It's Not by Works

A few weeks ago, at N.O.W. (our Sunday School Class), we found a startling discovery; something that PROVES good deeds don’t get you into heaven: When Jesus was hanging on the cross, he was flanked on either side by two men who deserved their deaths. They were thieves, liars, cheats, and who knows what else.

One of them said to Jesus that He should get them all down and save them if He really was the Son of God. The man was mocking Jesus, even in the face of certain death, he mocked Him-who-came-to-save.

Mountain Lion Kittens for Sale!

It is funny how a little rumor will turn into an elaborate tale - quite literally - over night!

A few weeks ago, the newspaper staff had heard about a mountain lion sighting in our county and set out to find the roots of the rumor.

Some of the rumors that were going around town by Monday would read something like the following article if we didn’t check into all of our news sources and just wrote from hearsay!

(We did print this article, but just for fun - italics are my added notes)

God's Got a Point

One day, a doctor of medicine was complaining to the Lord - although, he didn't think God was listening - and was going on and on about how terrible the world is turning out and all the bad things that God seems to be just letting happen.

"God," he said. "Why haven't you sent us people who have the knowledge to heal the sick? I mean, people who can find a cure for cancer and the like? And if you don't send someone, why haven't you come down and stepped into this country and fixed all our problems?"

Nevermind

"Where did I put that...Oh! Nevermind..."

...or...

"What did that one thing say... Oh! Nevermind. I see it now..."


I am learning more and more that I need to stop and open my eyes before I open my mouth. Increasingly, I do that; I'll start to say something, mostly when forming a question, and stop my self in mid-sentence, because I'll already see what I'm about to inquire of.

Where I Don't Go Crazy

I've been asked several times before to start a blog, but never took the time to do it. I guess you can see now that I've finally gotten around to it.

To everyone joining my blog or following or just reading it to catch up with me, welcome. I'm going to try to keep my blog as sane as I possible can - and as often as I can. Titled - Where I Don't Go Crazy - it's exactly where I intend to go crazy; let myself go after a long day, be it good, bad or ugly.
