Monument Quartet

Greetings from Monument! Marshall assigned this artice and told me to have fun but not to get us expelled, so here it is.

You know, there are alot of things I don't understand. Some of them are extremely inportant and used quite frequently, yet others are more obscure. An example of a widely used item would be an automobile engine. Now I did not say that it could not be understood; I just said I don't get it, however, I'm not gonna push my car till I figure it out. Other observations may seem a little trivial, but worth mentioning in my mind. This is my article anyway, so I can note whatever I deem necessary.

Here are a couple of the latest: First, why in the world does our GPS on the bus tell us how far it is to our destination "as the crow flies"? As of our last trip, in spite of several attempts, our bass singer's design for wings (to be added to the bus) have proven unsuccessful. I'm not saying it won't ever work Brad, it just hasn't yet buddy. You keep striving for excellence. Until then, I don't see the reason for this information. Secondly, and by far the most intriguing... cushioned toliet seats. Two questions spring from this subject. Does every cushioned tiolet seat come with a tear already in it? I don't think I've ever sat on one that didn't pinch. Really! Also, does it actually help? I mean admittedly I'm a big guy, but the immediate "pfft" sound denotes a lack of sustained cushioning ability. Doesn't it? A lesser remark on this subject, if your still the slightest bit wet from a shower when you sit you might slip off into the floor! Not cool...especially if your visiting. Not that I would know, I'm just saying hypothetically. You understand I'm sure.

I realize that this deep intellectual kind of thought is not the stuff that sermons are made of, but honestly it seems to me that we do well when we take ourselves a little less seriously. There are also plenty of spiritual topcis I can't quite get my mind around, like God's grace and why He would choose to love me, but that's another article. This one is for laughs and maybe even a merry heart or two( which doeth good like a medicine Prov 17:22).

Life is fun, especially as a christian. Christ said "I came that they might have life and have it more abundantly."(John 10:10) What we have to do is live that abundant life so thoroughly that it points people to the one who gave it to us.

God bless and feel free to add anything that YOU might not understand,
