Fast Food Fun

10 Fast Food Screw Ups


1. Ask for last months specials.

2. Place your order in three different languages if you don't know any, make them up.

3. When they repeat your order totally change it. Repeat as desired.

4. Order a whopper from McDonalds, when they say they don't have whoppers insist that they do. If they still argue demand to see a manager then when you talk to them order a normal meal and say i don't know what's up with kids these days.

5. Go to any burger joint and order Chinese.

6. When ordering in the drive through, ask if its happy hour on draft beer.

7. In summer turn stereo up full volume to Christmas music while ordering in drive through.

8. Drive in the drive through, park, then go inside and order.

9. Go through the drive through in reverse, again.

10. Wait for the busiest time of day, after paying get out of car, get jack out of trunk and proceed to rotate tires.

The Esau Syndrome

The Esau Syndrome

A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. —Luke 6:45

It has been said that in an average day, from morning to night, we speak enough words to fill a book of about 50 or 60 pages. In an average year, our words could fill 100 books consisting of 200 pages.

But I don't think it is necessarily a good thing to say so much, because the Bible says we will be held accountable for everything we say. Jesus said, "And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak" (Matthew 12:36).

Our words determine where our hearts are. Jesus also said, "What you say flows from what is in your heart" (Luke 6:45). If your heart is hard, then it will show by what you say. If you are bitter, then you will find yourself talking about it, because bitter people love to spread it around.

Watch out for the Esau syndrome. Hebrews 12:15-16 warns, "...Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many. Make sure that no one is immoral or godless like Esau, who traded his birthright as the firstborn son for a single meal." Esau traded away God's lifelong gift to satisfy a short-term appetite. The weeds of bitter discontent can ruin a whole garden in no time.

If your heart is filled with bitterness, then it will come out in your words. And if your heart is filled with lust, that will come out in your words as well. For some people, everything is a sexual innuendo or a double entendre. Everything they say seems to have a sexual connotation.

But if you have a heart that is filled with grace and love and wisdom from God's Word, that, too, will come out. And that should be the goal of every believer.

Naye Varsha Ki Shubhkamanyen!!!! (Happy New Year)

I am not feeling creative today, busy packing and trying to get things organized, so I saw this when checking my email, from my wonderful friend Sharon, and decided to share.

May you always make the right moves.


May your cup runneth over with love.


May you always find shelter from any storm.



May you remain good looking and looking good!



May you find the perfect diet for your soul.
(If this face doesn't make you want to stop eating bacon, nothing will.)



May you find perfect balance in the company you keep.




May you have as much fun as you can before someone makes you stop.



May the worst thing that happens to you come in slobbery pink and furry tan.



May you manage to make time for siesta.



May all the new folks you meet be interesting and kind.



May your accessories always harmonize with your natural beauty!



Should your mouth be bigger than your stomach, may you have a chewing good time!



May you always know when to walk away and know when to run.



And may your friends always bring you joy!


MAY YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR
FILLED WITH LOVE, HAPPINESS, AND HOPE. (and bacon!)
