So my daughter, Ashlyn, thought it would be fun to paint a pretty picture on our sliding glass door with her raspberry sherbet ice cream cone. Our Golden Retriever dog, Cheddar, thought it would be fun to use her “art” to broaden his rather limited culinary experience. I won’t tell you what my daughter does with her ice cream after smothering it in Dog saliva and sliding glass door grime. You’ll have to watch the video for that…

I have to confess that I have a font addiction—I have over 2,000 fonts installed on my Macbook (that felt good to get off my hairless chest). But I have to admit, I’ve never seen this font:

Is that wrong? LOL

. . . you probably should not listen to this one. (Though I’ll admit that I laughed pretty hard)

Tony Jones’ first book signing took place at his local Barnes & Noble.

Unfortunately, due to the cold winter, slow book sales and only two people showing up (his wife and Doug), Tony was forced to take desperate measures to provide for his family (notice his hand in his pocket and the “indiscreet” pocket-bulge in the above photo?). After holding-up B&N for a mere $6.32, Tony was arrested immediately after leaving the store at 2:17 a.m.

After an intense 6-hour interrogation the charges for armed robbery were dropped. However, after reviewing his new book, The New Christians, Tony is now facing new charges for heresy. Fortunately, he was released on bail for $425,000 (thanks Doug!).  His court hearing is set for March 20, 2008 where he will face a possible triple-life sentence.

If you’re reading this Tony, you’re in our prayers!

NOTE: None of these events (except the book signing) actually happened….I think.

And a special shout out to all the 32 year-olds born on this day: Happy Birthday—you’re now 8 years old! (by the way, if you’re reading this, you’re late for school…hehehe).

The Bible is incomplete. It is. That’s not bad. Just the limits of putting anything to written form. Even John says, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” Jesus did MANY other things that were not written down. I wish they had written down a few more things.

The shortest verse in the Bible is “Jesus wept.” I like it because it show Jesus’ heart and how he hurt when a friend of his died. I wish there was one more like it. I wish the gospel writers would have included the fact that Jesus laughed. I wish I could read, “John leaned over and told Jesus a joke. Jesus belly-laughed hysterically.” I am sure they shared these type of moments. I mean you get 13 guys together for three years and there is going to be a large chunk of humor happening. To included Jesus laughing would have, for me, made the Bible a bit more complete and would have driven a substantial nail into the fact that Jesus was human––a flesh and bone guy who laughed and burped and passed gas and cried––as well as divine. Which makes me wonder if even the divine would do such things? (Minus, perhaps, the middle two).
