The Price of Desire

This chair was auctioned off this week and someone paid $28.3 million dollars for it.
Can you imagine the scene when this person stands before the Creator on that last day and has to give an account for the riches that they were blessed with?

$28 million dollars. The Price of Desire indeed.
God have mercy on our souls.

Geek Stuff

Geeksugar has gathered together seven memory-enhancing ways to take advantage of your camera phone.

* Parking lots at malls, airports, and stadiums continue to grow, so save yourself the trouble of trying to remember where your car is and take a picture of the row number.

* Before traveling, take a picture of everything in your suitcase. It takes only a moment, and you'll be glad you've got the documentation in the event your luggage disappears during transit.

* Drinking an excellent bottle of wine, but worried you won't remember it in the morning? Snap a shot of the label, and you'll be able to pick up another bottle the next time you're browsing the wine aisle.

* Driving around in a city you've never been to? After parking, take a picture of the closest street signs, and you should be able to find your way back without a problem.

My G1 is great but it has a lousy camera.

Too Funny

Worst Pun Ever



Well, this one could be worse:

Mahatma Ghandi walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that his feet became quite thick and hard. He also was quite a spiritual person. Even when he was not on a hunger strike, he did not eat much and became quite thin and frail. Furthermore, due to his diet, he wound up with very bad breath. He was therefore:

A super calloused fragile mystic expelling halitosis.

Dentist Visit

Blue Eyes, like the kid in the video, does laughing gas.

I'll stick with the novocaine.

This is from the dad:

This is my 7 year old son who had an extra tooth removed last summer, 2008.

He was so out of it after, I had to carry him out of the office. The staff was laughing and I had tears it was so funny.

He is doing fine now and the teeth are great.

Through A Dirty Glass

I was coming home on my motorcycle from a consulting job one day a few months ago.
I had left my sunglasses behind so I had to pull down my helmet shield to protect my eyes.

Now I've been riding for almost 5 years and my helmet shield has taken a beating.
Between the scratches and the smashed and baked bugs, I can hardly see out.
Usually it's not a problem because I wear sunglasses or sometimes when it's too cold I'll pull it down.

I was still a few miles from home when I just couldn't take the haziness anymore.
I reached up and pulled the shield back and the clarity startled me.
Everything was so crystal clear!
It was a clear day. The sun was out. The sky was blue.
The wind was in my face (and you know how I feel about that).

Immediately this verse came to mind:

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

As I've mentioned before, I am a blessed pilgrim.
I've never had to deal with major tragedy.
I think of my friends in Georgia and in Longwood who had to deal with the loss of a young son and my heart aches.
I think of my friend Ken who recently ended his pilgrimage and his battle with cancer.
They're all home now rejoicing with their Creator.

My best friend is thinking of being a foster parent to one of his son's friends.
His father abandoned them when he was two and his mother then abandoned the boy when he was 13.

You see things like this and you have so many questions.
So much pain, so much suffering.

We can take comfort in knowing that one day the shield will be pulled back and many of our questions will be answered.
Many of the things we don't understand will be made clear.
Crystal clear.
