pastor frequently reminds that God is "the sin killer".

This week I got a mailer from Fellowship Church in Grapevine.  The pastor who had a "bed-in" (with his wife) on the roof of his church, directing congregants to have sex for seven days (not continuously, I assume).  Anyway, suffice it to say I believe they're a little farther 'out there' than my church.

Here's their latest mailer:



What would Jesus say to Katy Perry, Lance Armstrong (looks like he's riding by the takeout window at the Last Supper), Ellen DeGeneres, LeBron James, Jerry Jones, and Kim Kardashian?

I admit I don't really know much about Katy Perry, other than the general impression she's a pop-twit.  I thought you had to be able to collect Social Security before you could be a blue-hair.

Armstrong?  That might could be an interesting conversation.  The Td'F doping committee may not know everything, but God does.

He might tell Ellen to just sit still and eat her dinner.

"LeBron, we didn't name that Bible after you.  How about you marry one of your baby-mommas?"

To Jerry Jones, it would probably be "Dude, why do you keep trying to kiss me?"

And to Kim K.: "Go and sin no more."  Or maybe, "Just go away, and take all your sisters with you."


Well, that's my take on the upcoming Fellowship series.  Pastor Ed Young may have a different angle. YMMV.

And Jesus might have a different opinion, altogether.

[In unison] "Jesus might have a different opinion."

I found them!

People kept insinuating, and I sometimes agree, that I'd lost them:

Although, labeling is sometimes misleading...

I think those need to go in the buttstock of the M6 Scout.

It's the time of the signs

...or, er, sign of the times.

Whatever.

 A family has 40 electronic tech devices confiscated as a demonstration/experiment on the Steve Harvey show, forcing them to - gasp! - actually communicate with one another. Ironically, the intro to the video is an ad for a tablet device.

Full disclosure: As I write this, my TV is running in the den, and my cellphone hotspot is providing the link for my PC.

Christmas Message...

Away from the computer for the last two days, here's Keystone's Christmas message:

Christmas 2012 Greeting from Keystone Church on Vimeo.

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas!

Deadlines and Schedules!

Who needs 'em?

After wrestling with doing things 'my way' for the majority of my life...it turns out I do.

In the past few years, I've learned, and accepted, that I actually perform better with deadlines, than when I 'freeform' my time.  Not sure why I resisted so long, but am trying to gain better time management skills to make better use of the 86,400 seconds each day.

Maybe an old dog can learn new tricks.

Now, if I could just hire a secretary...
