help, I'm stuck!

this batdog has issues!

Crazy busy week coming up!

We have a few fun trips with the teen this week on top of all my regular work. I have 3 messages to work on for this week alone and I am sure there is going to be a staph-meeting in there somewhere.

Most of it will be fun but it will be a busy one so I will stop blogging and get back to work.

p.s. please pray for a friend that is telling his church that he is called to plant a church. That they will be kingdom focused and even support him in this.

JUST TELL ME WHAT THE STUPID BOOK IS ABOUT!!!

I have determined that buying books is strictly for people who know what books they want to buy! I don't give a rip (whatever that means!) about who forwarded your book I just want to know what the book is about. Don't give me a bunch of hoop-la about how much impact this book made on you or your team, don't tell me how this is the best, most helpful book you have ever read, JUST TELL ME WHAT THE STUPID BOOK IS ABOUT!

I was at Barnes and Nobles with my wonderful wife. I decided I needed something new to read so I started browsing. I would see an interesting title (which rarely gives you any idea what the book is about) and I would turn it over to get, what I thought, the description of the books contents. Only to find a whole back cover filled with something like this:

"_____ ______ is a seasoned minister, writer, and bloger, she has the talent, she has the message"

or

"an instant classic, _______ ______ has used a disarmingly direct, totally honest approach to make something perfectly clear."

and

"I read ____ _____ for comfort and pleasure many years ago, and a glance into the books revives my old admiration."

and one more

"A must read. it is inspirational, it is practical, and it has the potential to revolutionize."

But none of them told me what the book is about. This burns my bubble. Just spill the beans people! If you want me to buy your book, tell me what is in the book!

Can you imagine if other stuff, like food, was sold this way? "Man, I don't have a clue what this is but a bunch of people on the back of the box sure like it!"

AND while I am complaining: if you can say it in 30 pages.......DON'T USE 200 PAGES TO SAY IT! My time is valuable, I don't read to relax, I read to learn. Reading is work for some of us so please point me to the "efficient book section" and I will buy a book and be on my way.

"never before has a post been so on track and meaningful, a must read." Joe D.K. Diddely

"this post is an all time truth, it changed the way I think" Dr. Move Ondown

"I've never read something so clear and powerful, this blog post changed my perspective on everything" -- Dr. Mr. Ay Thin Kiknowitall

hummm

I gotta get me one of these!

nutti'n cute about it!

So for some unknown reason I got Sheila a "puppy" for her Birthday. Now puppies are normally cute. Well not this one! I am not one who goes by default, something is not cute just because it is tiny! You have to earn the right to be cute! And looking like some kind of rat/bat crossbred doesn't count as cute. But fret not, most un-cute babies grow up to be the prettiest adults so there is hope here. But for now: cute it is not! Judge for yourself:

the ears are simi-transparent, what the heck are those gray spots over the eyes? This thing is a destructive freak of nature!

Cute is NOT contagious either: the insertion of a cute stuffed animal dose not cute make!!!

ok rat/bat fetus looking thing!

I will put up with this mess of a puppy ONLY because I love my wife!
