... you might be a redneck.

Look, we all do stuff that we know is the lazy way out and yet temptation gets the better of us. This comic is about me. There is a line where the amount of leaves clearly requires a rake and I've crossed it - big time. Oh well. Call me a redneck, call me lazy. Just don't call too loudly, I'll be busy relaxing on the couch.

The lock-in

Nothing has contributed to my aging like the tribulations of the lock-in. It is some kind of requirement that the kids come up with some kind of prank or outrageous stunt. I keep telling myself that I'm too old for these things and yet I keep on doing them.

Do you have any lock-in stories? Send 'em to me, I can always use the inspiration.

Water fountain from (you know where)

Sooo ... this is my church. Seriously, the thing shoots like 2 feet in the air in two separate streams. If I had a camera, it would be total youtube material.

Do you have any equipment malfunction stories? Send 'em to me, I can always use the inspiration.

budget and finance

Nothing causes more conflict in a church than finances. Let's face it, most churches are run like a business - it's hard not to. And yet, Jesus makes it clear that money should be our last concern. What's a poor congregation to do? Ya gotta pay the bills.

Tell me, what do you think?

Young, skinny blonds need the Word too.

One of my favorite people of all time was Dan Vigus. He had a way of recognizing the humor in just about every situation and on one occasion, while vacationing on the beach he made the above comment to his Father in law. The midwesterners in us had been practically shielding our eyes to the bathers on the beach and his impromptu quip lightened the mood. It's a small thing, but it's all the small jokes and observances from people like Dan and others that have formed my sense of humor and inspired Finding Elim.

So remember, God's beauty is all around us: in the sunset, the mountains and in the fleeting, vibrant beauty of youth. Appreciate His creation! (but don't get too enthused or your wife will give you her own thoughts on the matter).
