long term insurance

today was a most interesting day - a day that i became even more confused by insurance. what type, you ask? well, i'm talking about long term care insurance. now, that is exactly what they mean - long term care. they are only interested in insuring you if you will not need long term care insurance and you die in the relatively near future without ever using them. true. not lying. anyway, i also found that when you insure two people with a significant difference in age that the price is cheaper for the two, than just for the older one. what? wait! how can that be true? well, it is, by about 10%. even the adjuster, who was figuring the price was shocked, as he started out his quote with wow, you won't believe this. the only better deal i've ever found is the one i received when i became a Christian. with that deal, you get three in one for the same cost - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Sweet!

vacation

you know, vacations are really nice. i mean think about it. you leave your home, your job, your family, and your friends and you get away. in other words, you leave your normal life and put it on hold so you can go somewhere - the mountains, the seashore, or the fruited plains. okay, i got a little carried away. the other little thing you leave are the day-to-day stresses of your normal life. that's why you need a vacation - to clear your head - and to tune into God.

thinking

i was just sitting here thinking. about what, you ask? well, let me see if i can put it into a short, succinct paragraph. the day. yes, the day. now, i am impressed that, first, i am thinking. second, that i remember what went on today. i mean, that's like walking into a grocery store without the list and expecting to remember everything that is on the list. uh, ok. which, by the way, is one of the things i did today. but, no worry, i just bought lots of extra stuff - which, somehow or another covered the list. anyway, back to thinking. is it really cracked up to be that great. i think so. after all, that's one of the reasons God gave us a brain - to think. hope we all get around to that some day.

Exciting

i have not published on my blog for some time. however, i am going to make an attempt to do so. it's not that my life has been boring. far from it. my life is rather exciting. pastoring a church is nothing short of a blessing from God. though the church is medium size - what is a megachurch anyway - i am surrounded by a group of people that love God, love each other, and love me. there is nothing like preaching to a group of people on sunday morning that want to not just know about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit - they want to know Him - i mean a real life, intimate, personal relationship. cool, huh? so, my life is not boring. again, i am going to make an attempt to publish at least two posts per week. you know, the old KISS principle - keep it simple saint.
