Radioactive Telephones?

Hi. You have reached the Fanugarties delicatessen, there is no one to answer your call right now but if you leave a message at the sound of the beep, we'll get back to you as soon as possible. "High, this is George and I'm a Jewish painter and I need to speak to the owner of the house..um sorry business. I received a call that there was work to be done and someone gave me your number. Is there a George that works there? Well um, you can call me back at 555-5555. I'm usually available in the afternoons and would love to refresh the place with a fresh coat of paint. Thanks, bye." Jerry the supervisor receives the message.

"George, we got a call from a painter who says he knows you and wants to do some work in our restaurant. What do you say?" George, who is totally unconscious at this point wakes up from his daydream, and slowly walks out the business (never to return). At this point a man walks into the delicatessen. "May I have some hash browns and a cherry soda please?" says the man. Jerry's assistant behind the counter looks up at him and says, "Welcome to the most reasonably priced deli in south Hampton, where your wish is our delight. Hash browns and a cherry soda coming right up!" As the man receives his food, he notices a delightful man who happened to sneak in behind him, very casually. "Excuse me sir." says the man, "did you just see that!" There was a flock of birds who just flew into the store and started to eat away at the paint on the walls. In minutes the entire store was destroyed, except for the place where George was day dreaming a few minute earlier.

The Jewish painter walks into the store. "Can I see a man named George?" "Purely for business purposes I assume" says Jerry. The Jewish painter notices that that store is under attack by a flock of Canadian Geese, and takes out his paintbrush and waves it in the air and says some kind of prayer and the birds leave the store. Just then George the man who was gone forever comes back into the store and realises that he left the door of the store open, as a Big red truck that was passing by carrying wild bird to the zoo, took a hard turn on the street before the deli which thew open the back door of the truck to release all the wild animals including the birds, which have ravished the store. Moral of the story, when a Jewish painter calls your house, make sure you answer the phone. The picture in this blog is not of me, it is the lead singer of the band "radiohead." I got the picture of Thomas York from a google search. I love radiohead.

Age of Brokenness.

  We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

 Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this:    “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.   2  Five of them were foolish and five were wise.   3  The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.   4  The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.   5  The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6  “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7  “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.   8  The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9  “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

  Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord.   From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
