Pardon Me For Asking, But...

Is there anything on earth that grows faster than dandelions?

Last week the price of gas here was $3.99. Sunday evening it had gone down a dime. Monday afternoon it had jumped to $4.09. How does the price jump 20 cents in (just hours) on gas that is already in the gas station's underground tanks?

Why are we continuing to spend billions of dollars per day in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the congress keeps arguing how to reduce spending?

What is it about Lowes and Home Depot that makes my heart rate increase and a tingle run up my spine?

Where have the statesmen gone? Where are the larger than life leaders that we need in times like these? Must we settle for mediocrity? When will the election ballots contain the block for "none of the above"?


*****

Why is the church the only army that shoots its wounded?



*****
Baseball or soccer? The choice is obvious!

They say Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Aren't the President and the 535 members of the Senate and House doing the same thing?

It is obvious that I (and just about every other minister I know) married up. How can anyone doubt the existance of God and the brilliance of His plan?

Is there anyone out there who is as tired of hearing about the Royal Wedding as I am? I am happy for the Prince and his beautiful bride, but enough already!

Pardon me. Just asking...
