Jason Parks sent me this picture with the following which was funny:  “You could be P. Ditty’s new bodyguard. We will call you J. Diddy and get you a big diamond earring and fancy sun glasses to bling you out. But don’t quit your day job”.  I guess I had that coming posting all of the Diddy pics didn’t I?

OK I am proud of this one…come on you have to admit that is funny!

Liked this post from Laura’s blog:

“A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of ho t chocolate and an assortment of cups – porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite – telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.

When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: ‘Notice that all the nice looking,expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you’re drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups … And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.

Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate provided for us.  God makes the hot chocolate, man chooses the cups.

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything.They just make the best of everything that they have.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.
And enjoy your hot chocolate!”

Since this song is from Fight Club you may have heard it but I wasn’t a big fan of the movie.  I have a bad habit of falling asleep during movies so that could definitely be part of it.  Then again, if the movie isn’t engaging enough to keep my attention for an hour and a half (or two), isn’t that really saying something?  Maybe I should start my own movie review website where the criteria is “does Jeremy fall asleep”?  Any way this song probably isn’t for everyone but I really like it.  What say you?

Our church had a little get together last night.  They played Finding Nemo outside by the playground and did a really good job with it.  They served popcorn, sweedish fish, gummy worms, and goldfish which of course was fitting for the movie.  They had little fish tents setup so the kids could hang out in them too.  Tyler is on a sunglasses kick recently and insisted that he wore his sunglasses throughout almost the entire movie.
