Sanctimonious and Priggish

Last week's episode of JAG was... interesting. Here are my observations:

1. Mr. As The World Turns guy needs to get the airplane out of his butt and realize that Harm is the only one that makes the world turn (as I cringe, praying that God doesn't strike me with lightning).

2. Sanctimonious and Priggish... the writer's need to work on their adjectives. Sturgis already called Mac those not so endearing terms.

I would have more, but my hand still hurts from my sanctimonious sledding saga. How's that for alliteration?

Finally, I have a quote, compliments of one of my kids (and, yes, they are my kids, right JB?): "Why do they call it a statement when it is more than one sentence? Wouldn't it be called a lot of statements?"

Merely a Flesh Wound (And I'm Not Talking "Grace Life")

Due to rumors that have been flying (namely in planes used for the purpose therein of crop dusting), I must inform you all that I have a bad case of writer's block. However, I assure you that this is not mental writer's block... it is physical. Unfortunately, I had a sort of "crash landing" into some trees and other shrub-looking obstacles. Two broken bones in my hand were incurred during the incident. Therefore, I have been "grounded" and the aircraft (aka: sled) used in flight will be retired to the woodshed for the time being. I will also not be writing for a while because it is rather difficutlt to type one handed...

At least I can still read "smut"!!!

Cap'n Jack Sparrow (Oops! Ramsey)/A Party at ABC?

Let me start with tonight's episode before I flip about a certain crackheaded rumor that may or may not be true.

1. Captain Jack Ramsey? One of the producers has been watching Pirate's of the Caribbean one too many times. Not that I am complaining... I enjoy the movie. But c'mon! Let's get a little more creative with the names here, okay?

2. "If the Red Sox can win the series, then anything can happen!" Obviously, someone hates Boston. Now, while I am not partial to the greater New England area, I do live here currently. Therefore, I feel the need to defend the infamous Red Sox by saying that they played better than season ten of JAG!

3. Did someone from costume forget to go to the dry cleaners? If I ever see Harm in a turban again, I am going to wear ashes and sit in my fire place. Oh wait... I don't have a fire place. Hmm...

And now...

David, we need to have a serious heart-to-heart. Let me explain something to you. You cannot leave until I have written at least ONE episode for JAG. After that, you and Steven can go have a party with all of your new ABC friends. While I will not necessarily approve of your choice, I will eventually manage to stop mourning and move on with life. Until then, I leave you with one question... WHAT THE H*** ARE YOU THINKING?

God, Court Martials, and JAG

Lately, during discipleship class my students have been discussing the topic of freedom. Today, specifically, they were discussing free will (insert: My boss, Bruce, is a very brave man!!!). Anyway, hilarity ensued (or something akin to it) when one of my students claimed that following God was like joining the Navy:

"Yes, you get the benefits but, once you're in... you're in. And if you leave you get court martialed, and JAG steps in, and it's all down hill from there!"
