Razzle dazzle, man.

I'm reading a book that has me literally L(ing)OL every day!  If you are a Christian and you have been around other Christians or in church, this book will make you crack up!  It's not poking fun at Christians, but it is.  In a fun way.  All groups of people have things they do that are familiar.  Stereotypes, maybe it's called.  The book is called "Stuff Christians Like" by Jonathan Acuff.  There is also a blog that is super funny at stuffchristianslike.net. 

Laughing at yourself is healthy.  Laughing at your own stereotypes can be healthy, too.  So, I want to share with you the funniest thing I've read in the book thus far.  At least funniest to me.  You may read it and find something funnier, but that's your humor, not mine.  Get your own blog! 

Have you ever had a problem and sought out someone and asked them to pray for you?  As Christians we usually say, "Yes, I'll pray for you."  But do you really?  Sometimes we just say that to make people feel better.  Or we say it when we can't think of anything else to say.  How about instead of saying we'll pray for someone and not doing it, that we just start saying something else.  Next time your friend comes to you with a prayer request and you know you won't be making time to pray for them, just say, "Razzle dazzle, man.  Razzle dazzle." It should be awkwardly funny to say the least. 

Or if you are uncomfortable with that, maybe try actually making time to pray for your friend.  It's amazing the things God will do when we pray for His intervention!  Razzle dazzle, man.  Razzle dazzle.
