My Half of Two Cents: Random Thoughts From a Real Life Dummy



Change: Change is hard because it’s made of metal. Oh, the other kind of change is hard too.



Fundamentalism: Condemning people with scripture is probably not a good idea unless your name is Isaiah, Paul, or Jesus. And if your name is Isaiah, Paul, or Jesus I was talking about someone else.


Football: Thank you for existing and being the only good American sport left. And by “good American sport” I meant “sport”.




Liberal Theology: If your spiritual truth finds its value primarily in metaphor that is ravenously devoid of absolutes then thanks for saving the planet and feeding poor people.

Fantasy

Football: Fantasy Football is my new algebra. I try it again each year and never quite get it. Fail.



Tiger Woods: Congratulations on proving right everything the book of Proverbs says.



Preaching: That burdensome joy! You demand my all, get less than I have to give and yet out produce even more than you demanded.



Marriage: Isn’t it fitting that something so good and worth it would be so damn hard? And yet we are surprised by this.



Church: If it’s a drag then I apologize for the people like me who have not tended her well.



Fatherhood: If I get all else wrong, Lord, let it not be this.



Horror Movies: Since when did you start to be PG 13? Shame on you, jerk.



Excellence: Pursue it. But by all means, don’t achieve it on your own behalf. That’s just arrogance.


Mediocrity: If you are mediocre at something you enjoy- then enjoy it. Just don’t do it publically. Your
passion does not upgrade your mediocrity.


That's all folks!

  1. The mediocrity comment is ironic with the typo.

  2. I was thinking the same thing. Scott, you shouldn't spell in public if you want to take your own advice. ;)
