I heard a few words today that made me chuckle a little, only because it’s been years and years since I’d heard them used semi seriously.
The two that I heard were “Backslide” and “Stumble”… I don’t think I’ve heard those since high school chapel in the the gym.
Are their any Christian Cliché’s that make you chuckle when you hear them?
Im not trying to discredit these words true meaning, but the fact that their Cliché makes them funny
Today I was approached by a guy in a Marines uniform. He came up all casual and started to talk about my scooter and seemed kind of interested in what it was all about. I was wrong, he was more interested in me.
I had no idea I still looked like I might have just gotten out of High School, or at least personified a personality of aimless wonderer. We started to talk and he quickly changed the subject from the scooter to the military. His first mistake was asking me when I graduated High School. I’ll give him credit because the instant he finished that question he must have read the look on my face and realized it was about the dumbest thing he could have asked.
I must have had a look of minor distaste in my expression because he quickly added, “at least a few years right”. Me, “Actually it’s been over ten years”. (with a small chuckle) Honestly I didn’t see this coming. I just assumed he was actually interested in my scooter.
In the end I had to tell him that I’ve been around long enough to know that I would never join the service and that I just didn’t have the personality.
I’m glad their are people out their willing to join the service and I’m glad that people are willing to do what ever it is that service guys do, but it’s not for me. I’ve just always thought that I wouldn’t have to explain that. This was the first time I’ve ever been approached by anyone trying to get me interested in the service. Unfortunately for this guy he’s not very good at reading his opponent, and I honestly think I might have been older than he was.
Just got done with a small break, I finished up Hot Fuzz. This movie is pretty funny, You should check it out…
