Razor...

About three or four years ago I made a declaration that I have stood by loyally, until now. And that statement was this: The Gilette Mach 3 is the greatest invention of mankind since the Rubiks Cube.

Well, my friends, the people of Gilette are at it again, and my statement will need to be modified a bit: The Gilette Mach 3 Power is the greatest invention of mankind since the Gilette Mach 3 and the Gilette Mach 3 Turbo. I needed razor refills, went to Wal Mart on my way back from eating a snow cone, and what did my unsuspecting eyes see but a new Mach 3 on the shelves. I decided to shower tonight instead of in the morning just so I could test it out. And right now my face is as smooth as any other surface people consider smooth.

I knew you would want to hear that.

Day...

It was a pretty uneventful day. I put 75% off stickers on books and then I, wait, no, that's really all I did. It was redundantly fun

Yesterday...

I made a comment yesterday about Baylor girls...Bear Trail...Eating Disorder insinuations... Daddy's money, etc. If that offended you I apologize. It's no secret that there are bitter feelings toward Waco's institution of higher learning, and I tend to take it out on the easiest targets. So please keep running and accept my apologies. And one more thing... Austin Avenue is a good place to run as well. Just leave me your schedule.

God in the Music...

In a couple of weeks I get to give the sermon in our God in the Music series. I'm considering using the video for Mindy Smith's "Come to Jesus." Check it out here and tell me what you think. Other options are songs by Sarah McLachlan, Emmylou Harris, or Bruce Springsteen.

How to be a Christian...

I watched the final episode of The Surreal Life 2 this evening. Let me just say that I think Tammy Faye (Bakker) Messner provided a great example of how Christians should treat those outside of the church. If you haven't seen it, check it out the next time it's on VH1. Try to get past the crying and the makeup and the obnoxious voice, and notice how she genuinely grows to love the people in the house (actors, former rap stars, a porn star) sans an agenda of any kind. It's really a thing of beauty.

Goodnight...

I'm off to bed. I think Brad Paisley's "Mud on the Tires" cd will be what I put in my headphones to put me to sleep.

Blessings.
