| okay, the peanut gallery seems to be ganging up on the rhino...just when i was gonna have a "name the rhino" contest!
Looks like none of y'all are gonna' get to vote!
I wonder if I can change my username to lostfrog? or would I have to start completely over?
where shall i go? what shall I do?
I'm debating bowing to the whim of the few and updating to a diff. picture.... but then the rhino in me wants to give all y'all the finger of fate!
round and round i go--where i stop nobody knows... | | |
| yeah, well i said i was burning them, not smoking them... | | |
| okay, i didnt' actually understand what steve said about adding the link completely, but all things in time...or actually not all, but some...
it's really funny or actually ironic that i posted a picture of a rhino on my blog cause i've been reading this book, The Barbarian Way buy McManus and it's great and scary and exhilirating (sp?) and challenging and whatever, but it really makes me sorry for the church-shaped box i've put God in for all my life...anyway, this book has had this really cool graphic that looked like three rhino heads (not a three-headed rhino). I thought it would be a really cool tattoo if I ever wanted a tattoo, but I digress...after I accidentally picked a picture of a rhino from iphoto on my cool new computer (imac g5 20" cinema display) i read the chapter in the book where McManus (who by the way is Phil Ayres' new Jedi Master) describes a group of Barbarians acting in concert as a "crash" of rhinos (that's what it's called--even if they're standing still). evidently a rhino can run like 30mph which is faster than a squirrel (28mph) and a heck of a lot more dangerous.
problem is...a rhino has really, really good speed, but crappy eyesight...they can only see like 30 feet in front of them!
But here's the rub...they run at full speed anyway which either means they're fearless, extremely stupid or both (which is quite the combination when you weigh more than a 73 buick impala.
the hook is that as "barbarian christians" we should be like rhinos who run headlong into whatever the future holds for us in our cause to represent Christ to those around us and beyond. we don't know what's 31 feet in front of us, but God does and has equipped us as his reprenentatives, children and followers to deal with whatever...it's not always good, but we'll survive the fall...even the sudden stop at the bottom.
So, there you have it....i am not the walrus....i am the rhino... coo coo ka choo...
gotta go, i'm burnin my hash browns... | | |
| okay, I figured out the picture thing and no that's not me, by the way, my name is James. | | |
