Tuesday Thriller
Sometimes I need a little brain candy, if you will, and this seemed like an interesting tidbit. While silly at first glance, I think it's actually quite interesting to see what other people are reading, and this game is almost like reading an excerpt from the book once it's really gotten into its purpose or plot... So, enjoy! (And if you decide to do this on your blog, leave me a comment so I can read it; if you don't blog, you can leave yours in my comments for the rest of us to read!!)
"Quick, Grab A Book!"
So the rules of the game are this:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Beginning with that sentence, post the next three sentences.
5. Tag someone to continue the game -- I tag YOU, Christine!
On with the game...
The book at the top of my stack is a book entitled, "Prayer: Finding the Heart's True Home," by Richard J. Foster. It's a book that I have, neglectfully, only read the introduction of but think will be a great book. Each chapter seems to be stand-alone, and it was assigned reading for a course I took that I just never got around to reading and was never tested over. I know that's terrible!!! But maybe this will spur me on to reading it. Here's my excerpt:
"'Reveal my sin, O Holy Spirit'; 'Lord Jesus, let me feel loved.' Notice the brevity of each of the prayers -- seldom more than seven or eight syllables."
This passage is discussing the topic of breath prayer, BTW.

The Hormone Hostage
Got this in an email from my mom and couldn't resist sharing it...
The Hormone Hostage knows that there are days in the month when all a man has to do is open his mouth and he takes his life into his own hands! This is a handy guide that should be as common as a driver's license in the wallet of every husband, boyfriend, co-worker, or significant other:
DANGEROUS: "What's for dinner?"
SAFER: "Can I help you with dinner?"
SAFEST: "Where would you like to go for dinner?"
ULTRA SAFE: "Here, have some wine."
DANGEROUS: "Are you wearing that?!?"
SAFER: "Wow, you sure look good in brown!"
SAFEST: "Wow! Look at you!"
ULTRA SAFE: "Here, have some wine."
DANGEROUS: "What are you so worked up about?"
SAFER: "Could we be overreacting?"
SAFEST: "Here's my paycheck.:
ULTRA SAFE: "Here, have some wine."
DANGEROUS: "Should you be eating that?"
SAFER: "You know, there are a lot of apples left."
SAFEST: "Can I get you a piece of chocolate with that?"
ULTRA SAFE: "Here, have some wine."
DANGEROUS: "What did you do all day?"
SAFER: "I hope you didn't over-do it today."
SAFEST: "I've always loved you in that robe!"
ULTRA SAFE: "Here, have some more wine."
12 Things that "PMS" stand for:
1. Pass My Shotgun
2. Psychotic Mood Swing
3. Perpetual Munching Spree
4. Puffy Mid-Section
5. People Make me Sick
6. Provide Me with Sweets
7. Pardon My Sobbing
8. Pimples May Surface
9. Pasw My Sweats
10. Pissy Mood Syndrome
11. Pack My Stuff
12. Potential Murder Suspect
"Remember: Money talks, but chocolate rocks!!"

Raising Arrows
There are times when I get so frustrated with my life, feel completely judged and scorned, and just want to say, "Don't you people understand what I've been through?!?" And then I read some thing like this and it really humbles me.
**Let me warn you: this is an eloquently written blog of a mother who just lost a child. If you don't want to cry today or have your eyes really opened up, save this one for another day. But I guarantee that you will be so blessed by reading it...

The "Dirty Thirties"
A friend of mine posted this on her MySpace page and I was rolling with laughter! I can still remember the cable box on top of our TV with the buttons on top you had to punch to change the channels...
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what, with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning... uphill BOTH ways yada, yada, yada!
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no
way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good you've got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to
know something, we had to go to the library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!
There was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter...with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had
to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself!
Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! That was me!!
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and asteroids' and the graphics sucked! Your guy was a little
square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were
no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and
faster and faster until you died!
Just like LIFE!
When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some
old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you
were just screwed!
Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15
channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You
had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get
off your a$$ and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there
was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on
Saturday morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK !
And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we
had to use the stove or go build a fire.... imagine that!
If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing and shake it over the stove forever like an idiot.
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it
too easy. You're spoiled!!!!!!!!!
You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980! Oh yea, and
a seatbelt was Mom throwing her arm across your chest every time
she hit the brakes.
