I'm getting ready to write my 700th blog post. Uh, yeah, didn't think it'd actually go this far. Thanks for being my stress relief. Really can't believe there are people out there that read this stuff...
I've taken some heat in recent weeks for my posts... evidently some of you were disturbed by the post describing Eight Belles being euthanized, or how the polar bears are becoming extinct, or how I may be voting for Obama (wait, was I being serious about that?)
Honestly, if you think that stuff is crazy, you should see the stuff I write but chicken out on posting...
In honor of the stuff I've never said, I present to you the titles of ten blog posts I've written but never published:
10) Seeking Madonna
Tongue in cheek look at the concert photo of Queen of Pop... on a cross wearing a crown of thorns. Ten years ago Christians would have been up in arms over this. Today, Madonna is "seeking Christ..."
9) Why I Didn't Get Shot By The Cop
Dennis Miller (not at all inappropriate) quote relating to my unexpected encounter...
8) When Quitting Is Okay
Parallel Seth Godin's book "The Dip" to Green Bay Packer's Brett Favre's retirement.
7) Jeff's Voicemail Greeting
What my voicemail message should say...
6) Raising Your Ebenezer?
Weird line from the old hymn "Come Thou Fount." If I posted this, you'd understand what an Ebenezer is...
5) Amy's Celebrity Lookalikes
Evidently my wife is a cross of Kelly Clarkson & Merryl Streep. Yeah, think about that for a while.
4) Running on Empty (or what I've learned about God by watching my dog)
self explanatory, don't you think?
3) The More I Serve God, The Worse My Life Is
Someone actually ended up on my blog by Googling this phrase... so of course I decided to write a blog post about it...
2) What have you done for me lately?
...or why a Thai restaurant should not be proud they won an award for the best Thai restaurant in Miami in 1997... and none since then...
1) Success?
How does a business doing ministry judge success? Salvations? P&L Statements? Testimonials?
Sorry I've been on a more comical/satirical streak lately. I'll solemn up soon...
Side note: let me know which of the above you'd like to read... I may get the courage to post some of them.
Oh, 1), please! But I think I might be even more interested in WHAT is "success" and SHOULD a ministry be judging it?
Oh, and 3). (For me, it has not been serving God, but serving the church, that has been a problem.)
Can't wait to see what you end up posting. I enjoy reading your blog.

Why don't you set up your instant poll for this one? Two birds....
