Little blue stickers...

Ever since I was a child I can remember, when eating a banana, first peeling the little blue sticker off of it, sticking it on my forehead, then walking around grinning thinking it was the funniest thing. I've done it a number of times since becoming an adult - my kids don't think I'm just being stupid yet... So, anyway, today in my office, I pick up a banana, peel off the blue sticker (without putting it on my forehead - people might talk) and then look down to read it. It said: "Place sticker on forehead. Smile." I was so profoundly delighted at that moment. I'm apparently not alone. It's good to know someone else understands. Anyone else out there with this weird habit? Anyone know where it started? Maybe a grassroots movement? Maybe it's hard-wired into some special people by God?

Frozen.

Cheers, Phill.

Man. These are a riot! Many thanks to Phill from New Zealand living in London, England...

Here's just one of the many "in 5 seconds" movies on YouTube:

Ancient Path.

Stop. Remember the ancient path. Many have travelled this way. You're not the first. You won't be the last. Yet all who travel this path find the same destination. Rest for the soul.

Do you fear? Even so, legs trembling, knees weak... mark out this path you follow. Others will join you when you least expect it. Their way will be made clearer by your journey.

You may find yourself above the fray on this path of peace and rest. Oh, you'll still be in the thick of it, but it will not dominate you as it did before. This is the pathway of godliness, of the redeemed.

Don't get sidetracked. It can happen. If you must stop again, do it. Remember the old godly way. Regain the path.

These paths are right. These paths are true. They lead to real life. Yes, forever. But now as well.

Magic.

I'm re-reading this amazing play by G.K. Chesterton. You can access and print it here without fear of breaking any copyright laws. It might be well worth your printer's toner and your personal time to print and read this thought-provoking and throroughly entertaining piece of his work.
