... about How to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity


Hey, these are good. I robbed them from a pastor's website that I get every month.
Nothing too serious today. And I shouldn't have to say this but don't take these seriously...

1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "In."
5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
6. In the memo field of all your checks, write "For Smuggling Diamonds."
7. Finish all your sentences with "In Accordance With the Prophecy."
8. Don't use any punctuation
9. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
10. Order a "Diet Water" whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.
11 Specify that your drive-through order is "To Go."
12. Sing along at the opera.
13. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme
14. Put mosquito netting around your work area and play tropical sounds all day.
15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.
16. Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling name.
17. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won! I Won!"
18. When leaving the zoo, start running toward the parking lot yelling, "Run for your lives -- they're loose!"
19. Tell your children over dinner: "Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."
20. And the final way to keep a healthy level of insanity . . .


With some of us having more stressful and demanding jobs than others, these funnies bring up an interesting question to consider: how do you get through your day? Humor? Prayer?

Have you seen this book:

Walking with God on the Road You Never Wanted to Travel
by Mark Atteberry

It has a chapter in it that would fit well with your current preaching series. I saw your post on Mike Cope's blog.

I'm kinda curious what your wrestler name is, Jim.

You know, just case I am required to call you by it one day.
