A Quote from Corky

10 Things "Seen" on Facebook

Whenever I wake up on my own, I am automatically thrown in a panic of whether or not I slept through my alarm.

It’s time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside.

I try to live every day as though it were my last, and who wants to do laundry on the last day they’re alive?

Remember when multiplication was fun? It was the best of times.

Life is not fair, but life is not fair for everyone. So I guess that actually makes it fair.

On my first day of school my parents dropped me off at the wrong nursery. There I was… surrounded by trees and bushes.

I used to be in a band called ‘Missing Dog’. You probably saw our posters.

It bothers me when I see tax money wasted on signs telling deer where to cross the road.

Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun.

Say no to drugs. Although if you’re talking to drugs you may already be on drugs.

10 Things I've "Heard" on Facebook

Yesterday was National Day of the Ninja and I was completely unaware of it. Well played Ninja Day… well played.


When I think about how much time I’ve spent on Facebook, I wonder how many miles I’ve scrolled on my mouse wheel.


It’s cute how the outdoors try to compete with the internet.


First 5 days after the weekend are always the hardest.


If something cool happens and you don’t share it on Facebook, did it actually happen?


Want to really freak someone out? Add 2 extra turkey legs to the turkey while it’s in the oven.


Whatisthelongbuttonatthebottomofthekeyboardfor?


Common sense is so rare it should be classified as a super power.


It’s amazing the places I will wander to in my house while I talk on the phone.


If you ever get caught sleeping on the job… slowly raise your head and say, “In Jesus name, amen.”

An Ounce of Gold

"If you search through the whole Bible, there is not one sin that God has more followed with plagues than idolatry. The Jews have a saying, that in every evil that befalls them, there is an ounce of the golden calf in it."
Thomas Watson

Peter Marshall Quote

This year, Lord willing, I plan on posting a thought provoking quote every Sunday as an added feature. These are taken from my other blog Facets of Grace. They, hopefully, will serve as a needed reminder and edify those who follow or visit.

Links Within

For all who know this already...just wait outside while I make this announcement. I don't assume anything with anyone anymore. (I have been slowly learning this blogging thing since November of last year. I should know more, but I don't always care.)

You can click on the words and phrases below and it will give you all the series or similar postings the key word registers. For the Tulip and Grenade cartoons, click on "grenade", for The Journal of Cotton Adams, click on "cotton adams", etc.

Go ahead, try it. When I get time, I will try and improve on these. Thanks for listening.

The staff of Calvinistic Cartoons (which consists of one)

This photo has nothing to do with anything, really...

Let me mention while I am at it, that the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT will be posted here next week. Lord willing. Stay tuned and please drive carefully.
