Round, Black and Full of Air

I bet you thought I was going to say Obama right? Well actually in a way I am going to say Obama. But I am referring to his energy policy which this highly educated presidential hopeful feels is our best hope for our domestic oil production problem.

Thursday, July 30th presidential candidate Barak Obama said at a campaign rally in Springfield, MO:

“We could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much,”

Yep you guessed it. The next time you pull into your gas station and ask for a fill-up make sure you are talking about your tires and not your gas tank.

Mr Obama seems to feel that if we all inflate our tires and give our cars tune ups we can save as much gas as is in our own natural oil resources.

And to think he had to go to Harvard to come up with that one!

For this and other ridiculous comments we have officially declared Obama as one who flew over the cuckoo’s nest.

Energizer Christians

I love that little pink bunny. You know the one who beats on his own drum and keeps going and going and going and going. That’s right the Energizer bunny. That little pink bunny who finds the power to do just about anything. He never tires, he never slows down, in fact he is able to energize a whole city in one commercial. Thump thump thump he goes. Marching along steady and sure beating on that big bass drum never stopping or slowing.

I believe Christians have gotten caught up in the Energizer bunny syndrome. It would appear from some of our actions that we feel we must keep going and going and going no matter what comes our way. We do not allow ourselves any time to remain idle. We feel we must have the power and the energy to embrace all circumstances with a steady drumbeat of righteousness and Godly character. We keep beating our own drums and marching to our own beat never stopping to consider what lies around us. We are making so much progress on our own strength and merit while beating our own drums that perhaps we feel we are invincible, even godlike.

Beat the drum, keep on moving, never tire, never slow down. Just like the energizer bunny we feel we have power to spare no matter what demands are placed on us. We continue to feel the need to give out and enlighten our darkened world so much perhaps we have failed to realize that even an Eveready battery goes dead if it is not recharged.
