Some Joel Stuff

Joel ate a 'You are what you eat' fridge magnet last weekend. Which seems an ironic and poetic sentence upon the arrogant magnet for being so cocky.

Also his list of bizarre foods has been expanded somewhat - he's eaten raw compost, blue pool cue chalk, chunks of his bath sponge, cat food, and the black cushiony felt that goes on toddler swings in the play park. Gross.

He's taken to wandering around saying 'bug-a-bug-a-bug-a-bug-a', and also said 'Billion Milligan Butt-Gun' for no good reason the other day, which has to be a name of a band in the future, or there is simply no justice in the world.

I only believe in God so I can get into Heaven

I don't want to know if people are dying
I don't want to know if hell is real
I don't want to know that my creature comforts
Could be sacrificed to save somebody's life

I only believe in God so I can get into Heaven
So my comfortable life can carry on forever

I don't want to hear that God might not want me
To always be secure or live my dreams
I don't want a God who makes me a servant
Who doesn't want to make me rich or thin

Don't tell me I'm not entitled to the things I've always wanted
I'd rather die still trying, than give them up and live

I only believe in God so I can get into Heaven
So my comfortable life can carry on forever

I don't want to give any time or money
'Cause I just want to live to please myself
I'll die for my faith so you'll think I'm a hero
But I won't do a thing unless it profits me

I'll give Him an hour on a Sunday morning
And He should be grateful for this kingly sacrifice
I only believe in God so I can get into Heaven
So my comfortable life can carry on forever

Rev 3:15-17, 20-21
I know your works; you are neither cold not hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spit you out of my mouth. For you say 'I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing.' You do not realize that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind and naked.
Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to eat with you and you with me. To the one who conquers I will give a place on my throne, just as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
