Couldn't decide which person I wanted to embarrass so I chose to go with someone who will probably (hopefully) never see this. If she does, then I will pay with my life.
For Pete's sake, and mine, please, I beseech you, don't rat me out. But she's sure to get high marks in heaven for being married to a youth minister and living with Ben and Benn.

It's late but I'm blogging anyway because when I miss a few days, I get chewed out 'til 4:30 in the morning. Not kidding. ;) Okay, chewed out is a little strong but guilt-tripped, nonetheless. But, as is the norm in Chucky-land these days, I'm wide awake. Yep. You guessed it... the house.
I survived the inspection last week. And guess what? I get another one! Man, am I blessed or what? Yay, me!
Stupid financial institutions. Now they want to come out and inspect the house for safety and code compliance or some crap. Here's a heads-up: the house is 60 years old. It does not comply with current codes. That ain't rocket science.
Oh well. Just more to tolerate.

I found some hilarious greeting cards the other day. The guy who started the company says that he grew tired of shopping for Christian cards but never finding any that were humorous. If you get time, go to Inherit the Mirth and browse around. Sometimes, to be humorous, you have to push the line a little bit.
I really like the one where they show some camels with bumper stickers on their rear-ends. "My son is an honor student" and "My son is a medical student". Then Mary and Joseph's camel: "My son is God".
My favorite? Surfin' on the Mount.
That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

Dr. Golden said something today that really made me laugh but also parted the clouds a little.
This is one of those "duh" things but sometimes hearing it put a certain way clears the mud. He was talking about making sense in our choices. He mentioned people who always want to pray about things and how some things require zero prayer. His example was of a married man and woman (not to each other) who were having an affair. They told him they had prayed about it and felt it was God's will. Anybody else see a problem there?
You can fill in the blank with any situation you want to but his point was that we don't have to pray about things that God has commanded us to not do. If the Bible says don't do it, then prayer isn't going to gain you a different answer.
Like I said, it's pretty cut-and-dried but the way it was preached today made it speak. Good job, Goldy.

Finally, I've told Spenser before that I'm the "Don't" guy. Just ask me and I'll tell you a bunch of things that I've done that people should not do. My mistakes for your benefit. You're welcome.
Anyway, I've recently discovered another "don't."
Don't iron naked.
Have a great Monday.
