Cartoon of a birdhouse and a birdhouse-church.
When I was a kid, my neighbors had a “condo” birdhouse. I watched that thing closely. I wondered if birds actually used it, and if so, did they play nice?
As hard as a tried, I never saw any birds go in to the house. Maybe they needed their privacy and waited until the nosy kid left the backyard.
That got me wondering what a whole birdhouse community would look like. Here’s the start of one right now.
I keep hearing all the talk about eating a healthy diet. They must assault you with all this information when you reach middle age.
All the food in the past must have been healthier, right? It wasn’t processed. So…. if you’re feeding five thousand, you want the best in healthy fare.
It’s school time again! The running, yelling and pushing abounds on the playgrounds and the classrooms. I was a quiet kid, so I can imagine wanting a little bit of that quiet reflection. Heaven knows I certainly did a lot of praying in school.
“Dear God, please let their be something new for lunch. Please let their be a place for me at kickball. And Please help that one girl not to have cooties!”
I love working with kids at my church. I pray I won’t get too old to act silly in Sunday school, play a little Twister and drink red punch.
I’ve seen older people that just love kids and a few who… well, let’s just say life has been tough on them and they are no longer user friendly to babies.
Let’s keep the faith and stay young, if only young at heart.
“The company wanted to save money so they hired a new I.T. consulting firm.”
I heard the other day of a consultant who’s primary task was to keep himself working with a client. He didn’t want to do anything that would put him out of work so he kept doing scrappy little pieces of work to look like he was bein successful, yet he was ensuring he wasn’t reaching the ultimate goal.
I have also seen a few luddite I.T. guys before. Can’t say I blame them. A new technology comes along and it’s just new enough to mess up the whole system when implemented. There is nothing like starting from scratch just when you have all the computers talking nice to each other!
