Minneapolis, Pugslyville, and Heaven

By Ryan, August 2, 2007

In Minnesota last night, a bridge on I-35 collapsed over the Mississippi River. Nobody could avoid the fall... whoever was on the bridge at the time was lucky to see anything ever again. Something similar happened in eastern Oklahoma about 5 years ago over Memorial Day weekend.

On a VeggieTales episode called “The Toy that Saved Christmas,” a toy and some cute little penguins were able to save Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber, Junior Asparagus, and Wallie P. Nezzer from falling off the broken bridge to Pugslyville. Makes some people wish that penguins were native to downtown Minneapolis or rural Oklahoma, you know?

Everyone who grew up in a Baptist church has heard the bridge illustration before, so I won’t even dive into making Jesus look like a short little penguin or a Buzzsaw Louie. But the bridge and penguins and shop-tool-armed toys are useless to someone who doesn’t know Jesus... at least in this illustration. It’s our duty to share Jesus with people who haven’t met him yet, and Ezekiel 3 says that we will be held accountable for the opportunities we pass up to do so.

 Kristin P:

then why you talking to me now lol

 Justin:

God forgives...

 Kristin P:

thankfully... randmo quote but FISH ARE FRIEDS NOT FOOD

 Ryan:

Kristin, Justin, it’s your blatent disregard for spelling rules and the difference between “your” and “you’re” that I fear will ultimately lead to my death by insanity.

 Ryan:

And you can’t blame all your problems on me for being a perfectionist. I think I should do a free class devoted entirely to teaching BASIC ENGLISH SKILLS. You know I still love you guys, but you could at least meet me half way by learning the following:

YOUR = belongs to you
YOU’RE = you + are

ITS = belongs to it
IT’s = it + is

THERE = in that direction
THEIR = belongs to them
THEY’RE = they + are

Any others I can help clarify? :-)

 Kristin P:

lol Ryan what would we do with out your correct spellings? You're always there it's awesome.

 Justin:

Wow, if you ever become a teacher, I want to come to your class. You're amazing. It's only my fate that I can't use your skills, since I never really understood it. FHS and their teachers are awesome, but they're never going to be able to teach me like you just did. So, next time I see you in person, I want to thank you right there on the spot.

How did I do Ryan?

 Kristin P:

lol What would we do with out you?

 Kristin P:

hey justin! GUESS WHAT!!

 Justin:

WHAT!!

 Kristin P:

I dunno i for got cause you posted 4 days to late. lol

 Justin:

grrrrrrr...

 Kristin P:

lol... Still dont remember but it was really really importante

 Ryan:

Which is more important? What you wanted to say, or the correct spelling of “too?”

TOO = amount
TWO = a number between 1 and 3
TO = directional (or part of verb)

 Ryan:

Example: TWO hours is TOO long a time TO spend driving TO the store.

 Kristin P:

HAHA I didnt see that

 Justin:

lol...

 Kristin P:

Well I didn't

 Justin:

I see that.

 Kristin P:

You physically may not have died, but you did loose a few things in your head, or is it that all long horn fans are born that way?
