I've seen the light

How many evolutionists does it take to change a light bulb?
One, but it takes 8 million years.

About nine months ago I did a bathroom remodel to make it wheelchair accessible. The tile guys messed up and put wall tile on the floor. They called a couple of months later to admit their mistake and say that code required that they take it out and replace it with floor tile. The husband passed away in December. This week they finally got back in to do the replacement, but the wife insisted that I be the one to take out and put back in the toilet and very expensive vanity I installed last fall as part of the remodel. So I did the removal Tuesday morning, they finished the tile job yesterday, and today I did the re-install of the toilet and vanity. I also put back the shower doors that came out so his wheelchair could roll into the shower.
That turned out to be way more complicated than it should have been and take more time than I could have imagined. It's a fancy shower door system with more parts than any shower door should have, and I lacked any instructions. It was like putting a puzzle back together without knowing what the finished picture looks like. But it's done, she's happy, and the bathroom looks good.

How many people with ADD does it take to change a light bulb?
I just found a new recipe for apple pie.

I have a minor in Hebrew but I remember almost nothing. The vocab is nearly impossible and the verb system, though relatively straightforward, eluded me from the get-go. I can sound out words and remember a few, but that's about it.
For reasons I can't explain, Greek stuck with me. The vocab is easier because many of our English words derive from the Greek - like anthropos, which means man. The verb system, much more complicated than Hebrew's, comes back to me, too.
All of that to say that our sermon series in James allows me the opportunity to do the early portions of my prep from my Greek NT, something I really enjoy. It's not a mystical thing..."I'm reading it in the language it was written in." It's because Greek is a great language. That complex verb system means Greek communicates in ways English can't. And this week's passage, built around the word dokimadzo, is a case in point. We have the concept behind that word, but no word to describe it; it takes a whole phrase and even that does it poorly.

How many mystery writers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Two. One to screw it almost all the way in and one to give it a surprising twist at the end.

I'm pretty ticked. Coke has stopped selling their product, including Diet Coke, in 24 oz. plastic bottles. They're gone; none on the shelves anywhere here. Instead, they've gone to a puny 16 oz. bottle. That's only four ounces more than a can! What's the point?
The worst part? They're selling the 16 oz. bottle for the same price they used to have on the 24 oz. bottle.
Forget MLB. This deserves Congressional hearings!
If 24 oz. bottles are still available where you live let me know and I'll drive in and load up Stealth Reliabity.

How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb?
That's not funny, pig!
