"Christianity has not so much been tried and found wanting,
as it has been found difficult and left untried."

The Way It Is Supposed To Be...

Listen well, for I shall tell you of wonderful news...It was a high-scoring game...exciting...filled with all the twists...and I was there. But the end speaks well for the future of Colorado football: 65 - 51, with the mighty Buffaloes standing victoriously upon the vanquished necks of the Boys of Corn. We're going bowling, baby, while the Corneaters stay home for the holidays. Man, I hate Nebraska! Ralphie rules. This is the way it is supposed to be...

Ginormous Inflatable Scooby-doo

As I sit here watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, I can't believe how lame we are sometimes. Is it really all about a giant inflatable Scooby-doo and every marketer in the book trying to get us to spend our money on their products? In a throwback to traditional stuff, they even had some "pilgrims" dressed up in the garb we think they looked like. Then, we've been assailed with Dolly Parton and some tights-wearing, roller-skate moving people acting out the "Xanadu" show. Weird. What's up with all this? Where has the original reflection gone, the thankfulness presented by people to God for his goodness in their lives? What a shame to lose this:

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
His love endures forever...
"What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me?"
Psalm 116:12
May God continue to bless you and sustain you through this coming year. Give thanks where it is due...
Lookin' Up,
Pastarod

On Burritos...

I think one of the best lunches around Spokane is the Tecate Grill's Colorado Steak Burrito. For $6.99 one can sit down to all-you-can-eat chips and dip, followed by a caliente plate carrying a rockin' good delight of Mexican carne goodness. Couple it with a Coke or Pepsi with lots of fresh lime and I'm fairly convinced you will experience a truly surreal culinary experience. Try it. Better yet, call me to join you, and we'll try it together. Especially if you pay. Could there actually be a better way to spend your lunch?
