Friday Factoids

• Last night I burned my mouth with a hot fork. I was cooking dinner and using the fork to stir. Then I stuck it in my mouth to take a taste. I now have a four-pronged blister (in the exact shape of a fork) on the inside of my upper lip. Not cool.
  
  
• I’m wondering why my bed has 9 pillows on it, only to take them off and put them back on each day. Is that normal?
  
  
• I received three very nice e-mails this week… and one ugly e-mail.
  
  
• I’m writing a book. It is probably going to be entitled “Confessions of a Church Planter” or either “The Ten Year Hiccup.” You’re reading its content on my blog.
  
  
• Do you like guacamole dip? I make the best, even better than La Hacienda.
  
  
• Christianity is not going to spread because a church has cool services. Changed lives are the deciding factor.
  
  
• John Mayer is no sissy. The dude can play guitar… and sing. My favorite song by him is – “Say” – it was also the theme song for the movie “Bucket List” starring Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman.
  
  
• I want to be like Bear Grylls when I grow up. He’s the survivor guy who has the program, “Man vrs. Wild.” My wife is sick of watching it - not me - can't get enough.
  
  
• I’m about ready for a plate of fried mullet. RH, it’s time to heat up the grease.
  
  
• I have five gift cards to Starbucks…. That means free coffee for me until Jesus comes.
  
  
• Why is it that people can sort out all that confusion on the TV series “Lost” but they can’t understand their Bible?
  
  
• I watched Shawshank Redemption again (two days ago) – it was just as good as the first time I saw it.
  
  
• “the Lord smote the men of the city… and they had emerods (hemorrhoids) in their secret parts” (I Samuel 5:9). You’ve just got to love the KJV.
  
  
• If you can trust Jesus for eternity, maybe you should trust Him with your today.
  
  
• I’m amazed by how much Jesus’ life was marked by conflict. Maybe we aren’t being bold enough in the right ways.
  
  
• I think I’m going to have some chickin-n-dumplins this weekend with a chocolate dessert… as if my nether regions were not big enough already.
  
  
• Renae and I bought a bicycle rack the other day. It mounts on the rear of my truck and is designed to hold two bikes. Now we can take them anywhere. Can’t wait.
  

• Seen something on TV that made me laugh so hard that iced tea came up through my nostrils and splashed on the computer screen.
  
  
• The 1970s have called. I think I’m having a flashback.
  
  
• Man, my upper lip hurts.
  
  
• Never stick a hot fork in your mouth.
