The Shocking Truth About The Thinklings

WE GOT NO GAME!!!

The image below was our oroginal "logo", created way back in the day when we started this blog. I remember Jared dreamed this up at one of our moots.



Times have changed . . . Except for Phil's heroic, devotional and investigative posts, we got absolutely no hops around here.

I guess it's to be expected . . . A lot of the topics on that wheel have been talked out, or have changed subtly.

Politics, for instance. Our country's political discourse has gotten too whacked to talk safely about politics in this space, for the most part.

Sports? Have you looked at the sports teams in Waco, Houston, Nashville, and San Antonio lately? If it wasn't for Jared's inexplicable and bromantic devotion to Boston teams, we'd be sunk.

Theology. Yes. But many of our best conversations are in the past, and a whole lot of our best theological thinking happens on a particular Thinkling's solo blogs, twitters, and facebook statuses.

Of course, the real problem (if you could call it that) is us.

Phil's hanging tough, thankfully.

Jared is devoting himself to his life's work and passion: writing books and pastoring. Those things are more important than this thing, and thank goodness.

Bird's on hiatus (I miss Bird).

Blo's a Zephyr.

And me . . . well, I'm reduced to writing whiny posts about how no one ever writes posts anymore.

On a side note, the two greatest tools ever invented are duct tape and vice grips.

And Groundhog Day is one of the greatest movies ever made.

God loves you, Blogosphere.

What's strange is that I was coming here specifically to post a couple of things, and I see this post of yours about how nobody posts any more.

There are no coincidences . . .

Heh. As I was writing this, I was kind of hoping no one would post, just because that would have taken some of the wind out of my rant ;-)

Post Away, Merrill!

The duct tape website is cool but let us not forget Great Stuff because it is. Oh and everyone needs a zip it. You can find them in Home Depot in the plumbing department.

AND YA STILL GOT GAME!

Don't give up doing good! We need you out here! I think blogs written by Christians are being used by God to help Christians to become unified. We in Him and Him in us! I send parts of blogs I read to my Christian friends. We are a remnant and we need each other!

Perhaps some fresh blood would help. Get some Entlings in on your moots. I realize you guys got history and all that together, but even cultures in microcosm need new blood to stay alive.

I'll be a Thinkling. A little diversity would be a good thing?

8. Milly - 07/16/2010 10:36 pm CDT

MzEllen!

That would be fun. You and I could liven things up you posting and me commenting. Da boyz would need to put on their big boy pants

9. Bill - 07/16/2010 11:26 pm CDT

Heh. Yellow Gatorade-seeing Chick Thinklings . . . That would be something!

10. Milly - 07/17/2010 11:05 am CDT

So. . . Bill you're saying that as yellow is right so is a Chick Thinklings.

MsEllen and I have a history of going toe to toe on some issues and agreeing on others. It's always a learning experience.

"Vice Grips"? Methinks we have too good a hold on our vices already, thankyew veddy much. Or perhaps you actually meant "VISE-Grips" (a very useful tool, indeed)?

12. Bill - 07/20/2010 5:41 am CDT

D'oh! :-)

13. Nightturkey - 07/23/2010 11:55 am CDT

And oh, what I would gladly give for a really good pair of VIRTUE-GRIPS.

14. Karl - 07/28/2010 10:09 pm CDT

Yeah, I miss the days when more of you guys posted more often.

But I still enjoy the Thinklings, so keep up the good work.
