politics

you know...the other day i was reading through some different blogs and news sites when it dawned on me...I never really post anything of intelligence or of controversy. it was then that i decided that ole Lance really does have some opinions about things...and although i may not talk about them here much, i may in fact have something to add to all the topics out there. i decided that i would post a series of blogs about politically charged topics like, abortion, racism, immigration, the "war on terror", our president, religion and a series of other issues. while i may not be able to solve all the problems, perhaps(thanks for giving me that word to use in every day language....Dr. Bob) i can say something of value that will change someones life...that is until i ran across this beauty you see below. it reminded me of what i'm supposed to do and what it is that i'm good at. finding the stuff in this crazy world that brings a smile to my face and hopefully to others....to look at a pile of dog poo..in my front yard...some one elses dog...and not get mad...but actually laugh at how funny it is that there is dog poo in my yard and it really stinks..and that's funny...knowing in a few weeks that a little spot in my yard will be greener than the rest of the yard. when i stop laughing at dog poo...then there is a real issue for me. it means i've stopped finding ways to find joy in everyday life...and to recognize God's creativity all around..and His humor. it means i've started taking myself way too seriously...which by the way is a major fun killer. don't get me wrong...life is not all about having fun or self gratification...but didn't God create us for HIs pleasure...that means He wants to enjoy us...to recieve Glory...that tells me that God enjoys his creation or at least He wants to. anyway, this car speaks to me everyday when i drive by on my way home and to work...it screams..."Stop taking yourself so seriously....chill out...enjoy God...and His creation!!!!" so listen to the car as he speaks...and pay careful attention to the windshield. you gotta love that marketing..."cold a/c"...with busted out windows...HA!!!!
