I had a really great post yesterday, but then when I went to save it, it didn't work. That's happened to me all too often, and it takes the steam out of trying to blog regularly. Anyway, two things for you.
1) Last night we had a youth leaders' meeting, which was great. I'm looking forward to working with these folks this year. I think this year has the potential to be really great for the youth group. During the meeting I made a reference to Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy which was met with blank stares of "what's he talking about?". I quickly realized that these people were too young to remember anything about SNL in the mid-nineties. Too young. The temptation in those situations is to think of yourself as too old, but in reality, they are too young. Not that it's a strike against them, not anymore than it would be against me being too old. It's just that in our culture we value youth, and will use the perspective of "too old" rather than "too young". Just an interesting thought.
2) Two words for you... Cheese Grater. That's what they call it. That's because no one would buy it if they called it by it's real name... Knuckle Gouger. Who knew you could get so much blood from your fingers?

I guess I'm too young too...though I just never watched SNL or tv for that matter, so i can understand the blank stares :S
About the knuckle-gouger...aren't those TERRIBLE?! I've done that a few too many times...or slicing the tomato on the spining blade that sends you to the ER with a chunk of your thumb missing.
Anyway...we should arrange a visit soon...
I haven't thought about "Deep thoughts" in a long time; now I'm chucking, thinking of some of my favourites.
LOL...I'm smart enough, I'm good enough...and dog gonnit..people like me!!!!!!!!
that's why they sell cheese already grated now.
