terrible puns

I am not a fan of puns.  When I accidentally make a pun in casual conversation I don't even bother saying "pardon the pun" because people who know me already know that no pun is intended unless otherwise indicated.  It's part of the rider on being my friend.  

So when I saw this picture I was not surprised.  A little appalled, but not surprised. Christ followers are called to be in the world not of it.  This applies to the the stuff we read and watch on TV to the places we go and the things we do.  We are set apart.  However, in terms of good taste, we shouldn't be.  

Got Jesus? It's Hell without Him.   

Got an original thought?  Seriously, stop using this one.  

Here are some other personal Fav's:

Fight Truth decay

Abstinence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Practice Random Acts of Praise and Worship

Life is Fragile, Handle With Prayer.

TGIF = Thank God I'm Forgiven

Miracles Happen 

- (I prefer the original.)

God Created Adam and Eve NOT Adam and Steve.  

- Good one.  I know six people who got saved by that one.  Turned them right around. 

As you can see, puns, especially Christian puns, can drive a man from anger to violence.  It only takes a spark to get a pun going.  That's not punny at all, I'm sorry.  It's all pun and games until someone pokes their eye out.

Peace Out.

Our Neighbor Gale (aka Mrs Kravitz)

We have a neighbor who...hmm...(say something nice, say something nice)...who is challenged by reality.

So she goes around the neighborhood checking in on dogs and cats. This is the woman who will come into your backyard uninvited because she hears a puppy yapping. Weird.

Grace. Mercy. Must....over....come....I can't do it.

OK. Here's the story. Gail owns two houses right next to each other. One is for her dogs and the other is for her cats. She got into a fight with our other neighbor, the Frito Lay guy. Every day Frito Lay guy parks his Frito Lay truck more and more in front of the Gail's dog house. Granted, no person actually lives there but Gail had enough.
Gail borrowed a friend's boat and parked it in front of the cat house. Then she rented a 24 ft Uhaul truck and parked it in front of the dog house.
Frito lay guy got super mad and calls the cops. Nothing can be done.
This is where it gets a little weird. Like it took a Rhald Dahl turn.
-Gail puts up security cameras on her house. It ends up they were fake but annoying.
-Frito Lay guy finds out that Gail has been watering his bushes that make up a virtual wall between the two of their properties. She waters their plants every day to grow taller. FL guy cuts them to the ground. I mean stumps.
I'm not making this stuff up.
Finally, Gail decides she liked it better with the virtual wall. So she buys the biggest wooden cow cut out I've ever seen and places it just on her property line resurrecting the virtual wall. Eventually, the cops got involved. Talked her into putting the cut out cow away. No one was hurt.
Gail is her own worst enemy. But at the same time, she's also watching over my house when I'm not there. It's kind of a sense of security with a tinge of Mrs Kravitz from Bewitched.
