HOLY HOT CHOCOLATE , BATMAN!

I’m scared of hot chocolate!

A couple of weeks ago I stopped by Brahms to get a hot chocolate. Brahms makes everything better and they also put whipped cream on their hot chocolate. What does whipped cream have to do with anything? Will it usually cools down the hot chocolate. The morning that I purchased this wonderful drink but still scary they asked

“would you like some whipped cream with that?”

and I replied

“ yes please”.

Now this is when it gets interesting, anticipating drinking the hot chocolate( which is a wonderful drink at this time and no way scary) on a cold November morning even though I know that it is hot but I thought the whipped cream would make it safe so I decided to take a sip. A sip that’s all just one little sip what could that hurt but the sip was not a sip it was a swig.

That’s when it happened the wonderful drink turned scary. It was in my mouth burning.

Should I spit it out but where?

Should I swallow? The horror

I burnt my tung (that’s how you spell tongue after you burn it). That’s when I started to fear hot chocolate.

I, like batman have decided to use my fear and turn it against my enemies and become Hot Chocolate man. I could wear a brown outfit and shoot whipped cream at my enemies.

I really don’t have that many enemies other than AOL, DHS and the Galleria furniture store. Somebody already took the website name HOT CHOCOLATE MAN (GROSS!) and what kind of superhero doesn’t have a website.

So, I guess that I will go on living my ordinary life and maybe I will try that wonderful but scary drink called hot chocolate one day but until then.....

BEWARE OF THE HOT CHOCOLATE!

Countdown to Turkey

We’ll the countdown has begun to Turkey Day. The emphasis has moved to the turkey somewhere between the Pilgrims and now. This doesn’t bother me that this has happened because I try to be thankful all the time not needing a certain day to remind me hey you should be thankful. I mean it’s nice idea to think that everybody’s focus is giving thanks. I might have a cynical view but this day is not about thanks. It’s about eating as much as we can eat, watching football, some time off from work and shopping at the crack of dawn.

I’m surprised that the Turkey (the official food of the Thanksgiving Holiday) has made it as the main course. I always thought it would be kind of nice to have our favorite dishes instead of food that we only have once possibly twice a year. I think this would spark interest in thankfulness.

I like Thanksgiving; it has some of my favorite things.

family
football
eating
time off from work
rest (hopefully)
hand art
giant baloons in the shape of cartoons
putting up Christmas lights

I’m very thankful for this time.
HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!




COMING SOON

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS

Goodbye sweet treats!

We’re trying to promote healthy living in our house. We’re giving coupons to our 4 yr old to take to her Grandma/babysitter’s house and for our house. The coupons will be for one sweet treat every once in a while or just one cup of chocolate milk instead of many. We hope this will help her make healthy habits not just now but good habits in the future. This can only be done if we her parents are a good example and make good decisions too.

I’ve known people who have said when I have children then I will go to Church because I want my kids to be raised at Church. There is a chance that this person’s children will grow up to be Christians but the truth is probably look to parents spiritual habits. If they don’t care about their soul now than it will be hard to make good spiritual habits.

I know it’s going to be hard to change my eating habits but I know who’s watching me.

Landslide

I’ve heard the song Landslide four times(Fleetwood Mac 3, Dixie Chicks 1) in the last week.

What does this mean?

What is this song about?

I took my love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
‘til the landslide brought it down

Oh, mirror in the sky – What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin’…ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
I don’t know….I don’t know

Well I’ve been afraid of changin’
Because I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
Am I’m getting older too…

So, take my love…take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills…
Well the landslide will bring it down
The landslide will bring it down

Your guess is as good as mine.

HOT DOG!

I was able to go to the OU game Saturday with my good friend Steve. I had a good time and yes, I did root for the Sooners (my allegiance still with the Pokes).

What was it that got my attention?

Was it the exciting football game? NO
Was it the flyover during the National Anthem? NO
Was it the vendor loosing his money and it flying all over the crowd? NO
Was it the awesome Fighting Texas Aggie Band? NO


It was a sign on the JUMBOTRON. An advertisement for BAR-S FOODS bragging that they make 7 million hotdogs a day. That's 2 Billion 541 Million hotdogs a year and I gave them Thanksgiving and Christmas day off.


Now that's a lot of free radicals.

The B-I-B-L-E

I was thinking (which could be considered dangerous at times) about the comparison of the Bible and a teddy bear.

My son has a teddy bear and is very attached to it like a lot kids are attached to blankets, toys, and any stuffed type creature.


The Teddy Bear

1. My son is very glad to see his bear whenever he has been away from it.


2. He likes to keep it near him for comfort when he is down.


3. If he keeps carrying it around when he gets older he might kids might make fun of him.

The Bible

1. Are we glad to read the Bible whenever we have been away from it?


2. Do we keep the Bible close to us for comfort when we are down?


3. Are we afraid that if we carry around our Bible that we will be ridiculed?

Where is your Bible?

Don't be a weed!

I was fortunate to get to go to the home opener of the NOK Hornets. NOK being New Orleans and Oklahoma City combined but that's a different blog at a different blog time anyway (that was for Luke) there was a man holding up a sign wanting to legalize marijuana (weed) saying that this would stop gang activity. I guess he was thinking this worked back in the day with Capone and Prohibition. It's already scary with people drinking and driving. How about people someone wacked out on drugs driving.
Just listen to Nancy Reagan and say no to drugs.

I think the guy holding the sign was actually a rep. from the snack food industry trying to raise sales.

Ok, I'm getting to a point in all this rambling. The other day I was listening to the Bible (I did say listening to the Bible. Yes, I'm reading impaired not that I can't read, it's just doing it is the problem. I'm losing focus here must finish point.) The other day I was listening to the Bible and I came upon the 13th chapter of Matthew verses 24 thru 30 The Parable of the Weeds and verses 36 thru 43 The Parable of the Weeds Explained and I thought of the man with the sign who actually in all honesty probably wanted to smoke weed and not go to jail than actually caring about gangs and their activities.

The irony is if he doesn't change his ways that he'll probably be a smoked weed.


The Parable of the Weeds
24Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27"The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?'
28" 'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
29" 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' "

The Parable of the Weeds Explained
36Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."
37He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40"As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
DON'T BE A WEED!

Look who's 1!
Holt Warner!
Happy Birthday buddy!
