Carey's leftovers
- “Vanilla Extract” sounds like something you could drink. But don’t try it.
- If your child’s shoe size keeps increasing rapidly, before you buy new shoes, make sure and check his toenails.
- I bought a day-planner. When I got to September, it reminded me to re-order pages for the next year. Do I really need this much lead time to buy a calendar?
- I'll bet a marine biologist could make a killing right now with a book called "The Porpoise-Driven Life."
- I saw a promotional ad for this writing contest. It said, “There is a book inside of you – waiting to come out.” Umm -- Ouch?
- I work out of a home office. I like it because I can sit there in my underwear and work. I used to work at Chili’s, but they didn’t like that at all.

WOW!
James 1:2-3
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Having your child fly through a car windshield probable isn't what James had in mind, but the sermon is radical to open eyes.
I'd have to agree with Mary. Something we all need to hear. It hurts to hear it, but helps bring reality to our sheltered lives.

This clip was from the sermon he gave at UCF in Birmingham, AL which I attended. This was one of the highlights of this sermon back in 2005 and really pushes us to think, Do we really believe Genesis 50:20 "Man meant it for evil, but God meant it for good"? It's always good to hear others sharing this powerful message from Piper around to others.
