Day 12 and 13 of Construction

I'm a little late with writing this. Stuff has been going on pretty much all the time. Busy. Bleh.

So, on January 29, (I think) which would have been Wednesday, the drywall people came to patch up the holes in the ceilings. It took two days, and, honestly, there are still things that didn't get done. But what's new, right?

It did, indeed, snow on the night of January 28th. Plenty of it too; nearly 3 inches, which, for us southerners, is a lot more than we're used to.

On January 30, Thursday, we were out in the camper again after coming back home from taking the sister to work. I had planned on writing this blog post then, but, alas, my laptop charger was in my bedroom, forgotten and unreachable. My battery only had 10% power left. So much for that.

Also on January 30th, the metal/tin/whatever was delivered to our house. At this very moment it sits, lonely, in the driveway around the back of the house, longingly waiting for the roofers to make it part of our house. At least, if metal had feelings, I imagine that's how it would feel. Just spit-balling.

Once again, no idea of the plans for construction this coming week. The forecast, as far as what's been predicted, looks rainy and, possibly, more snow. There may be three days or so that permit work to be done on the house. The insulation has to be put in, the metal/tin/whatever has to be put on the roof, the window has to be installed. And then, of course, there's still the matter of the siding that got melted off the back of the house, the counter that got burned and ruined, and the cabinet that got sliced from the outside with the firefighters axe or whatever it was; it was sharp, so, that's really all that matters.


Note: As a reminder, these posts are mainly a way for me to keep a record of what's been happening with the repairs being made on the house. If, for whatever reason, you find this interesting, that's great! If not, that's fine too. Just don't give up on me so soon. I promise to post more uncomfortably honest blogs that make you wish you hadn't read them, but somehow couldn't help it. ;)

Stay tuned!         

Crazy Things Christians Post On The Internet

Have you ever seen these insane things that some christians post on sites like Facebook or Tumblr or Twitter? I've seen plenty!

Here are 10 that make me shake my head. (With my own commentary.) 

Note: This is meant to be funny, not an attack on anyone. 

1. "'Like' for Jesus, ignore for Satan."
("Crap! I have to 'like' this or else I must be a bad Christian!")

2. "You have 1 new friend request from Jesus."
(They're thinking: "Yeah, let's throw him in their faces!" That will save their souls!)

3. "Honk if you love Jesus. Text and drive if you want to see him."
(Do I really need to comment on this?)

4. "For real change, vote Jesus into your life."
(Oh yeah! Jesus for president!)

5. "Type 'Yes' if Jesus is welcome in your home!!!"
(Because if you don't that must mean he isn't and he'll get offended if you ignore this post!)

6. *Picture of Jesus in glasses.* Caption reads - "I had followers before Twitter."
(Hipster + Christian = Fail.)

7. "Will you pray for the homeless? 'Like' - Yes. Ignore - No."
(And, of course, there is always a picture of someone in dirty, ragged clothing who looks as if they haven't eaten in a month; you know, to help guilt-trip you into "liking" or commenting on the post.)

8. "Please don't scroll down without typing 'Amen!' YOUR 'AMEN' WORKS!!!"  
(Apparently the word "Amen" is a miracle worker.)

9. "Type 'Me' if Jesus is your Life today!"
(Yeah, because, I mean, it's all about ME, right?)

10. *Picture of someone's hand holding a cell phone with Jesus' face on the screen.* Caption reads - "'Can we video chat, my child?' Type 'Yes' or 'No.'"
(Didn't you know Jesus has the iPhone 5s?)


So, there it is; crazy things some christians post on the internet.

Share if you thought it was funny. Ignore if you hate kittens.
