Priceless

Deion Sanders said in his book:

"'"I tried having sex with one girl, then two, then three at one time. Then doing it while on ecstasy. I experienced the most incredibly dark emptiness, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. There's no way you could understand unless you've been there."'"


After telling this story, along with several others, to our 9th grade dude discipleship group, one of them said "Martin, how do you know so much about black people having sex?"....Good question.

Georgia, what the hell?

March 24, 2008

10:30am "I need to roll my car windows down, I don't want the car getting too hot sitting in the sun all day," I exclaimed sorta.

10:40am [I put said plan into action]

11:09am [It's freakin' snowing outside]

11:10am [laughter ensues from those in hearing range of 10:30am statement]

11:11am [visually saw 11:11 on the clock, made superstitious wish; but this is irrelevant to story]

11:12am [refuse to put my windows up to protest Georgia's weather patterns]

11:45am [I like to think Georgia learned it's lesson]

Glad - Easter Song

My favorite Easter song (aptly named). Why does it also have to be the lamest and most hilarious-in-a-negative-way music video I've ever seen?

The Prom Queen Phenomenon

Situation: The prom queen, who also got the superlative for best looking....Some guy comes up to her and tells her she is beautiful...her heart melts with that compliment.

Why does that make her feel so good? She's already been declared physically attractive many times before. He's not telling her anything new. She already knows she's attractive. So why is she uplifted with this compliment?? Why are 10 compliments not enough? For some reason, she has to hear it again and again and again and again for her to believe it. And if she goes a week or so without hearing it or seeing evidence of it, she probably starts to doubt she's got it. Man, what slavery!

I've read psychology. The only thing I've ever read that makes sense of this phenomenon is Searching for God Knows What by Don Miller.

Unresolved Earwax concerns

I clean my ears out every other day...always with unsterilized objects. Is that above or below the normal human ear cleanage frequency?

I've heard that cotton swabs in the ears isn't healthy because it pushes the earwax back into the ear. Hopefully mythbusters will let me know.

When the wax comes out and its dark after being cooked at 98.6 degrees....how long as it been stuck up there? One week? Two weeks? A month?

I've yet to hear a sermon illustration involving earwax. It's got to be related to the Christian life somehow.
