These are just a couple of loose thoughts rattling around in my head this morning.1
Item One:
This was brought to my attention twice in one day (Thursday, to be precise). I take that to be a sign from God that I must comment on it. First, I heard it on the radio. As I seldom listen to the radio, that must be significant. Then, I was reminded in print2. Since “in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established,”3 I take this as an “anointing of the spirit”4 to share a “word of knowledge”4. And, today being Saturday, this is as good a time as any to share my wisdom. Prepare for the profundity.
Anyone who can sing “Easy like a Sunday Morning”5 has obviously never gotten eight (or even one or two) children ready for church on Sunday.6
If that requires any explanation, you should perhaps consider a life of celibacy.
Item Two:
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, or perhaps I should say, alleged moon landing. No, I’m kidding; but God, in his loving providence, has given us some entertaining folks who are not. More proof of his providence is that this was captured on video. I’m not saying what Aldrin did was right; I am saying that viewing it provided me with a moment of schadenfreude7 for which I have yet to feel convicted.
Item Three:
I like lists and footnotes.8
1 Yes, you may say it: along with a couple of loose screws.
2 You won’t see it in this link, but the text that came through my Google reader was “Easy like a Sunday Morning.”
3 Matthew 18:16. Yes, I know I am ripping it violently out of context. Believe it or not, I’m only following a precedent I’ve encountered in using this verse.
4 You may insert one of those rolling-eyes emoticons here, if your religion allows.
5 A truly horrible song, second in horribleness only to We’ll Sing in the Sunshine.
6 No, ladies, I don’t have to be a mom to know that.
7 A word that makes me look scholarly.
8 Footnotes add to the illusion of scholarshipliness. Lists give the appearance of orderly, structured thinking.*
* Footnoting a footnote is taking it a bit too far.
