Another exercise in chance & providence, I again closed my eyes, opened my Bible, and pointed to a verse. The result:
By mere words a servant is not disciplined, for though he understands, he will not respond. Proverbs 29:19
Do you know anyone like this? They go to work, but they just don’t give it their all. They make mistakes, and when their masters (today we call this “management”) reprove them, their behavior does not change. “In one ear and out the other,” we may say. [click to continue...]

I apologize — work has been occupying a great deal of my energy this past week, and I haven’t been able to devote much thought into enriching the blogosphere with scriptural insights and general witticism. Maybe soon. Maybe later. I don’t know.
Regardless of that, though, I have been keeping up on reading others’ blogs (’cause others rock!), and here are some links for you to enjoy the same, if you wish:
- Third Annual Reminder: Boycott “Turkey Day” — No, this isn’t a call to boycott Thanksgiving; rather, it is a plea to Christians to avoid calling it “Turkey Day” and to embrace thankfulness as a necessary and overflowing part of life. If anything, visit for the great Spurgeon quote on ungratefulness!
- Why Not Speed? (pt. 2) — Ms. Kiley gives her second and third reasons for obedience to the speed limit laws, and I find them to be good insights which aren’t often expressed nowadays, which is a shame. Watching that speedometer is definitely something I need more often to do…
- The Theology of Employment — Work is a theological issue, and it has been since the beginning of man’s time on Earth. Joshua Hitchcock shares with us from the Scriptures why it is. Never forget 2 Thessalonians 3:10; if men are able to work but are unwilling to, they do not deserve to eat. Read through the comments as well for more insights; find out why you can and should be joyful (and unceasingly thankful) for your job!
- I’ll conclude with a bit of shamelessness… My loverly wife has nominated my blog for “Best Religion Blog” in the Bloggers’ Choice Awards; would you mind taking a moment and voting for me? I would really appreciate it! And while you’re at it, stop on over at my wife’s site and then vote for her in the Best Photography Blog category!

Alicia caught my friends & I showing off our slacker-ish ways today at work.
And no, I wasn’t using the motorized cart to get around the store; a customer was driving it through my department, and its battery started to die. It worked long enough for me to drive it half way across the store, but only if I just barely pressed on the accelerator.
But we all were in pajama pants, and you can sorta tell I didn’t even comb my hair.
Work’s never been more comfortable.
There was actually another guy who wore the same shirt, but he was at lunch when these pics were taken. And he was in jeans, not pajama bottoms. So much a slacker, he didn’t put together the costume completely! Good times, good times.
Oh, and when you visit Alicia’s site, be sure to notice it’s her all new blog. Hopefully we’ll be seeing lots of photography there — what she has already is great!
