Today’s random list

a. We fertilized the yard Friday evening. I say we – I mean Laurie. 🙂
b. Mowed, edged and watered the lawn yesterday.
c. Dwight Kurt Schrute is the featured Office character for June on my wall calendar.
d. “Whenever I’m about to do something, I think, ‘would an idiot do that?’ And if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight K Schrute
e. Pagan Christianity? is a real eye opening book.
f. Did you know, realize that tithing is never mentioned or commanded in the New Testament?
g. You never find first-century Christians tithing.
h. In truth (according to Frank Viola and George Barna), biblical tithing (Lev. 27:30-33, Num. 18:21-31, Deut. 14:22-27, Deut. 14:28-29, Deut. 26:12-13) was commanded to Israel and was actually 23.3 percent – not 10 percent.
i. First-century Christians simply gave what they could in order to benefit the poor, the fatherless, the widows, the sick, the prisoners and strangers.
j. “Discovered” a new word Saturday morning at breakfast :: heritickle adv. pronounced: hair-i-tick-al meaning: 1. an idea that goes against traditional doctrine or beliefs but sounds so good to the ears and soul. example: “Brian preached a heritickle sermon yesterday morning.” 2. a doctrinal idea or theology that makes you laugh out loud. note: spelling may very from person to person, but the primary definition and pronunciation remains the same. variations include: haritickle, harry-tickle and hiaritiacle.
k. It’s really humid out today and at 8:17 a.m. I already have the sleeves rolled up on my shirt. Do I really need to be wearing long sleeved shirts to work?
l. I’m planning to attend Theology Live tonight – wondering if anyone will join me.
