  • Help me tell a story …

    We did this once a long time ago. I’m going to start a story, then you add to it. Here are the rules:

    1. You can only write up to three sentences at a
      time. Once someone writes something after you, then you can write up to
      three sentences more.
    2. You can write as solemnly, seriously, humorously or ludicrously as you want to.
    3. The
      story doesn’t have to make any sense, so you don’t have to follow the
      plot of those that have gone before, but you can if you want to.
    4. No sex or profanity. Nothing demonic, occultic, etc. We’re family friendly here in Spiderdad land.
    5. Please hit the link to recommend this post. The more people that contribute, the more fun we’ll have.

    Here is the start of the story:

    Since Frosty was gone, and no amount of snow repacking would bring him back, Leo realized sadly that the only thing he could do now was to eat Frosty’s carrot nose.

  • Fireworks!

    I still think this guy must spy on Bev and me! 

  • I’m back …

    We just got back from a week of vacation at the beach in Wildwood, NJ. Very nice time. I’ve been pretty absent lately for that reason, but I hope to talk to you all soon.

  • Iron Man movie

    They do a good job with this. 

  • Is there a specific epithet, slang term or curse word that you absolutely cannot stand?

    This is funny, because if there was a swear word/racial slur/insult I couldn’t stand, why oh why would I want to type it into my blog?!

    Come on, Xanga! You’ve got to think through these things without our help!

       

    I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

  • Are men and women different?

    I asked this the other day and got a few pretty good comments. If you want my opinion, download the mp3 and check it out. This is the sermon I preached on Father’s/Fathers’/Fathers Day. If you want to hear any of the other messages, you can go here.

    And yes, I did quote theblackspiderman’s very excellent observation.

  • Guess who’s sick today.

    I’ll give you a hint. It’s me. 

  • Riddle me this, Xanga-man (or woman)

    Here are two questions related to what I’ll  be preaching about tomorrow (Fathers’ Day):

    1. Are men and women really different, or is it just culture and environment that make them seem that way?
    2. The Bible refers to God as “Father”, “He”, etc. Is God male, or does He have female characteristics as well?

    I’ll be interested to hear your answers to either or both these questions.
