I know, it’s been some days since I have written a post. I’ve been working quite a bit and to be honest, I’ve had a little bit of writer’s block. Or blog block. I have had some thoughts and I just thought I would share them all:
Political Ads: I don’t get it. I know that Election Day is tomorrow, but come on. Some of the ads on t.v. make me want to punch someone in the face. The ads don’t make me want to vote for you. In fact, the nastier they are the more I am definitely not going to vote for you. I saw one this morning that was for a judge and it was a man standing in front of a barn singing in a horrible country voice about how this was the best choice for judge ever. I’m going to vote tomorrow but I am 100% over it.
I don’t know if anyone has noticed but Christmas is creeping in like you wouldn’t believe. Just for the record, there is a holiday between Halloween and Christmas. It’s called Thanksgiving. We eat turkey and cranberry sauce. It’s a good time. However, Home Depot had some pretty awesome wrapping paper…
Sam Hunt has a new album out called Montevallo. You should probably check it out, it’s county with a little hip hop in there. You know that song Cop Car that Keith Urban sang? Well Sam Hunt wrote it and he wrote some of other awesome songs that you can find on his album. My personal favorite is ‘Speakers’ makes me swoon every time. It also doesn’t hurt that he is incredibly good looking. Oh and can we talk about Meghan Trainor, she sings ‘All About that Bass’, love it times a thousand.
And then there is this things I’ve noticed lately about Christianity. I’ve never professed on this blog not to be a Christian so I feel like I can say this. When did we make it so complicated?! A couple of days ago I was working the demo station, and we were serving Cabernet Pot Roast. It’s marinated in wine and you just cook it. It’s really good, but in preparation we seared each side, put a little beef brother and Cabernet wine in a crockpot for it to cook in. Customer #1 came up to get a sample and was chowing down when Customer #2 came up to see what we were serving and to ask how we prepared it. Once I got to the part about putting a little wine in the crockpot with the pot roast she immediately said, ‘I don’t drink alcohol.’ Before I could get any words out Customer #1 said ‘Oh, no worries, the alcohol cooks out.’ To which Customer #2 replied in a more stern voice, ‘I don’t drink alcohol.’ At this point, I decided to jump in and said ‘Oh yeah, it cooks out and we add it for more flavor, it’s already been marinated in Cabernet before we added any extra.’ Customer #2 then said, very sternly, and almost offended ‘I don’t even touch alcohol.’ and turned and walked away. When Customer #2 was far enough away Customer #1 said ‘Damn Christians.’ It wasn’t my place to say anything I am simply serving the food, but my heart hurt. Not only was Customer #2 way wrong about what the Bible says, but now Customer #1 has a skewed view of what Christianity is. Jesus makes it pretty simple once you have accepted Christ, Love God and Love People. Let’s just remember that this holiday season. People need Jesus way more than they need presents.
One Direction. Yeah, I know they are a boy band. I come from a boy band era. But Praise the Lord for Harry Styles. They have a new album coming out soon too. You should probably just trust me and get on the One Direction train.
If you have children around the age of 1. Let me just suggest two Halloween costumes that will make them the cutest children in the world. A dinosaur and a mouse. Trust me people will ooohh and aaahh when they come to the door. I also met a lady at work that was going to dress her baby up as an ice cream cone and I couldn’t handle it. Baby Halloween costumes are genius. They make a cuter baby even cuter and then we give it candy for the adults to eat.
And this verse: ‘Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.’ Ephesians 5:14.
Did anybody watch the tight rope man? I didn’t but I saw some clips afterward. That is not a talent I want any of my close family and friends to pick up. Why on earth he feels the need for that kind of adrenaline I have no idea. You can say what you want but I just think that is stupid.
That’s all for now. I know, it’s a bit all over the place, but sometimes my brain has thoughts in a thousand different directions. Till next time blog world.
