So I haven't blogged in a while. So since I owe my two readers an update I figured I'd try to make it a humorous one.
I walked by a safety pin on the ground yesterday that was opened. I thought to myself: "was 'safety' really the first word that came to mind when describing those little spring loaded things?" I'm pretty sure the safety pin naming committee failed miserably.
The coffee machine here at work has a button for "cafe latte" and a button for "cappuccino" however, it does not matter which button you press, because the same drink comes out. I've tasted it, I'm a coffee snob... it's the same.
I recently discovered that Sharpie makes a pen that doesn't "bleed through." Congratulations! It still doesn't make up for the countless ruined desks and art projects or Goodness, what happens when one of those markers goes through the wash.
When I see a label on an article of clothing that says, "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" pretty much translates as "I will never wash this."
The worst place to get a zit is in the cleft of your nostril. Enough said.
I eat lunch with Junior High students occasionally at the school here at work, and I'm convinced that if I were in the stock market, I'd invest in Zumiez and PacSun. Studded belt anyone?
I think it's fair to say that the baseball cap no longer serves the purpose of which it was named.
The pinnacle of an awkward conversation is the point where you were in the middle of what you were saying forgetting where you were going and recovering instinctively with looking at your phone as if you got a text message and then looking up and saying, "so. yeah.."
It is always awkward when you just get done going up a few flights of stairs in a hurry for a meeting and then trying to cover up your out-of-shapeness and nearly suffocating to death.
I peeled the game label off of my fast food cup today and it read: INSTANT WIN and then below said:"not an instant winner." Boy if that isn't the cherry on my sundae!
All in all, I can't help but be sarcastic about some things. It really helps get through the day with a tinge of humor. Enjoy

Forever Reminders
Are there some things in your life that you constantly are reminded and will be forever of either an event that occurred or a truth about something? Let me clear that up with an example. Most people, when they want to rebel or make a statement, will get a tattoo. I decided not to do the tattoo thing, but go a step further and get branded. I got a cross branded over my heart on my chest. Hurt? Yes. Worth it? I think so. Reversible? No. That brand will be on my chest forever and every time I look at it, I'll be reminded of why I got it. To make a statement of my salvation and not rebellion.
I want to jump back into the story of Noah to point to a "forever reminder" that the Lord made with Noah. This reminder is something that we now take for granted and even defile in our world today: The rainbow. Why is the rainbow the symbol for homosexuality? Why would something, which we will see as a sign of God's covenant, defiled in such a way? Why is the rainbow associated with leprechauns? The rainbow, seen in a simple, harmless, majestic, and somewhat weak connotation is anything but that.
In Genesis 9, the rainbow was God's forever reminder, otherwise known as a covenant, that He would never destroy all mankind again with a flood. The rainbow is a sign of peace really. It is not just a scientific wonder, but a faithful reminder of God's love and patience with mankind forever!
9:12-17 "And God said, "this is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it an remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.""
If you are ever in a place where you're wondering how God is present and faithful even in an evil and awful world, look up after the storm and see the rainbow. We are so blessed by the seeing of a rainbow because God is keeping his covenant. There are other covenants that the Lord made with different kings and people in the Bible, but this one, alongside of the Abrahamic covenant (descendants being like the sand of the seashore), is the most evident even today! Let us hold fast to our devotion to a faithful God!
