Thinking of adopting this policy. Hummmm..... 5 sentence maximum on replies. If people wanted longer emails, I could just send them my address and we could write letters : )

Mankind

A little girl asked her mother: "How did the human race appear?"

The mother answered: "God made Adam and Eve; they had children; and so was all mankind made."

Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. The father answered: "Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved."

The confused girl returned to her mother and said: "Mum, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?"

The mother answered: "Well, Dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family, and your father told you about his."

Internet Overload

Well, it has finally happened. One too many lunches wasted. One too many real life priorities put off. One too many hours wasted at work. I'm on Internet Information Overload (IIO). I think somehow I thought it would be cool that now that I can access all the world's information, I should. I was wrong. Blogs, news sites, aggregators that aggregate other aggregators, twitter, email, wikipedia........It has all come crashing down on me today. I will never keep abreast of the world's information. I will never know everything. I'm taking my lunches back. I'm taking my free time back. I'm taking my family time back. I'm taking my personal quiet time with God back. I don't think it will be easy, but it starts today....

Who knows, maybe if the news is really important, it'll find me?

Michael Phelps

A tribute to the 2008 Summer Olympics...

1 - There is no need to save the whales, Michael Phelps has saved them all.

2 - Michael Phelps caught Moby Dick. He then let him go because he is just that awesome.

3 - There is no need for an astronaut to go to Mars. Michael Phelps has already been there and swam so much that there is no longer water.

4 - The real reason Poseidon has a magical trident is to protect himself from Michael Phelps.

5 - If you look into the eye of a hurricane you will see Michael Phelps swimming.

6 - Every time Michael Phelps farts in the water a hurricane is formed.

7 - Michael Phelps caused an uproar when he joined the United States Olympic swim team instead of his native Atlantis. The Atlantians blew themselves up in protest.

Can't Take Criticism

Although Proverbs warn me to keep my cool and to absorb as much criticism as I can (filtering as much as possible that is negative), it's like as a human I am not built for criticism. When someone points out error in me it's like I burn inside. Anybody else feel like that? Lord help me to be cool as a cucumber....
