Just what it says…General
2 Manny I Ron’s
Funny, when I write it out that way it doesn’t seem that bad! But, that is the state I often find myself in – through no one’s fault but my own!
Oh well…
If you’ve ever wondered, the phrase comes from blacksmiths putting bars of iron in the fire to get them hot enough to work with. The smith had to be aware of the status of the iron and if he had too many to keep track of, it could be a big problem!
Are you a “2 Manny I Ron’s” -type person too?
I was on a business trip this week and goofed around with my iPhone and a few apps…
On the flight out, I finally watched Inception…thus the first video:
Ever the TiltShift user, I goofed around with a TiltShift Video app I downloaded. Two views (portrait and landscape) from my hotel room one afternoon:

I’ve been in the Washington D.C. area this week and the weather improved this afternoon, so I took a walk over to Georgetown for dinner.
An old Georgetown sign located at 1351 Wisconsin Avenue Northwest caught my eye as I was walking. I snapped a picture and later goofed around with some of the filters on an iPhone app.
The original, unedited version is the first shot in the first group of images – original, un-cropped version at bottom.
My favorite filters are the fourth one from the left in the first grouping and the first one from the right in the second group.

This year, I’m reading through the Bible using a historical plan. It’s a plan where the “order of the Old Testament readings is very similar to Israel’s Hebrew Bible, progressing from Law to Prophets to Writings. The New Testament ordering is based upon research regarding the order in which the books were authored.” I thought it would be interesting…
This bit of trash talk caught my eye this morning as I was reading in Judges.
I’m reading from the NIV, but loved the way it reads in The Message paraphrase:
Zebul said, “Where is that big mouth of yours now? You who said, ‘And who is Abimelech that we should take orders from him?’ Well, there he is with the troops you ridiculed. Here’s your chance. Fight away!”
Gaal went out, backed by the leaders of Shechem, and did battle with Abimelech. Abimelech chased him, and Gaal turned tail and ran.

Great post and reminder by Nathan Sutliff over at Contemplative Creativity.

That tweet is a gut check on motive and mission, not only in relation to the drastic situation in Japan, but also in our everyday lives as followers of Christ.
It’s often only after we are seen as someone who genuinely loves and is concerned with a person’s basic needs that we will be afforded the privilege of presenting the Gospel.
What’s your reaction to the tweet and Nathan’s post?
This made me smile the other day and forever changed my reaction to “Careless Whisper” – which was “meh” before and now ranks a smile and probably outright laughter.
