We all do it. Every so often, we all get the urge.
Honk that horn!
Or, maybe it’s just me?
I was driving along the other day and some random guy was holding a sign (that he had made with a black marker and cardboard) and all it said was “honk for good weather!” I laughed, honked, and then thought “I like honking my horn and I should do it more.” That also got me thinking about a few other things, like bumper stickers telling you to honk for something or just signs (maybe around election time) that say to honk for a candidate.
What kind of things have you seen telling you to honk for them, or what are some funny ones you have inevitably thought of after honking at one?
A child was asked to write a book report on the entire Bible. I wonder how often we take for granted that children understand what we are teaching? I teach a 4 & 5 year old Sunday school class and I’ll have to keep this in mind for the next class. Through the eyes of a child:
The Children’s Bible in a Nutshell
In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, ‘The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that.
Anyway, God said, ‘Give me a light!’ and someone did. Then God made the world.
He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren’t embarrassed because mirrors hadn’t been invented yet.
Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden……Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn’t have cars.
Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel.

I was at Panera this morning, ordering my breakfast sandwich and coffee while enjoying the sample slices of Cinnamon Crunch bagels they provide when I overhead an older gentleman talking on his cell phone (and by older, I mean in his later 50’s and possibly into his 60’s). I didn’t take much of a notice other than he was talking while ordering his food. This in itself was rude, but what caught my attention the most is when he hung up after ordering and he was using an iPhone 3G S.
Now, as many people know, I am not the biggest Apple/Mac fan; I really don’t notice the “major difference” in operation or quality of the devices. But, I am willing to concede that their iPhone has surpassed many boundaries that other devices have not and that their marketing tactics are apparently working quite well. Apple has been able to steal so much mobile device market share from other contenders (such as RIM/Blackberry or Microsoft) that those companies are reacting with slashing prices and adjusting their technology. Too little too late… Even with talks of Verizon having an iPhone Lite on shelves before the end of year are more speculation and good-wishing than reality.

I’m sure you do it too (I know I do, every so often)…you’re driving along the freeway, traffic slows, and the first thought is an accident. But, no; not in So Cal.The chances of the accident being on your side of the freeway are very slim. Most likely, traffic is coming to a complete halt because some lookie loos have to stop in the middle of the road, turn their heads away from traffic, and look at the more than likely fender-bender in the shoulder of the opposite side of the freeway. Then, as a chain reaction, all traffic must slow and as they have nothing else to do, they themselves become lookie loos.
I’ve made a decision: when traffic slows on my side of the freeway and my live-updater tells me the accident is on the opposite side, I WILL NOT turn and look. I will not stoop to becoming a lookie loo. I will not.
Today’s non-Point: DO NOT be a lookie loo. See, that was easy.
