day no. 15,178: dairy, queen of scots

The Blizzard of Knox-bane

day no. 15,167: offramp to hell

Matthew 7:13-14
Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

The high way leads to eternal life, but there are many opportunities to veer off along the way, any number of tourist traps and offramps to distract you from remaining on the straight and narrow.

day no. 15,120: post malone y'all

Sometimes you're making a k-cup of afternoon coffee... when inspiration strikes.

day no. 12,854: GAP from GOF and the LJC‏

GAP from GOF and the LJC is probably the name of my next band if I should ever have the time and/or energy and partners to pull it off.

 

(that's "gee ay pee from the gee oh eff and the el jay see")

 

That’s “grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” for those playing at home.

 

It’s a common greeting used by Paul in many of his letters to the churches he loved.

 

OK, so I’m probably not going to start a band anytime soon and if I did, it probably would not actually be called GAP from GOF and the LJC, but I want some excuse to try and make this “a thing” in Christian circles.

 

I’d like to have a hand in being a one man meme factory.

 

How do all these things take flight in the first place?

 

Somebody had to be the first to type NBD to which the recipient responded, “huh?”

 

We all know now that it’s "no big deal," but we didn’t back then.

Additionally, there is a sweet irony in abbreviating no big deal in ALL CAPS! (if it's such a little deal then why use such large letters to communicate it?)

 

Maybe someday everyone will know that GAP from GOF and the LJC is “a thing” as well.

 

Maybe not.

 

Either way, if I type that again on here, that’s what I mean by it.

 

Got it?

 

Good!

imagine leviathan's "it's time"

Jon Acuff’s guest poster inspired me to concoct this little ditty.

You’re welcome.

“It’s Time”

~Imagine Leviathans

So this is how I smell (PS 38:5)

And I am left to tell

“The only path to heaven runs through nails and shredded veils!” (JN 14:6)

Right to the Cross (1 COR 15:3-8)

Don't look back (LK 9:62)

Tearing my rags (IS 64:6) and giving the academies (PHP 3:8) a rain check

I don't ever wanna let You down

I don't ever wanna leave, I’m found.

'Cause after all

The Savior ever seeks His bride (REV 21:2)

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
I must repent of who I am (ROM 7:24-25)

All verses cited from ESV (Elect Standard Version for those playing at home)

don't mope

Don't mope around.

Don't moped around either.

More like slowped.

And in Iowa, you would have to, of course, bust out the snowped.

But I digress...

i got 99 problems, but a DRIP ain't one

Proverbs 27:15

A continual dripping on a rainy day
and a quarrelsome wife are alike
