Great Preachers

I was talking to Bro. Valdez and Johnny Shaver after church tonight, actually last night since it is 12:28 a.m. on Monday.  Bro. Valdez asked me what classes I was taking in summer school and that was when it hit me what two classes I was taking…Great Preachers and Minor Prophets.  I think more people have heard what the Minor Prophets have said than what any Great Preacher may have said though.  Anyways, for the second week of school Johnny and I had to turn in two 10 page reports for Great Preachers class.  After that, one ten page report a week seems completely doable.  Until next time…

If you can’t stand the heat…

…stay out of the kitchen!  Some of us should stay out anyway.  I tried my hand at making some chicken alfredo.  It wasn’t a total disaster, however if you looked at the kitchen afterwards it might have looked like it.  First, I battered and fried the chicken.  Next I boiled the noodles.  Lastly, I tried making the sauce.   Too much pepper, not enough parmesean.  Mom liked it, no one else said anything else about it.  Oh yeah, the whole meal cost less than 15 bucks, and there is plenty more for another meal or maybe even two.  Needless to say, I won’t be starting a culinary school anytime soon, as if there aren’t enough of those around anyways.

Musing…

Sitting on lunch break by myself (that is, no Christian co-workers on break), I realized that the conversation around me was quite disturbing.  People were blurting out four letter words about every five seconds or more frequently than that.  Then these thoughts came to my mind (realize, I didn’t have a concordance to look up the verses I was looking for at the time):

1. As little as 15 years ago, when people would say, “Oh my G–!”  They would normally notice that there was a Christian present and profusely apologize.

2. People still do apologize to me when they some of those “more vile” for letter words. 

The point being made is this…

Morality somewhere along the way in the last 15 years or so (an age that I can notice, not what someone has told me) has slipped away.  Some principles in the Bible come to mind even though the exact verses don’t.  Without the law, people don’t realize wrong.  When the law is there they realize it.  Whose fault is it that people don’t even realize it when they take God’s name in vain?  Not being a big advocate of lifestyle evangelism alone, has your testimony proven anything otherwise?  Eh…you didn’t have to read this, I just thought about the sad situation my workplace is in, and thought about whose fault it really is.
