If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone repeat that damned clichéd quote, I’d turn a profit.

Today’s Life Lesson
“We often add to our pain and suffering by being overly sensitive, over-reacting to minor things, and sometimes taking things too personally.” — Tenzin Gyatso, The 14th Dalai Lama
This is worthy enough for a tattoo on my arm–except that I want to scrub it out of my life. I live this out almost every day. I seem programmed for detailed observation of others, assigning meaning to actions, facial expressions, words, and even silence. I take certain things very seriously and personally even when I shouldn’t. I’ve never had a thick skin, but I’m at least making my thin skin more “elastic” over time. I think that as we grow as adults, we turn off our “give a damn” sensitivity more easily and start shrugging off the things others say and do that used to make us over-react.
Enough about me; what’s your most recent life lesson?

God is Wrong
And here’s why:
Psalm 14:1-3 KJV says: “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
If I save someone’s life, it is good; I prove Yahweh wrong. Furthermore, if I save a life and God chooses not to, then am I not better than a god who does not save lives when it is able?
If you object saying,”Yahweh is using you to do his works,” then Yahweh is using me to do good. So I am doing good. Which means Yahweh is wrong.
Or am I wrong? Let me know in the comments.

I thought Jesus would love the twats…
Some of you have heard me vent a bit about my job and how parts of it don’t suit me. But despite all this, I truly love my coworkers. We have a great comradeship that keeps us sane. One of my favorite people at this job shares a cube wall with me. We like to snark back and forth to keep things chuckly. For instance this morning:
My Fellow Cubedrone: [loudly so everyone can hear] “All people who use twitter should be called twits.”
Me: “How about inserting an ‘a’ instead of ‘i’ in there?”
MFC: [laughing] “This is a Christian company. Maybe you didn’t get the memo.”
hehe ok, maybe you had to be there
