Mmmmmm, a slush..

- I have a cherry slush, and it is good. I'm betting none of you are drinking a slush while reading this, so I win yet again.

- Mitch Hedberg is hilarious. It's too bad he died. I mean, it'd be too bad he died even if he weren't hilarious, but it's worse because he was. And I'm a very shallow person.

- New guy at work that I don't like very much. My boss described him as a retarded puppy (not to his face, of course). I was thinking along those same lines, but wasn't sure I should say anything.

- So... a bunch of girls at work like me. I know 3 do for certain, and at least 4 more hint at it (or others hint at it about them). But they're all unsaved, so basically it's like I'm Ray Charles and have been asked to judge a homemade art contest. Yeah, just like that... Anyway, I know I'm charming and all, but it's a little much. Must be my goatee.

- I only have two classes this semester, and so far they seem easy enough. I'm happy with my English teacher. The last few have been older women who always seem on the brink of yelling at you or crying. This time it's a guy who generally seems to be in a good mood, so that's cool. My history teacher isn't bad either. She said she's not a raging leftist liberal, which is always a plus.

guilty

- I harp on you guys for not blogging, and then miss 9 days straight. What's up with that?

- My brother brought Kaylynn home over the weekend. Very nice girl, though I can't figure out her hatred of grapes. That's just weird. Who hates grapes? Anyway, she saw ANH and ESB, so that's a good start.

- I sat down and remade my Star Wars CCG decks. I need an Echo Base Operations, if anyone has an extra. We couldn't find a single copy between Dave and myself. I need to play. Hopefully Mike will bring his decks sometime.

- I had to teach church tonight. Well, last night now. It's getting easier. I hope it wasn't only because I was tired, and therefore more relaxed.

- I have half of episode 13 done, but I am struggling for material, or drive, maybe. By the way, I know I've already said this, but Psych is really good.

- Wedding is coming up. I don't know who's going to show. I'll probably hang around Joe and Mike, like always. We're going to sing Mambo #5 instead of Hound Dog. And then after they finally let us back in, we'll organize a tango.

- Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee did well in Iowa, I guess. Which means nothing, but if CBS cares, than so do I, by crackles. Really, we have more than a year left on this. Who's idea was that? 'Cause I'm thinking into the briar patch for him.

- I got very little sleep last night, again. Either I'm going to start going to various support groups, or create an alter ego. Or maybe I'll just drink some warm milk. Actually, my problem isn't insomnia as much as a lack of hours in the night. And the fact that it's 2 am and I'm blogging. Something's screwy in my head.

- I downloaded Link's Awakening onto my PC, but the emulator keeps freezing up at bosses. And so I curse Basic Boy 2.03! Just, you know, fyi...

because no one else will

- No one is blogging. What's up with that?

- Busy, busy week. Bible conference. Joe's graduation. Dave and his honey are coming over. Work. And so forth. And yet I blog. While the rest of you don't. That's just SAD. So again, for my second blog in a row, I say thee SHAME!

- I still like Romney. I look at the other guys, and don't like very many of them. I don't really know if the Mormon thing is that big a deal.

- I've been thinking a lot about how Christians approach things. If I were to tell an unsaved person that it is sin for them to swear, it implies that I am saying they could do right by not swearing, when even the plowing of the wicked is sin (I think it's plowing, it might be something else; either way, the Bible is saying that they are incapable of doing right). So everything they do is sin. Whether they swear or not, they aren't making any progress. Biblically speaking, the only times it is implied that Hell will be more severe for some over others is in terms of the level of denial of Christ/opportunity to repent.

Now, I'm all for preaching against individual sins in church and also with people who believe they are saved but show no outward evidence. What I wonder about is telling the lost that they need to stop drinking, etc. You know what? If they get saved, they'll stop drinking. That's a Biblical fact. What good does it do them to stop drinking and not get saved? Nothing. Just some thoughts.
