Pay to Play

I saw this pic on Digg. It made me think a bit. There are soo many people in the world (including me) that are always willing to let someone else take the blame. Oh man...it's the parent's fault...or my teacher is way too tough for me. How about, those people will just never understand me. I remember a game when I was growing up called "Not it!". Anybody ever play?
1....2....3.......NOT IT! Yah. Now you remember.
Ever seen the 3 Stooges do their pointing act? Moe points at Larry points at Curly points at Shemp (for those that remember) points at Moe.
In today's society, people are willing to play, or act and never acknowledge a responsibility for it.
Fess up, own up...whatever you want to call it. Pull a Nike. Just do it. You will feel better and the more you do it, the easier it becomes.
Not only are we responsible for ourselves...but as Christians, do we not have a responsibility to others as well?
A lot of times, I feel that turning a blind eye to something is just as bad as commiting the act itself.
What do you think?
I apologize for the rant, but this popped into my head on a bike ride today...and it wouldn't come out.

God's Grip

This morning during service, Pastor Flattery talked (among other things) about trust in God. God's Grip Don't Slip. Bad grammer, but very poignant. How many times during our lives do we feel desolate and alone? How many times have we felt like no one cares about what we are going through? Truth is, God does care. Always has, always will. The only thing that He asks, is to have faith and believe. We, as Christians need to have faith and believe that He knows what He is doing. So many times we try to wrestle with giants that are way too big to handle. (I used to do this all the time, still do occasionally) God has always said "Give this to Me!" but a lot of times, I say "No, I got it. I can do this." Fact of the matter is: I can't. You can't. But if we let go and let God? You betcha...He can, and will. We as humans are taught from a young age that the world gives nothing to you and if you want something, you must work for it and take it. While I think this is true to some degree, there are things that we will need help with along the way...someone to cheer us on and give us a helping hand, even though we refuse to see that we need one. Remind you of anyone you know?
Yah. Me too.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Yah...Ok. So the last post was a hoax. BUT I do hope and pray for my Cubbies to have a stellar season. It has been 100 years since the Cubs brought it home.
Go Cubs!

Awesome New Feature for Google!

Truly amazing that computers have come this far!
Google released a new product last week: Gday!
Based upon several factors, it can actually predict what will be on the internet tomorrow! (I imagine that it can't predict everything..)
But it actually came up with yesterday's Cubs score on Sunday...the day before the game!

April Fools' Day

So I tried to think of something clever to post for April Fool's Day. I thought long and hard and realized that I got nothin. I couldn't think of anything good. In light of that, here is a site that has some pretty good pranks: Check out Popular Mechanics
I can't seem to brain today, I must have the dumb.
