Mr. Grinch


It's so hard to do your christmas shopping when everybody else is doing it with you. I mean, why the rush? I can't really put my finger to why these folks decide on the very last minute to get in their cars to the nearest mall. Not to mention the hassle you have to go through because by some stroke of genius, they decide to bring their rowdy kids along.

I love kids, I think they are the best. But in a mall with thousands of people and in the heat of the Christmas decision making, pushing and shoving, kids are useless. They do nothing but worry you and test your patience. Although I might understand why you would want to have your kids along; because it's Christmas and family bonding and all that. But seriously, if your kid can't behave themselves in a way that wouldn't make other people frown on your parenting skills, why tag them along?

Wouldn't it be more efficient for these people to just go by two's or something; all you really need when your shopping is a list and somebody to concur with your choices. I mean, it would boost your party's maneuverability and lessen the cost you might have to shed out for food and transportation, right?

I think somebody should say something, or formalize an etiquette on Christmas shopping to standardize everything. That way, we can all enjoy the Christmas season without the occasional "I'm sorry for brushing against your left boob but it was quite lovely" to the ever present "where the fuck is so-and-so?"

Seriously, do ME a solid.

The Dove That Was Slain

Recently, an image has been circulating online of a dove tied and used as a prop during an Easter service. The public reaction has been swift, with many expressing deep outrage over the distress and injustice inflicted on a helpless, innocent creature. If you felt a pang of anger or sorrow seeing that image, your reaction is deeply human—and biblically grounded. Proverbs 12:10 tells us,  "The righteous care for the needs of their animals." We are hardwired to recoil when innocence is subjected to suffering. But as we process this outrage, especially in the wake of Easter, there is a profound biblical parallel we must not miss. For centuries under the Old Covenant, the sacrifice of innocent animals—including doves—was not an accident; it was a requirement. Leviticus 5 outlines how those who could not afford a lamb were to bring two doves to the altar to make atonement for their sins.  The unblemished animal bore the cost of human rebellion. The sight of an innocent creature l...

Psalms: The Glorious Worthiness of Our God

In a world constantly clamoring for our attention, where our focus can so easily drift to ourselves and our immediate circumstances, the Scriptures call us to a higher and more satisfying pursuit: reflecting on the absolute worthiness of God. True worship, both private and corporate, begins not with what we feel or what we need, but with who God is. Today, we turn our hearts and minds to two powerful psalms that illuminate God's character and His inherent right to all praise. Scriptural Illumination: Our passages for today are Psalm 100:4 and Psalm 96:4-9 (ESV) . Psalm 100:4 (ESV): "Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!" This verse, set within a psalm that is a joyful call to worship, speaks to the very posture we are to adopt when approaching God. The imagery of "gates" and "courts" evokes the temple, the place of God's manifest presence. To enter with "thanksgiving" and ...
