I have an interview to prepare for the Geek Orthodox Podcast.
I am have a dinner to pack for work tonight.
I am so glad I took some time to play dinosaurs instead.
All that other stuff will still get done. It always does. God will give me strength to do it. I just had to realize that he was giving me a moment to make memories as well. 5 years from now I won’t remember what my sermon was about, or what comic I was drawing, or how messy the living room was. I’ll remember this.
Take some time today to do what you should instead of what you “need” to.
This is the video clip I used to introduce my topic. The sermon audio is right below it.
Matthew 25:14-30 (NIV)
14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’
21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’
23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’
26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
28 “‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
In today’s episode we talk about why we are obsessed with super powers, and what we would do if we actually had them! (among other things)
Below is the survey about super powers we reference in the podcast where people talk about what super powers they would want

Okay, so I know this movie has been out FOREVER already, and you’ve probably seen it WEEKS ago! I don’t even know why you’re reading this! But we had a freakin’ baby like 2 days before the movie came out so when were we supposed to see it, huh? HUH? I also fully acknowledge that this is Friday and not Tuesday, but I went with the name “Reviews Day” anyway because “Refriday” sounds like a weekly meal deal at a burrito place…which we also got last night… Also I already have a “reviews day” category on this blog and I’ll be darned if I have to click an extra box to post this!
So, Sarah and I had rather lofty ambitions yesterday as we got a sitter for the older boys and tried to go see the Hobbit with Smudge and all his baby gear. He needed to nurse like right before we left cause he’s a baby or something, and they need to eat lots or something; whatever, I’m not a “scientist” okay? Anyway we got there a bit late so when we walked in some stuff was happening and we didn’t know what was going on but we’re pretty sure it was a “previously on, The Hobbit” kind of shpeel. Anyway, they find a bear man, the orcs do their thing, and then they get lost in the woods, and that’s when we realized that it was a bad idea to bring a baby to the movie theater even with his comically oversized noise cancelling ear protectors, so we got our money back and left.
Oh, there was some spiders and stuff too. It was pretty boss.
Here is a picture I drew of the movie. you can’t see Bilbo because he’s got his ring on.
Overall I give it 5 stars for the first 15 minutes. Although when we left I was like “I need to re-read the book so I can know what to be mad about”
