Random Thoughts 6/14/11

  • Pray for my uncle Ron.  He had a heart attack and the latest word is that he'll have to have surgery this week.  We love him dearly. 
  • Happy birthday, Mom!
  • People love underdogs and hate braggarts.  That's why it was easy to jump on the Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks band wagon.  LeBron James and his fellow Miami Heat teammates are great but I'm betting that a lot of casual fans were cheering for whichever team the Heat were playing.
  • What can you buy with food stamps these days?  Look at that receipt!!!  Apparently your food stamps can buy six lobsters and two porterhouse steaks.  And don't forget the 120 cans of Diet Mt. Dew to wash down all that steak and lobster.
  • George Lucas and his team have created 50 hours (about two television seasons' worth) of new, live-action Star Wars material for television.  So why are these scripts not being filmed yet?  The technology required is too expensive for a television budget.  They think the technology will be three or four years away, before a television show can afford the special effects required to film this show.

You could always buy those things with food stamps. That stuff was purchased by a criminal, who had apparently stolen the card. People who actually use food stamps can't buy things like that, or they won't be able to eat for the rest of the month.

And while we're at it, didn't Jesus have some things to say on the subject of charity? Like anyone wanting to follow him should give away all they had and trust solely in God to provide for them?
