WASP!

I don't mean white, anglo-saxon protestant... I mean the biggest flying, stinging insects you have ever seen. They have taken a liking to the office. These things are so big, they are getting FAA approval before they circle to land!

This one had a close encounter with my study journal... rest in pieces!

In case you can't afford an IPhone

This beauty belongs to a friend of mine...

You know it's going to be an interesting day when...

You step onto the elelvator at the office and "Come On Baby Light My Fire" is playing on the elevator speakers, and it's not The Doors version...instead it's Jose Feliciano (the Feliz Navidad singer).

Only in Texas folks...

The biggest lie

I keep having this recurring thought that I've got to share.

I attended a friends batpism yesterday. In my experience, most people who get baptized have something they want to leave under the water! And some people are able to bury stuff forever. But for most of us, myself included, sin finds a way of resurrecting it's ugly head. And that gets us so discouraged.

Here is what the enemy wants you to believe: if you slip up once you might as well throw in the towel. It's a lie. I think we let small failures turn into big failures because we get so discouraged. What we need to do is a little damage control via confession. Ok, I messed up. But I'm still doing better than I was. And I'm not going to let this failure keep me down. And then we need to bury the sin again! Instead of viewing the slip up as your defeat, defeat the enemy again via repentance!

I think I'm trying to offer encouragment to those who are discouraged. The grace of God has a way of turning what could be final failures into single failures! Don't buy into the enemy's lie! Don't throw in the towel.

What is your boat?

Saw this bumper sticker today, and it got me thinking about how likely it is that the reason most people live their entire lives never stepping out of their place of comfort is because we often times have this wrong idea that we actually have to "be perfect" in order to walk on the water.

So instead of listening and obeying NOW, we wait. And wait. And wait......until......we are perfect. Which is a real problem. Especially considering that it's NEVER going to happen!

I'm so thankful for people like Peter in the Bible. A man who was far from perfect, but who had the courage to break out of his comfortable spot in the boat and follow his master.

With that said, I'll pose this question...WHAT IS YOUR BOAT??

"Bonehead, aisle 4...Bonehead aisle 4..."

They say the trick to pulling a fast one is to do something that could, under some circumstances, be believable.

That probably does not extend to this guy, who swapped the Walmart price tags on a 42 inch Sony plasma screen, thereby reducing the price from $948 to under five dollars.

Granted, he had the sense to use the self-checkout line, but they snagged him at the door when he showed his receipt.
