- You think the old saying “cleanliness is next to godliness” is actually a verse in the Bible.
- The preacher announces the sermon is from Genesis and you have to check the table of contents.
- You think Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego are 3 of the 31 ice cream flavors at Baskin Robins.
- You’re just sure that “Do not dance” and “Do not gamble” are two of the ten commandments.
- You notice that your bible that you’ve had for the past twenty years still feels and smells new.
- You think Hercules was an Old Testament judge.
- You believe absolutely everything that the newspaper and television says, but you question the truthfulness and reliability of the Bible.
- You say, “So that’s where it’s been,” when your discover your bible in the same box as your old high school year books.
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. ~ 2 Timothy 2:15

I am a Christian husband and father, who moonlights as the minister for the church of Christ in Childress, Texas. My wife Lea and I have been married for 23 years. We are doing our best to raise our 4 boys, who are all growing up way too fast.
Ha ha ha….this is awesome!! And so true!I especially like #9, some of my kids are struggling with that. Are the things you post on your website the same as your Sunday sermons? Because I’ve seen several comments about how good your Sunday meetings are.

Crazy to see that today is music…I was on the laptop last night researching songs for the ceremony! I’ve got them all but for the processional which I’m leaning towards if you run by the boxer rebellion. We arent keen for a traditional’ song but my fiance is so blase about this part…any ideas out there?
How about this one, you look in your Bible and see a bulletin or a note you lost dated 6 years ago? I haven’t done that but know people who have.
