Huh!?!

This is perhaps the oddest, weirdest commercial I have EVER seen.

A word from the Author

I had some problems with Blogger, all appears fixed although it appears that all comments may be lost.
Oh well... (sigh) I guess we get to start again.

All manner of whim and curiosity

This is the New Testament reading for today:

2 Tim 4, 1-8.I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingly power: proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching. For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths.
But you, be self-possessed in all circumstances; put up with hardship; perform the work of an evangelist; fulfill your ministry. For I am already being poured out like a libation, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith. From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but to all who have longed for his appearance.

The portion in bold struck me as pertinent for this age. While I am certain that other times saw people following all likes of false doctrines ours is certainly characterized by people chasing whims and fads like children on a summer night chasing fireflies.

Home sick and sick of it.

Went to work yesterday feeling fine, went through the morning feeling fine, went to lunch feeling fine, had a tenderloin felt fine. Walking back to the office I started feeling bleh with that odd cloudy, cottony disconnected feeling you get shortly before you get sick and by 3pm I was feelin poorly. Now I am apparently a participant in the late spring, Hoosier snot-fest, amateur division, 235# weight class.
I HATE being sick.
