My Pastor is Brave

Our pastor started a new series a few weeks ago. He’s a brave, brave man (and also hilarious).

Click HERE to see the reason. Week one was May 10. Week two was May 17. The final week was May 24 - soon to be posted.

Dave’s Weekly 24 Poll

I missed several weeks of Dave Barry’s 24 recaps, but remembered to check in this morning. The poll is great and I love the first comment posted to the poll page.

Beau’s Dream

Over the weekend, I started sleeping more in the recliner than the bed. It’s just too painful to be completely horizontal anymore, which sux.

Anyway, the other morning Beau said he had this dream about his parents where they had a lion cub as their new pet.

When he woke up he realized that the lion cub’s growling was actually my snoring being incorporated into his dream.

Hilarious.

The Cute Houdini

Just a quick Jesse story from this morning…

Beau and I both woke up at about 2:30am. I went to the bathroom (I think he did, too) and then he headed to the sofa downstairs to try to sleep while I got back into bed. I lay there for about an hour with my mind churning on the things to do at work, so I got up to write stuff down and ultimately went down to the computer to do some personal work things, as I said in my earlier post.

I came back up at about 6:30am to start getting ready for work, waking up Beau on the way. As I headed up the stairs I thought I heard Jesse making wake up noises in his room. When I got to the top, he called out for Daddy. Before I went to let him out of his room, I went into our room and immediately saw an open packet of Saltine crackers laid out on the recliner seat along with the in-ear thermometer - things laid on the end table next to the chair that hadn’t been put away after our family illness. I was stumped for a minute, because Jesse was behind the closed door in his room.

So I went to his door, opened it, and asked, “What’s up, Buddy?” He was bright-eyed (moreso than when we usually open the door first thing in the morning) and immediately said, “Crackers?” I laughed and called down to Beau to come to see what he was missing.

Turns out that Jesse has somehow gotten out of his room (we have one of those doorknob covers on the inside of his door to keep him locked in), gotten to the crackers and started to snack, and then went back into his room and closed the door. Because I was in the basement I couldn’t hear him. Beau clearly didn’t hear him while he was still asleep on the main floor.

By the time Beau made his way upstairs, Jesse was settled on the floor with the Saltines, munching happily. Too funny. And now we need to figure out what do to about our Houdini - we might need to put a high latch or chain on the front door to keep him in and other safety things that we haven’t thought about yet.

Adventures in parenthood.

Methuselah’s Wallet

Beau’s small group is studying Job. He came home last week and shared his befuddlement over the following verse in chapter 11 from The Message:

[ Reach Out to God ] “Still, if you set your heart on God and reach out to him, If you scrub your hands of sin and refuse to entertain evil in your home, You’ll be able to face the world unashamed and keep a firm grip on life, guiltless and fearless. You’ll forget your troubles; they’ll be like old, faded photographs. Your world will be washed in sunshine, every shadow dispersed by dayspring. Full of hope, you’ll relax, confident again; you’ll look around, sit back, and take it easy. Expansive, without a care in the world, you’ll be hunted out by many for your blessing. But the wicked will see none of this. They’re headed down a dead-end road with nothing to look forward to—nothing.”

Italics are mine.

Forward to last night when he was starting to read our devotional and then started to chuckle. He said he couldn’t get the thought of the “faded photographs” out of his head - imagining the patriarchs comparing pictures of the grandkids. Old Noah talking about Methuselah’s wallet-full of “faded photographs.”

We were cracking up at the thought.

I think this may be a case where The Message doesn’t really work.

My Sister is Evil

So I log in to Facebook for a minute before heading out for home and what do I find?

As I said, there - I do not remember those glasses at all. But it’s a bit spooky how much Jesse looks like me in that picture. I think it’s the gapped teeth.

That is too funny.

If You Haven’t Seen Star Wars, This is For You!

I’ve seen this all over the place. Of course, I’m more than a day late and a dollar short. However, I’m not as late and short as the chick who explains the Star Wars trilogy in this clip. Sadly hilarious.

Cake Wrecks

This is one of the funniest Cake Wrecks posts in a long time.

Not that it’s not funny on a regular basis, but this particular post made me laugh out loud.

Today’s YouTube, Part Duh

I saw this earlier in the week at Thinklings, but it was always while at work and I can’t view YouTube stuff at work. So today is the first chance I had to see it and Jared is right, “This is some of the most accurate (and hilarious) social commentary I’ve ever heard.”
