Preacher’s Pen|…just some thoughts…

This list was sent to me by a friend, so I have no idea where it came from, but I do believe it will bring some humor to your Monday.

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.

2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.

3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.

4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM; ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU’LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE.. WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN’T MOVE AND SHOULD, WD-40 IT. IF IT SHOULDN’T MOVE AND DOES, DUCT IT.

7. IF YOU CAN’T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU’VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

DAILY THOUGHT:

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

Hope you enjoyed,

After having this website for a couple years now, I found it interesting to look at how people were arriving at the Preacher’s Pen website. So, with that in mind, some of the searches people have done and arrived at the Preacher’s Pen:

1. A search for “chris gallagher.” – I thought it was an awesome choice for a search, but now I am paranoid about who is looking for “chris gallagher.”
2. A search for “waste time sermon.” – Oh how I would love to know what this person is looking for.
3. A search for “New Year sermons by Assemblies of God preachers.” – Well, I finally made someone’s list.
4. A search for “do not take care of the preacher.” – I wonder if there search was a positive thing or a negative thing.
5. A search for “esv Study Bible review.” — That search was bought hundreds of hits if not thousands since the posting of that article. Search for it and give it a read.

With those searches and topics finding their way to the Preacher’s Pen, I wonder what is set for this year? Only God knows!

Because of HIM,

Chris

This is a promotional clip of Nazareth. An excellent comedian with a good message.

Enjoy!

His Eye is on the Sparrow

by Jamie Gilliam

“Look at the birds in the sky! They don’t plant or harvest. They don’t even store grain in barns. Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren’t you worth more than birds?” - Matthew 6:26

As I sit at my parent’s breakfast table this morning, I can’t help but think of the hymn “His Eye Is On The Sparrow.” I griped nearly every day last week about the cold rain that we were getting here for what seemed like eight or nine days without any sunshine. It turned my parent’s backyard into a bit of a muddy mess around their patio and prompted my dad to go and buy some straw to spread around to help cut down on the mud tracked in by the dogs.

I watch this morning as bird after bird flies down into that straw and picks out the seeds and flies away. A male and female cardinal, doves, wrens even a blue jay and an old crow have come down to eat breakfast with me. It is a clear reminder that not only is God taking care of his smallest creatures but He will take care of me and all of us too.
If it had not rained so much, there would not have been the need to put the straw down. Without the straw, I would not have gotten the encouragement I got this morning in this hard time for me. God is taking good care of me through this difficult time. He’s keeping his arms wrapped around me and working in me to help me overcome losing Leah. He knew I needed a boost this morning going through the holiday and He delivered for me.

My prayer is for everyone to have a Merry Christmas and try to take a minute to slow down, look for the small things going on around you that you might miss and remember the real meaning of Christmas. Also take an extra minute and get an extra hug from that loved one because you never know if they will be here next Christmas or not.

Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
and long for heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is he:
His eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me.

I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
for his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me.

I decided after various YouTube postings of various comedians and clips, I decided to post one of my favorite moments of this year. This is a video of my son Caleb and my brother Aaron. Over Thanksgiving, Aaron began blowing bubbles with gum and Caleb found popping them to be hilarious. Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by!
