If I Had a Nickel For Every Blog Post I’ve Written So Far, I’d Have $9.60…So I’m Raising the Price.

The Unwritten Rules of Blogging (as I Interpret Them)
Categories: fun, What the heck was THAT?
So I’ve been officially in the blogosphere for a little over six months now, and maybe, just maybe, I’m getting the hang of it.
Come to find out that bloggers, like nearly any other group, have their own little culture. So you don’t just sign on with a Blogger account and start writing. NOooooo. You have to learn how to do it, um, properly. Just like we had to learn certain rules of etiquette when we started emailing, or certain ways of expressing ourselves with characters other than the alphabet (like 300 different forms of smiley faces) 😀 –as a blogger, you eventually learn how to walk the walk. Online, of course.
Checking In, Randomness and Some Link Love
Categories: fun, link love, random stuff
Moonlighting (um, sun-lighting?) delivering flowers several days a week has been taking a bit of a toll, both on my time and on my blog think-a-bility. Just a bit of an adjustment…plus everytime I stay up half the night to watch a movie, it takes me a few days to get back on track. 🙂
Worth it, though.
So, just checking in to say hi to all you folks in blogland, and I should be back to my deep musings soon.
Here are a few links I found interesting this week:
So We’re Nuts, But Don’t Judge Us

The Wild One, The Director, and I have been waiting all year for this one.
What are you doing Thursday night at midnight?
I’ll tell you what we’ll be doing: We’ll be at the midnight opening of The Dark Knight. Forget Batman (although Christian Bale is the best actor ever to play Batman, IMHO); we’re looking for the JOKER.
Mwahahahaha.
We are such geeks.
Random Blogdom
Categories: fun, random stuff, What the heck was THAT?
Well, it appears a growing number of my blogger friends are on blogger vacation or something. Fewer postings on their blogs, fewer comments that they’re leaving on my blog. Some have other stuff going on. (Glenn, for example, has taken a long-awaited job, and doesn’t have much time, or hasn’t learned yet how to sneak in some blogging at work.) Some are probably out enjoying the summer weather. (Well, that can’t be Heather’s excuse; it’s WINTER where she is.) And this lack-of-blogging epidemic isn’t relegated to us small fry, either; some of the better-known bloggers are taking breaks, too. Brant even had the audacity to announce that he’s taking July off. (The nerve of that guy–not entertaining us during the boringest month of the year next to January.)
Favorite Lines from "The Princess Bride"
Categories: fun, movies, random stuff, Things that Are Amazingly Awesome, What the heck was THAT?
So, okay, I’m strange.
I have this thing about injecting movie lines into conversations without warning. People who recognize the movie line usually laugh; others look at me like I have Turret’s or something.
The Princess Bride, in my opinion, has probably more fun and memorable lines than any other movie I’ve seen. So for your amazement amusement…below are five of my favorite lines from this classic:
5. “No more rhymes, now, I mean it.” “Anybody want a peanut?”
More Stuff We Do That’s Not In the Bible
Categories: church, fun, What the heck was THAT?
This is a follow-up to my post last week called “Extra-Biblical Christianity (or Stuff We Do That’s Not In the Bible).” Go read it first, if you haven’t already…I’ll wait…
I had some awesome responses from readers, things to add to the list…plus there’s a couple more I can add myself. (Again–these are about things we do as Christians or churches that are extra-Biblical, but not necessarily anti-Biblical; so today we’re not commenting on whether any particular practice is right or wrong. )
FIRST–some of the highlights that readers have added to the list:
- order of worship/order of service
Extra-Biblical Christianity (or Stuff We Do That’s Not In the Bible)
Categories: food for thought, fun, What the heck was THAT?
Have you ever stopped to think about how much we say/do in Christianity that is not found anywhere in the Bible?
Not saying all of it is bad–I have mentioned in previous posts that I feel the Bible purposefully gives us a lot of latitude in how to “do church”. So just because something isn’t in the Bible doesn’t mean it’s wrong. But what is kind of interesting–and a bit funny, even–is when we treat our extra-Biblical stuff as sacred, as if it were in the Bible. Things we’re so attached to that we wouldn’t feel like it was “church” or “Christian” if it weren’t there.
