Elisebeth

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010


Elisebeth liked me...

...but I did not like Elisebeth.

I would climb a tree.
So Elisebeth would climb after me...singing.
(Trying to sing a love song...or something like that.)

I would climb down the tree.

During the olympics
we watched a male gymnast do the "Iron Cross".
Elisebeth exclaimed: "I CAN DO THE IRON CROSS!!!"

I thought to myself: "I don't think Elisebeth can do the Iron Cross."

One time...when it was snowing outside,
Elisebeth came up to me.
She just wanted to play...
...I just wanted to go inside.

So I just ignored her and walked towards my house.

"BEN!!!" She cried,
"DO YOU NOT LIKE ME!!!???"
I stopped in my tracks.
I felt badly, but I did not want to lie.
So I turned around and yelled:

"Well...

...I don't HATE you!"

I didn't see Elisebeth very much after that.

Archie "Sags"

Monday, February 01th, 2010

One time Archie came to our door...
...and he was "sagging".

We didn't know what sagging was.
We didn't know that sagging was supposed to be cool.
All we knew was that we could see Archie's underwear...in public.

So we said to Archie,

"Archie! We can see your underwear!"

Archie smiled,
"It's called sagging...everybody's doing it...it's very cool."

We just stared at his Hanes peeking through.

Archie smiled.
Then he dropped his pants ALL the way down to his ankles.

"See?" Archie said, "Cool."

I still don't think that was cool.

    Archie and the Fossils

    Friday, January 29th, 2010

    One day in Hawaii, I found a baby Protoceratops fossil under a tree.

    It was real.

    Archie knew it was real...and he wanted it.

    So he said he'd give me this awesome Velociraptor claw he found,if I gave him my fossil.

    Velociraptors always trump Protoceratops...

    So I gave it to him.

    Unfortunately, Archie never could find that Velociraptor claw.

    ...I'm beginning to think that Archie may have tricked me.

      I sure hope Archie reformed before he turned into a grown-up. All this sagging and fossil snatching is a little unnerving.

      (Shnazzy website, by the way--I just rediscovered it. 'Ts nice. :))

      Jesus Without Sin

      Friday, January 22th, 2010

      Here's an extremely powerful message on temptation from Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle. I'm gonna listen to it, again...

        Great point Ross!

        The Good news is that pastor Mark teaches precisely what you're saying: that Satan is *not omnipresent, and that most of us will *not experience direct temptation from Satan himself. He articulates that spiritual reality better in other sermons. I'll have to re-listen to this one again, to hear how he could avoid addressing that issue!

        I guess because Jesus was tempted directly be Satan in that passage, and because our flesh and demons are on Satan's side...he just kinda lumped them all together with Satan in the sermon.

        But definitely a good point, and a point against this otherwise helpful sermon!

        Ben - I agree that this is a powerful message. What I'm not hearing though is that Satan is NOT omnipresent. He is a single being. There are billions of people on the planet. Satan is not responsible for all tempations we face. In fact, many of us will never be tempted by Satan. Our sinful nature is responsible for most of our tempations. That said, we overcome them the same way he outlined. Overall, good message.
