Wednesday Quotable

Every single Wednesday from the end of June 2008 through the start of April 2009 my good friend LL Phil J / The Citizen Cane posted a ‘Wednesday Quotable’ over on his award-winning blog. It’s one of his few original ideas. 😆 (I joke.)

Just because he’s livin’ it up out on the high seas and his blog is on temporary hiatus doesn’t mean that we need to be without a ‘Wednesday Quotable’, so I present to you a collection of 5 fine quotes to keep you thinking until P.J. returns back to the blogosphere with his own quote(s) next Wednesday:

– Live as though Christ died yesterday, rose from the grave today, and is coming back tomorrow. (Theodore Epp)

– A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell. (C.S. Lewis)

– Here, then, is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God’s Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem is that we are lazy. (R.C. Sproul)

– Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him, and expect help from Him, He will never fail you. (George Mueller)

– Never underestimate Jesus, because He will just prove you wrong. (Brian Gurney)

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

A Tuesday night tradition since 2007 continues …

1.  It’s a chilly day in April here in America’s Riviera. We didn’t even crack the 75°F mark this afternoon, and temperatures early tomorrow morning should plummet into the upper-40s !  It’ll be another chilly day tomorrow too (below 75°F again).

2.  It’s hard to believe that just 24 hours ago it was nearly 90°F outside (and in my living room as well). Next month 90°F will be a normal afternoon here, and our unusually long and chilly winter season will be a distant memory.

3.  Hopefully we won’t be talking much about these boys and girls later this year – Ana, Bill, Claudette, Danny, Erika, Fred, Grace, Henri, Ida, Joaquin, Kate, Larry, Mindy, etc., etc., etc.

4.  ‘Hey Chris – Why are you all dressed up today ?’  I got that several times at work today. It happens every time I go out to the stores and treat myself to new clothes (which doesn’t happen very often). It’s all good. I’m sharp like that. 8)

5.  I know that I’ve been putting this off since essentially last September (when my previous longtime Doctor disappeared into thin air), but I still need to search for a General Family Practice Doctor here in the greater Homestead area. I’m looking for a regular male M.D. that speaks and understands fluent English that is within about 10 years of my age. He obviously needs to be able to accept new customers (some don’t) as well as accept bonafide certified genuine BCBS medical insurance. Send me any legitimate tips that you may have. I’m approaching my 42ND birthday. Elvis Presley died of the mother of all MASSIVE heart attacks at the ripe young age of 42. Need I say more ?

Monday Night Countdown

I’ve been sitting here at home all day long on an unscheduled day off from work waiting as A.C. technicians ultimately remove and replace my longtime condensing unit outside with an all-new modern and efficient one.

Here are the TOP 5 advantages of this particular situation:

5.  I have actual South Florida subtropical weather right here in my living room with all-time record high temperatures approaching the upper-80s and heat indices well into the 90s !

4.  I actually see cumulonimbus clouds forming at approximately 12 feet above ground level here in my living room. I may have to issue myself a severe thunderstorm watch for the northern suburbs of my living room.

3.  Simple Math – (88°F + 58% RH) = moist soft skin to die for !

2.  I planned this all along in a dire effort to lose the remaining half-dozen pounds to get back to my longtime fighting weight of the mid-to-upper-160s.

1.  With the $600 that I spent getting my car repaired last Monday and the $2,600 that I spent on this Monday to get my A.C. replaced it now appears that I need a bailout from the Federal Government. I’ll ask for one when I go back to work tomorrow morning.
