‘GenX’ For A Whole Other Reason

What does Katy Perry, Kids in the buff, and TV Evanges all have in common?

Nothing more than those having to be the tiny inklings of “whatt-wha”s that have filtered through my brain this week.

It’s been interesting at best… I mean:

  • How do you derive from 1 Kings 19, and I quote the good rev, “So Elijah said, ‘Hey, God, I’m tired.  I want to kill myself, but too afraid and tired to do so.  So, you kill me instead‘?”  No joke… this was really said.  Very confusing.  Elijah never said, “I want to kill myself.”  He only implied that he was beyond tired of running, fearing, and speaking to deaf ears; and that his mind could only think of one place he rather be:  with God.  That scripture does not say “Elijah was ready to kill himself,” nor does it say that he would if it wasn’t for the fact that he was “too afraid and tired” to do it himself.
  • My house decided to flip out two days ago where the lights began going on and off in succession all by their lonesome.  It took a day to determine that the AC was going out, and somehow causing the lights to malfunction as well.  Also…. very confusing.  Then again, the company that made my AC, went out of biz in the early 1940s.
  • Oh, here’s another thing that had me perplexed.  What’s up with Katy Perry??  Where has her moral compass gone??  I’m cautious in saying this, but going to say it anyway… I’m ashamed of how she treated Jennifer Knapp, and I’m ashamed she still proclaims to be a Christian after all these years.  And she may still be, I don’t want to be accused of jumping on a slippery-slope here, and I have no intentions of being judgmental, but her example as a “Christian” seems an awfully strange way of edifying The Body and being a beacon of light and example from God.  I look back at all the kids that followed her in the old days when she was a teen and on a Christian label, and now…. many of them are hurt, if not just disappointed.  Anywho….
  • Can Civ4 played on an ice planet be anymore fun?  Seriously, can it??  I think not.
  • And lastly… isn’t it weird when a 3 year old goes to a stranger’s house, and while the adults are sitting around talking, in 2.5 seconds flat he is suddenly in the buff and riding into the living room on the said strangers dog like it’s a miniature horse??  Yeaaaaaaa… I think so, too. (BTW, in case you’re wondering, yea… that happened to me yesterday!  Little tot, running around in the buff, and then hopping on my dog like he’s a mini sized horse!   And his parents were still there!!)
