This guy is funny!

jon acuffSeriously, just when you think that you are funny, someone else always shows up to the party that is infinitely funnier!  Totally ruins the mood!  So, whenever I look for a good dose of humor, I turn to non other than my friend Jon Acuff.  We’re facebook friends, that proves friendship right?  I mean, we all have deep and meaningful relationships with every single one of the 4.25 million people that we are “Friends” with.  So, then you could say that I am friends with Johnny as I like to call him.  (I can do that cause we’re friends…)

Today’s post was too funny not to share… Here is today’s post from his blog, Stuff Christians Like.  Check it out daily for a good dose of humor!

Today’s post is on the subject of: “The V neck”.  And as you know, I am a fan of the V.  So, head over here… check it out, and enjoy!

Slow it down

This week has come and gone with the greatest of ease.  Man!  I’ll tell you what, time slips by before you know it.

This week I was in meeting after meeting it seemed.  We ended up in the hospital with Noah’s forehead…  I met up with some other youth pastors discussed long range goals… I stressed out.  I cleaned our whole front yard(all million walnuts and all) and it seemed like life flew by.

Photo 76 Today I am going to try and slow it down.  Take it in.  Listen to each moment.  Spend time with the kids doing silly things… drawing dinosaurs, birds in nests, cranes, and whatever else Noah’s mind can think of.  We’re going to play pirates, build blocks, and legos.  Grace will run around and play kitchen, and tag along with big brother.  Today won’t come back…

The next time I’ll visit today will be in my memory.

What is one thing you want to slow down and enjoy today?

Can this be possible?

Here’s what I want to know… Is this even possible?  I mean honestly?  $29.95 will get me that sculpted body, in 6 simple minutes a day?

So, here’s what I think.  I think that it’s crazy!

What do you think?  Do you think the shake weight can actually work?

Seems like a short cut to me…

I’m shaky on the shake weight…  Are you solid, or shaky?

Card Houses…

The other night I was hanging out with a good buddy of mine, Rob.  Rob and I go way back… We go back to the days of middle school.  We were young morons that grew up together and lived life in the fast lane together.  The stories could go on forever.  So we got our families together for a fun evening of hanging out and catching up.  We ended up playing cards but then the card playing digressed into talking…  Which was awesome…  So I started building…  My hands are always doing something… Got to keep them busy… I started building a card house…  Didn’t get very far.  But then I thought about a little experiment…  Let’s see how many cards I can get on top of this card structure.  Here’s a few pictures…

card foundation...104 cards on top...Besides the obvious skill involved in getting all of those cards to balance there was a vital and necessary element to the whole production; the foundation.

Foundations are essential…  It doesn’t matter what you are doing…  Foundations are vital…

They are vital in:

  • card houses
  • real houses
  • friendships
  • marriages
  • jobs
  • school work
  • sports

It doesn’t just stop there.  Foundations are essential in your relationship with God and your understanding of Him!  With the simple card hut in mind, what kind of foundation are you establishing in the spiritual corners of your life?  Do you find yourself strengthening those foundations? Are you spending time reading God’s word? Are you finding times of quiet where you can pray and commune with God?  Are you finding times to be silent before the whole world and ask God to speak to you?  Are you finding times to spend with other christians so that you can encourage one another/build each other up/pray for one another and sharpen one another?  It’s these moments and efforts that help us strengthen our foundation.

Let’s try it.
