Apprentice 2 Jesus

Humor

  • Rob Bell just…

    … Actually, I have no comment… and honestly no care. I just needed some blog hits today and having Rob Bell in the tag really helps. Friends, there are just so many more things that are far more worthy of our spiritual attention and prayer. Rob Bell makes me yawn.   Read more

  • Solving the Political Impasse

    My family has figured out how to settle the impasse politicians have these days when it comes to… well… ANYTHING. So, to pass a budget, we recommend following the rules of the Catholic conclave (modified). If they can elect a POPE in three ballots, surely some modified rules can get a budget passed in Congress.… Read more

  • Jesus Endorsed Me!

    Yesterday I checked my LinkedIn notices on my phone and the short headline read: “Jesus just endorsed you…” I had no idea Jesus was on LinkedIn, but I was happy for the endorsement. Then, I looked at a fuller version and realized it was one of my Hispanic friends who had  a last name as… Read more

  • Words from Francis I

    From Pope Francis I’s first homily: “We must always walk in the presence of the Lord, in the light of the Lord, always trying to live in an irreprehensible way,” he said in a heartfelt homily of a parish priest, loaded with biblical references and simple imagery. “When we walk without the cross, when we… Read more

  • Pope Bracketology

    As the conclave starts this week, make sure you have your brackets ready! This March it’s b-ball in America and c-ball (cardinal ball) in Rome. Read more

  • A Valentine Thought for All the Men

    “On Valentine’s Day, millions of men give millions of women flowers, cards, and candy as a heartfelt expression of the emotion that also motivates men to observe anniversaries and birthdays: FEAR.” (Dave Barry) Thankfully, not so for me and my wife. (Sorry I forgot the flowers, dear… and the card… but thanks for dinner!)   Read more

  • Here’s a “Tip” for You

    Since the internet still buzzes over a Christian who can’t tip, I thought I might offer a bit of humor. We don’t seem to be in a “generous” mood, so I want to lighten it up. There was a businesswoman working in downtown Minneapolis walking from her bus stop to her work one day when… Read more

  • Two Words

    So a man joins a monastery in hopes of finding eternal peace. He is not allowed to speak all year. Every year he gets to go into the head abbot’s office and say just two words. The first year was completed and he went into the office. The abbot asked, “How are things going?” He… Read more

  • Workout

    The new year brings resolutions. There is always that crazy resolution of, “This year, I am going to get in shape.” That lasts about three weeks. Nevertheless, I made the commitment to join a health club and work out. I used a training session today… and that “no pain, no gain” thing is just stupid. Read more

  • Fun

    Try this one. You’re in a department store and you know there are only two floors. You get on the elevator (first floor) with other people. Someone else is near the buttons so you politely say, “Three, please.” Try it. I’ve heard it’s fun. Read more
