I found this article yesterday that cracked me up.

It’s about what Chuck Norris would do if he became president, written by Chuck Norris! Seriously, this one will crack you up, here’s a small exerpt:

Require members of Congress to work out on the Total Gym 15 minutes each day – or else they can’t vote on anything.

Note: I’m not agreeing with all of his view points, I just think they are funny.

Check it out… you might recognize the awesome dancer as one of the writers for this blog (it’s not me).

Yesterday as I was traveling through the wonderland that is Tennessee, I happened upon a truck stop and found this little gem.

This is “Anti-Monkey Butt Powder”, displayed for you by an “anonymous” student on our youth trip. And now for a picture of it’s description:

Great for extreme sports? I have done some extreme sports and never once felt the need for this stuff. If this doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what will. Your Thoughts?

Can there be a more odd combination of eating establishments? I saw this sign the other day in Alpharetta of all places. I thought, hmm…in this very parking lot I’m likely to see a truck jacked up so high that the bottom of the door is level with my forehead, and a Rolls Royce worth more than my house. Something about that just doesn’t seem right…

Can a Waffle House and Starbucks thrive in the same stip mall, amazingly the answer appears to be yes.

P.S. There have been a lack of posts lately due to my feeling less than well, this will be changing shortly, come back again soon to read some good stuff.

Last week some people decided it was time to ‘break and enter” our church office in the middle of the night. Presumably they were looking for spiritual guidance. But I guess when there was none to be had in the wee early hours of the morning, they settled into looking for cash and other small items of value. I have to say that being awakened in the morning to a voice mail saying that the church office has been broken into and that I need to come and talk to the police is not the best of ways to start the day, or the weekend for that matter. But, as the events of the morning unfolded I found myself less and less distraught and more and more amused.

It might seem odd to be amused by someone breaking into our church office, so let me explain. As the morning progressed it was obvious that the burglars had only damaged the office door and some filing cabinets, which was good. Judging by how they went through the office and which offices they focused on, it became obvious that these guys (or girls) were looking for cash. They even got the church’s hammer (pictured above) and pried open a filing cabinet looking for money (breaking the hammer). Here’s where the funny part comes in. They broke open numerous filing cabinets and left open plenty of drawers, but the one drawer that actually contained any money went completely untouched (note: a very small amount of money, hence the name “petty cash”). Somewhere in my imagination I can just see an angel holding that drawer shut and giggling as the thieves looked in every drawer around it.

In all, the thieves only got two rolls of stamps (come on, who steals stamps), and three watches that were to be given away as door prizes from the Taste of Austell. No cash went missing and no computer was touched, which makes me think these guys weren’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.

The name of the LORD is a strong tower;
the righteous man runs into it and is safe.
Proverbs 18:10

P.S. – If the thief who broke into the church office happens to be reading this we respectfully request a formal apology and a new hammer. And…no offense on the “sharpest knife in the drawer” comment, even though I meant it…

I haven’t been feeling well for a last day or two, so I just want to take this opportunity to just share a few thoughts.

1. Blogging isn’t evil, but the bloggers might be.
   Some Southern Baptist folks seem to think that blogging is a waste of time. Some leaders have called blog content “mindless blather”. As I read that I hope and pray that this blog does is not categorized as such. My prayer is that askingY is a place where people can grow together, laugh together, interact with one another and be challenged to take their spiritual journey to the next level.
2. John Piper is bad (not really, just click the link it’s funny, thanks D10)
3. Google is my hero
   Seriously, I am a gmailer (not sure if that is a word, I think I made it up), I use Google’s calendar, spreadsheets, document creator, notebook, image sorter/editor, online picture album, search engine, group emailer, personalized homepage, instant messenger, and rss reader. I think Google might take over the world, or at least give Microsoft a run for her money.
4. I want a new smoke alarm
   “‘Johnny! Johnny! Wake up! Get out of bed! Leave the room!’
   Smoke alarms equipped with this personalized recording of a worried mother’s voice were significantly better at waking up children in a deep sleep and enabling them to perform a simulated escape procedure than standard residential tone alarms, a new study found.” I think my smoke alarm would shout “Adam, THERE’S A FIRE, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!” but that’s just me.

Well, I think that’s enough random thoughts for one day. I hope you enjoy this odd collage of serious, stupid, funny and geeky musings. Until next time…

As a humorous followup to last weeks not so humorous post about making gods, I give you a cartoon!
