Dude #1: It’s not that I have a moral objection to the death penalty. I just don’t think it should be the government making the decision.
Dude #2: Would you prefer an angry mob?–122nd & Amsterdam

Romans 4:24-25
God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.

24 at Work

From Aziz Ansari, via Aaron.
7 Ways to Use the Lessons of ’24′ at Work.
1. If your boss catches you shooting heroin in your office, just say its part of your cover. If he says, “What cover?” Yell “Federal Agent!” and tackle the crap out of him.
2. If you are sleeping with a beautiful European woman, be careful – she is probably a terrorist/assassin that is using you to get information to kill her next target. Continue sleeping with her, you may be able to uncover valuable information that could stop the assassination from happening!
3. Sometimes you have to kidnap your co-workers kids to get stuff done -
Lazy Co-worker: “Look Aziz, I can’t get the report done by Tuesday.”
Me: “Oh really? Well my men* are holding your children.”
Lazy Co-Worker: “OKAY! I’ll have it on your desk first thing!!”
*This reminds me, you should probably hire “some men,” they are quite a useful asset. You can find great ones on Craigslist for an affordable rate.
4. If you get arrested, no matter how large or small the crime, just pretend like you have some valuable information and agree to give it up only under the condition you are given full immunity signed by the President. Don’t worry they’ll get him on the phone.
5. Don’t be afraid to go rogue – if you think your bosses orders don’t make any sense, ignore them and obey your own. In the end, your actions will be proven correct and you’ll be praised for having the balls to break protocol. And not only that, at some point you’ll get to steal a co-workers car!
6. If your bosses orders REALLY seem ridiculous, then chances are he’s working for the enemy and your workplace has been compromised. This is when you want to inform everyone in the office that you are carrying a loaded gun. You may also want to bring “your men” into the situation at this point.
7. Is there a secure room in your office that you want to access, but can’t? Find someone who does have access and cut off their thumb. (Note: Only use this tactic when the room in question is locked by a thumb scan. Actually do it anyway, its good to practice.)

From LarkNews.com:
Friends not friends forever, even if the Lord’s the Lord of them, former pals say
SALEM, Mass. — Two former “best buddies” from Saratoga Nazarene Church say they learned the hard way that a lifetime is too long to live as friends, despite the claims of a popular Christian song.
Theresa and Dalia, both 13, became best friends the day they met in third grade. They soon realized they were the only serious Christians in the school, and both had major crushes on Michael W. Smith.
“We used to bounce on my bed using hairbrushes as microphones and singing ‘Friends’ to each other,” says Theresa. “I’d sing Amy Grant’s part and she’d sing Michael W. Smith’s part. Then we’d laugh and roll around. We knew our friendship was forever, like the song said.”
But at the end of eighth grade, things hit a rough patch. Dalia quit wearing her Amy Grant Hearts in Motion Concert Tour T-shirt to school on Fridays, as she and Theresa had done for years.
“That felt like betrayal,” Theresa said. “I was totally alone.”
Then both girls developed a crush on the same boy, Brad Loudermilk, the only decent-looking Christian in the school. Out of spite, Dalia switched her crush to a non-Christian guy, and the friendship with Theresa was effectively severed.
Theresa went home after school and ripped the Michael W. Smith poster from her wall, then crumpled onto her bed and sobbed.
“I guess friends will say never and the welcome does end,” she said bitterly.

Here’s a quote from the last weekend’s One service. Someone emailed me and wanted it, so I thought I’d post it here:
“Christianity is always just one generation away from extinction. If we fail to reproduce ourselves and pass the torch of life into the hands of the next generation, Christianity will be over in just one generation. Yet because of the power of multiplication, we are also one generation away from worldwide fulfillment of the Great Commission. The choice is ours.”

Yesterday I hit the bike trail for the first time this year. It was awesome. Some of the trails are still flooded out, but it was worth it.
I like to listen to music to help set my pedaling cadance so I thought I would open myself up to ridicule by sharing my first riding playlist with you. Enjoy.

“Persons in the Victorian era had a morbid fascination with death, but never spoke of sex, while in our contemporary generation obsessed with sex, death has become the great unmentionable.”
