Yeah, I can see effeminate, but it sounds more childish the effeminate. It sounds like "time out" or "go to your room." like it's a punishment for something. Quiet time never made me want to read my Bible. It just made me want to sleep or start a fire in my room or something. It was boring as hell. Quiet time! what a drag!
All times of personal devotion shall henceforth be known as "loud man time" and shall include (but are not limited to) 2 derogatory references to Hillary Clinton, 1 prayer for the effeminate weakness of the New Living Translation, and 6-7 prayers (of varied nature and duration) that Bonnie will be vigilant and not let Mark burn down their house.
I notice that we went straight from quiet time to "stand up and fight" and "start a fire in my room." What about middle ground, like eating breakfast or reading the news? I realize these are rather mundane activities for people who think pugnacity is an abstract virtue ( I'm not clear on who we're supposed to fight, TIm? Or why?), or for people who light fires when they're nervous, but they seem to work for most folks. Maybe you should try these first?
dLOUD MAN TIME!!! YEAH! HENCEFORTH IT SHALL BE CALLED! OR YELLED! OR BELTED! DOWN WITH QUIET TIME!
Let's start making man laws. We may not have a round table and a big book to make man laws in like Bert Reynolds and Triple H and the other guys but we have this blog! This could Work!
Man Law #1 - Quiet times will no longer be held by men. (the new name for quiet time must be voted on by Nov. 5 2006. Please give us input on what you think the new "quiet time" will henceforth be called.
Name #1 - Loud Man Time - I like this name but it may lead to violence. I would therefore like to purpose another name....
Name #2 - Leadership Development Time. If we can come up with a latin term for this that would be great. Post it if you know it.
I don't know what Burt Reynolds and Triple H have to do with "man-law", but I personally like Perseverance Through the Word.
"When we are foiled, let us believe we shall overcome; when we have fallen, let us believe we shall rise again. Jacob, after he received a blow which made him lame, yet would not give over wrestling (Gen. 32:25) till he had obtained the blessing. So let us never give up, but, in our thoughts knit the beginning, progress and end together, and then we shall see ourselves in heaven out of the reach of all enemies."
