The more people I meet, the more I am entertained by the idiosyncrasies that make us ‘us’. I find great delight in learning the weird things that people share in common. Here’s an example for the ladies: how many of you stick your hair on the wall of the shower? Growing up sister-less, I seriously thought I was the only one in the world who did that! And then I move into a room with 7 girls, thank you YWAM, and suddenly there’s hair ALL OVER THE SHOWER WALL. How many of these humbling human antics have I yet to discover in my friends? The topic of this post is another example of something we all are guilty of doing, sometimes in secret.
I’m talking about Google searches.
I will openly confess to Googling my own name multiple times. I’ll take a wild guess that most of you have as well. But what else do people waste their time away Googling? All kinds of things. And I have proof. One of my favourite parts of this blog is the Statistics section. Whether I’ve written a recent blog or not, I check the Stats all the time because it is so amusing. This post is dedicated to those of you who have ended up on my page from search engines. Forgive me if this feels like mockery but I feel that as long as you are anonymous, you are fair game. Trust me, I would love to know who some of you are, especially those who have ended up here in search of serious answers, guidance, prayer, whatever.
Just for fun, here’s a few of the searches:
- Ron Gollner [I'm surprised they didn't run a search for 'ron gollner's biceps']
- Tabitha Neal photos [don't forget to lock your door at night, dear]
- discipline corsets [praise God I actually have a blog on this, otherwise I'd be worried!]
- why isn’t Misty Edwards in the prayer room [she's on a sabbatical]
- vocal chords in dreams [I would love to hear this dream]
- deep mysterious prayer [mm hmm]
- jason cruz bithday [I have to wonder if this was a high schooler doing a research paper, or did his mother-in-law forget his birthday?]
- rob bell go get the starfish [I'd love it if there was an exclamation point at the end of this one]
- ihop near scranton, pa [was Michael Scott craving french toast?]
- God is great we are not [I think Corey Russell has publicized this Job verse to the max. Amen!]
- mosh pit punk [why, thank you]
- Sandy Flores [keep preachin' girl! Or Googling yourself...]
And last but not least, my favourite:
- obedient future husband discipline school [who knew such a thing existed? Could this be the true purpose behind IHOP?]
Anyways, that’s all. For those of you mentioned above, congrats, you’ll probably get even more tags from now on =) A special thanks to anyone out there who falls under the category of transient blog-reader with a curious search agenda. May you seek and find, and may your inquisitive spirit lead you into the truth that is Christ Jesus.
“The aim of our charge
is love that issues from a pure heart
and a good conscience
and a sincere faith.”
-1 Timothy 1:5-

[...] Clarification Jump to Comments One of my favourite things about WordPress is the “Stats” section that I periodically check for an occasional laugh (see past blogpost Just For Fun). [...]
