Might have to read it twice – maybe three times. In the last series before the All Star break the Atlanta Braves with a record of 59-27 scored 2 runs while Tampa Bay, with a record of 57-34, scored 1. Not sure about ACLS but someone was obviously very excited (and maybe a little inebriated).

I’m stealing this meme – Lots of people say it but they are really just using the wrong words. Every social media post has a share button. Sharing a meme doesn’t take it away from the one that posted it, it just becomes visible to more people. Sharing the Gospel doesn’t reduce the amount of Gospel that exists. The more of us that share the more people get a chance to hear and receive. (Anything could be a sermon illustration, feel free to share this one.)

Sometimes you see things in the Deja Vu and think “Why is this not in a Happy Monday post?” The joke above is kind of wordy. It’s too much to read first thing on a Monday morning, especially if you haven’t finished – possibly haven’t started – your first cup of coffee.
Continue readingThere was no Deja Vu last week and this post is already late but I’m gonna keep trying. Maybe I should take the summer off and regroup but I know if I stop I will never start again. We’re gonna push through it so here we go.
Online quiz is sus – I clicked on one of those stupid quizzes that show up in Facebook newsfeeds. It was Bible trivia and not asking for my pet’s name or the street I grew up on. (If you don’t know why you should not respond to those kinds of questions, ask me in the comments.) I think I scored 37 correct out of 40. One question I legit got wrong; looked it up, I was mistaken. One question I didn’t like the answers so I would deem that question and answer confusing. Then there’s the question about plagues in Egypt. The correct answer is 10. I picked C: 10. According to the graphic above, C is wrong and the correct answer is D. Then the explanation goes into why 10 is correct. And that’s why I got 37 responses correct and not 38.

How many (fill in the blank) does it take? It’s an old gag but sometimes a lot of thought goes into these. It’s funny and features doggos, why here and not Happy Monday? It’s simply too much reading. Nobody’s ready for that on Monday morning.

Nope vs Open – There was no Satur-deja Vu post last week. I put in extra hours and effort for about four days in a row, Thursday through Sunday, and it really took a toll on me. It also took more days to bounce back than I expected. So last week I was like NOPE NOPE NOPE when it came to writing or adding anything else but today we’re OPEN OPEN OPEN. I found a sign on the internet that works for both.

Thursday was the National Day of Prayer in the US and I wrote a post about all of the day’s activities that I took part in.

I mentioned the National Day of Prayer last week and even included a link to the National Day of Prayer Task Force website. Shown above is the poster for one of two events I will be attending. The Rome Area Prayer Breakfast, which I think I mentioned, has invited Lee Strobel to speak this year. The Advent Health prayer event will have several individuals from the community offer specific prayers for ministers, educatators, government officials, etc then a corporate prayer time. Chances are there is an event in your area; check with your church leaders and extend your search to include newspaper and radio (and their respective online presence) if necessary.

Jason Britt at Calhoun FBC – There are a couple of reasons that I blog. Reaching a larger audience than I would be able to person is a big part of it. I’ve made blog friends in Canada, Israel and Australia and engaged many others in discussion and debate. Blogging also serves my need to record and catalogue things. Going through the archives and reading old posts gives me perspective of my own spiritual journey. I’m reaching that age where if I don’t write it down it didn’t happen, or in some cases will not happen.

France is bacon – This was meant to be in last week’s post and I was disappointed later to see that I missed it somehow. In this case he only understood after seeing Francis Bacon in writing but there are often contestants on Jeopardy that pronounce a response oddly because they read a lot but may never have heard a word out loud. They allow it because there is nothing wrong with reading lots of books. Some people favor visual learning styles, others auditory, but we cannot discount the experience of hands on learning. Tactile sensation, spatial relationships; we take in the world through a variety of senses and they work well together.
