Totally Amazing...Lego Version of the Word

You have to check out this site.  I just ran across it while wrapping up my message for Sunday.  Absolutely nuts...in a weird way. You won't believe your eyes.

Public Apology

I use this post to publically apologize to everyone I scared halfway through my sermon this morning.  I am sorry for dramatizing how I would react if  bitten by a rattlesnake at Lake McMurtry.  I am sorry for screaming a little too loud and sending many of you into a state of panic.  I am sorry for smiling even as I write this apology thinking of how startled you were.  I am very sorry.  Really.  No...not really sorry, but somewhat sorry.  It was funny to me and for that I am sorry.  Kind of.

Confirmation Number

Have you ever had a phone conversation go like this?

Associate:  "Mr. Mitts, we thank you for placing an order with us today. If you could grab a pen, we'll give you your confirmation number."

Me:  Fumble, rumble, pretend to be looking for a pen.  "Ok, I'm ready."  (Ready with my imaginary pen that is.)

Associate:  "Mr. Mitts, your confirmation number is 2843672."

Me:  "Ok, got it. Thank you."

Associate:  "Mr. Mitts, do you mind repeating back that confirmation number to make sure it is correct?"

Me:  "Uh...umm...28...92...ummm....  I'm sorry, I can't read my own writing."  (These imaginary pens are hard to handle.)

Fun Game from Pastor Pusch's Blog

I found this fun seasonal game on Pastor Pusch's blog.  Sounds like fun!

Totally Tacky:TT

That’s right folks, it’s one of my favorite games to play during the Christmas season. The game is called TT (for Totally Tacky)! Remember those childhood games you used to play in the car like the Alphabet Game or the State License Plate game? TT is another one of those favorites, fun for the whole family! The game was first introduced to me by my “second” family in Michigan when I was just a little lad. The rules are quite easy and almost anyone with an eye for tackiness can play! Depending on where you play, the fun can last for hours. 

Rules of the Game:
Here’s how you play! As you are driving around the neighborhood (yours or others) pay close attention to the Christmas/Holiday decor displayed on or around the houses. Many times you will find homes decorated quite nicely, but every once in awhile you will find one that is TT (Totally Tacky). When you spot one of those houses, be the first one to shout “TT” and if the family agrees, you win the prize of knowing how to spot a “Totally Tacky” House!

Game Hints: 
1. If you see more blow-up decorations (Grinch, Pooh, Mickey Mouse, Carousel, etc.) than you do lawn, you might have a “TT” house.
2. If you see a baby Jesus and a Santa Clause less than 2ft away from each other, you might have a “TT” house.
3. If you see more animals in the yard than the local petting zoo, you might have a “TT” house.
4. If you see anything signed with “Merry Xmas”, you might have a “TT” house.
5. If you see more lights used than Clark Griswald from the movie Christmas Vacation, you might have a “TT” house.

"I Smell Dead People"

Tn2_sixth_sense_2

On a trip to Cushing yesterday, I met a pastor named John Baumert.  We had a good discussion regarding the ministry.  However, the tidbit from the conversation that I want to share is not really related to church stuff.

Somehow, the conversation veered into the subject of being around dead bodies.  John had helped with a funeral home before and was given this bit of advice regarding the smell.

"How do handle the smell?  I mean...really...it can be bad."

"We rub a little Vicks in each nostril and put an Atomic Fireball candy in our mouth.  You can't smell anything that way."

Now we know.

You know you need more exercise...

...when you have to lay down while brushing your teeth.

It really made things easier.  But afterwards I thought, "How old am I?  What kind of wimp can't stand up and move a brush around their mouth for a minute?"
