I'm Sorry....WHAT?!?

Ok, so sometimes when you are in a different place, you see things that don't quite make sense to you. Well try this....

As I was passing a pub that is right down the street,
I saw a man who was already inside,
come to the front door,
crack it,
lean outside,
light his cigarette,
and then walk back inside to exhale a large puff of smoke!

Isn't the point of going outside to smoke the cigarette? not just to light it? And why didn't he just light it inside?

Guess I'll never know! haha

To Yahweh

In January, I went to a conference in Germany and was able to share some stories with other people who are doing jobs very similar to mine. It is always very encouraging to hear others struggles and victories and hear how similar they are to your own. But I thought this was one of the more interesting stories....enjoy.

A couple of our friends, also living in France, have recently been meeting a lot of new friends. During a discussion with one of their new friends his tattoo came up. He has a tattoo on his forearm that in Hebrew says "To Yahweh" which he explained means "Belonging to God".

The new friend turned to my friends wife and asked "Does that bother you?"

"Excuse me?" She was a little confused cause she had never been asked that question.

"Does that bother you that his tattoo says he belongs to someone else? Shouldn't it say he belongs to You?"

Hmmm, So I ask...

Who do you belong to?
