Observation #14

At some point in my Facebook life, I decided that as a matter of principle, I would not unfriend (or is it defriend?) anyone. This is a decision that I regret.

Daily.

Observation #13

As the test I took just proved, studying Greek at 4:00 in the morning while holding a screaming infant might be a less-than-ideal situation for maximized retention.

Observation #12

It’s often said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions—I’ve always thought it would make more sense if the road to hell was paved with blazing fire bricks (or something along those lines).

Observation #11

It’s been said that the church is a hospital for sinners, and I think that is absolutely true. At the same time, the cure of the Great Physician is fundamentally for those who want to be healed, not for those who think they are just fine the way they are.

To put it another way, it’s hard to deal with your problem until you admit that you have one.

Observation #10

Theological study becomes considerably more confusing if you get Arians mixed up with Aryans.

Observation #9

Few events illustrate the sinful excess of American culture like a televised eating contest where the winner consumes 54 hot dogs in ten minutes and wins $20,000 for doing so.

Observation #8

Any worthwhile accomplishment in life requires a great deal of effort.

Observation #7

I’m not sure what Bill Watterson is doing these days, but unless he’s working on a cure for cancer, it’s not as worthwhile as what he used to do.

Observation #6

In a pennant race, there’s a fine line between reeling someone in and just reeling.

Observation #5

If America really does run on Dunkin’, that would go a long way toward explaining our considerable obesity and heart disease problems.

Observation #4

Twitter is stupid. Unless you’re Han Solo, your life probably isn’t so interesting that I need an update on it every 30 minutes or so.

Observation #3

If Jesus “went about doing good” (Acts 10.38), He probably wants more from me than just holding the right positions on doctrinal issues.

Observation #2

On infomercials, when companies boast about the “space age technology” of a given product, aren’t they really only claiming that they have a technology that was possibly developed as many as 50 years ago?

An Observation

I think that one of the smartest and dumbest things that people do is to assume that others will react to a certain situation the same way they do.
