This Is Supposed to Bring Luck?

Here’s a cute picture of my kids from last year. We were in Chicago’s China town getting a bite to eat and came across this statue of Buddha in a storefront doorway.

Those are just some cute kids. I think Buddha may need to invest in a training bra as well.

Bible In A Year – With Christianity.com’s Help

I’ve tried reading through the Bible in a year a number of times and have never done it. I received an e-mail recently that let me know Christianity.com has redeveloped and expanded their Bible Study tools on their website.

After looking at it, it looks really nice and engaging. Being the total geek and Internet user that I am, I’m thinking this may be just what I needed.

I’m starting now, so for those of you out there that care and are interested, help keep me accountable.

That Smells Familiar

I’m at drama practice this afternoon for our Christmas production at church. There is of course a scene with shepherds. One of the little boys playing a shepherd is wearing one of those rough, brown, suede jackets with the wool trim and collar.

I started thinking to myself, that it’s a really good costume, but then a second thought hit me. I’m sure some kind of attire like that was similar to what real shepherds word. Some kind of leather that was probably from sheep and of course the wool as well.

Now we know that sheep are one of the dumbest animals on the planet, but do you think one of them ever said something like, “Have you seen Bob anywhere? That shepherd guy kind of smells like him, but it’s not Bob.”

Of course the shepherd smells like him, he’s wearing Bob’s skin and wool. It seems to me that would be a pretty frightening realization if it ever came to one of the sheep figuring the whole thing out.

Of course, I could be way off.
