A Guide to Pick-up lines for Christians

So, as many of you know, I'm single. I'm about as single as a slice of prepackaged American cheese. I'm quite happy with being single (except for Mondays), but my parents (and anyone else in my life it seems like) is ready for me to be in a relationship. So, in honor of all this, here is a guide of my favorite pick-up lines.

1. Now I know why Solomon had 700 wives...he never met you. (This sounds romantic when you think about it...but also kind of illogical as Solomon lived over 3000 years ago and you live now.)
2. I would slay Goliath for you. (I'm gonna take a Jon Acuff line here: "It's the Bruno Mars of Christian pick-up lines".)
3. I put the stud in Bible study. (Because who doesn't love a little confidence?)
4. I'm not Joshua, but if I walked around you seven times, would you fall for me? (Personally, this is my favorite as it's cheesiness level just might work.)
5. Wanna read the Song of Solomon? (Christian equivalent of asking someone to watch a Nicholas Sparks movie together....I think.)
6.  You make me want to be a better Christian. (Gold right thar.)
7. Are you Jewish, cuz you Israeli pretty. (Only unbelievers don't like puns.)
8. I was reading through the book of Numbers and realized, I don't have yours. (Classic.)
9. Is it hot in here, or is it the Holy Spirit burning within you? (I...have no thoughts on this one. None at all.)
10. Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven? (It's classic, works with unbelievers (which you shouldn't be unequally yoked), and hey, who doesn't want to be referred to as an Angel?)

My top ten favorite Christian pick-up lines. To my Liberty friends, I dare ya to try one of them out. Pass them all to your friends, and hey, at least they are good for laughs. Or maybe you'll get that Ring by Spring.

These are just some of the  inspirations for this fantastic blog.

A Poem for Fall

Autumn, oh Autumn

I look forward to when you come

You leave a kiss every morning

Summer's heat slightly less scorning

Autumn, oh Autumn

I look forward to when you come

The leaves are changing

The color green is waning

Fall colors make a beautiful scene

To the green, until next Spring

I cannot wait for the Summer to be over

Please, dear Autumn, don't come slower

I'm ready for your fine weather

And your power to bring people together

Fall, oh dear sweet fall

Please answer my call.

Misconcep"twin"....or just something about the term "twins."

Let's talk about something that is very common that I just don't get. When people have something in common, they become "twins!" Ya know, something like: "I like such and such color." "OMG, me too! Twins! <3" (Gotta add the heart as well. It's pretty much mandatory these days.) It's sort of funny because it happens a lot as I observe people around me (I'm trying to be like Sherlock. I do a lot of observing now).

If twins are people who have something in common, aren't we all each others twin then? "I woke up this morning!" (Me too! Twins!)

"I breath air." (No way...we're twins!)

"I talk with my mouth." (Twinsies.)

Pretty much, this misconception of the term twin (Hence, misconcep"twin"), can also be commonly seen in the "best friend" term. I do this a lot. I have a ton of things (or just one thing) in common with someone? Let's be best friends! (<3 Don't forget the heart. It's important.) Seriously though, I simply don't get it that once we find something positive or cool about someone, we jump on the opportunity to compare ourselves to it and try to be as similar as possible. Let's get serious for a minute...

"I struggle with a sin/addiction/problem that I have no way of getting over by myself."

It's funny that if we think about it, we are all twins. Romans 3:9b "For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin." 

I'm not a fan of generalization, but I know for myself (and you may agree) that when someone shares a sin or a struggle or anything of the like, we don't go jumping on the opportunity to see that we may struggle with the same thing...we simply suggest another person that can help. No way do we want to be seen with that black mark of sin struggle by someone with the same struggle. We want to appear strong in the eyes of others. All sin is the same. Whatever they are struggling with is probably really similar to what you're struggling with. So, yeah, be there for others basically. We need Jesus's help foremost, but we help each other as well. Chances are, they told you because they want your help and not someone else's.

Just a thought I've been thinking about lately, and wanted to share with all of ya'll. Thanks for your time, and have a wonderful weekend. (Wait, it's the weekend for you too?? Twins!)
