This is Quite Possibly the Oddest Yearbook Cover I’ve Ever Seen

I mean … I GET what they’re saying, “take chances … blah-blah-blah” but seriously?? WHAT were they thinking?

Oh well. I suppose it won’t be one we soon forget, that’s for sure. “Remember the yearbook cover that the class of 2011 had??” 😐

Geez, people.

ADDED: Well, I read through the yearbook – it’s not bad. It’s definitely not a run-of-the-mill yearbook. This is the school’s 40th year and they wanted to do something off-the-wall. I’m not crazy about the changes … but they wanted different – they got different. I just hope next year they go back to the traditional format.

In My Opinion

In My Opinion – May 11, 2011

IMO

So I thought I’d resurrect the video meme I started last year. Why? Because I like to vlog but I never know what to vlog about, so … let’s answer some questions.

Don’t want to vlog? No problem! Just answer the questions either in the comment section or answer them on your own blog and leave a link so I can visit.

If you played, please insert the DIRECT link to your video response below.



Here are the questions for this week:

1. What makes awkward moments so awkward?

2. What’s the biggest challenge you’re currently facing?

3. What do you do to stay healthy?

And here is my video response to these questions:

I had too much fun taping this and I hope you had fun watching it; I also hope my children/grandchildren treasure it someday. Because really, that’s what In My Opinion is all about – leaving a bit of you behind.

Want to ask a specific question? Leave it in the comments and I’ll include it on the next IMO. (I reserve the right to edit the question for content or not use it if it’s too personal. *smile*)


Ready for next week’s questions? Brace yourself …

1. Describe the best live musical performance you’ve ever attended.

2. What scents bring back vivid memories for you?

3. Is the price of gas making you drive less?

Need to know more about this video meme? Check this entry out.

Audio Post: The Balance of Truth and Love: Valuing Right Doctrine and Right Relationships

by John Schoenheit
Knowing what the Bible says, and believing it, is indispensable for healthy living. However, too many Christians who know a lot of the Bible relate to that knowledge in such a way that instead of their knowledge helping them become more like Christ, that is, more loving, kind, and compassionate toward others, the “truth” that they know causes them to separate from others. They find it difficult to be in meaningful relationships with others who do not believe like they do.

This teaching shows that Jesus had both truth and a deep love for others—and the sinners, prostitutes, and tax collectors felt his love and wanted to be around him. Right doctrine did not separate Jesus Christ from sinners and those in the wrong, so why should we be different? This teaching sets forth some keys about how to enter into relationships with those who do not believe as you do.
