Mission: 6-pack abs
October 2, 2006
I’m not blogging lately because, well, I got nothin’. Besides, my last post used up all my thinking brain cells.
What I’ve discovered is that thinking brain cells are a lot like my 6-pack abs: if I don’t use them, they go away. Or, more accurately, they turn to mush. (Not that I’ve ever had 6-pack abs, but you get my point.)
********************
About 5 minutes just lapsed from the time I finished writing that last paragraph to the time I began writing this one. Because why? Well, because I looked at that phrase “6-pack abs” and was overwhelmed with the urge to do with it what I always do with things like that.
Google it.
You can imagine my intrigue when I found this article come up in the results: The Secret for 6-Pack Abs. Well glory be. Finally. A secret.
I read the article.
Dumb.
The bottom line is, there’s no secret. Unless “diet and exercise” is what you call a secret. Give me a break.
A secret would be something like, “A small group of cancer researchers at one of the country’s well-known universities was studying the effects of chocolate on the brain cells of rats who are entering the twilight years of their lives. In the process, they discovered (quite by accident) that humans who want 6-pack abs can achieve this goal easily by consuming, of all things, a jumbo size Hershey’s chocolate bar with almonds. But there is a catch. The jumbo chocolate bar, eaten alone, will not achieve the desired results. Surprisingly, the only way a well-defined 6-pack will emerge, is if the jumbo chocolate bar is first smothered in peanut butter, then sprinkled with crushed toffee and finally, served atop exactly 4 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. The scientists discovered that this particular combination works in such a way as to safely, quickly, painlessly and effortlessly dissolve fat, particularly in the abdominal region. The loss of fat then reveals firm, well-defined abdominal muscles, often referred to as ’6-pack’ abs.”
Yes. That would be my kind of secret.

Wow, Amy! I’m so sorry that you’ve been bombarded with this topic of women in the church. I have to say that I agree with you. I am totally for women serving in the church in various areas. I, however, have seen some negative stuff regarding women being pastors…..and even elders. In a former church, we actually had a woman who served as elder. My husband felt that she had the wisdom to serve in that area, so we brought it before the church, and they voted her in. She is a wonderful woman. However, I think that in a lot of ways, the men on the board stepped back from the ‘plate’ and gave her more power and control. She is very knowledgeable in some areas, whereas they couldn’t care less, so they let her ‘run’ certain things. There was a problem in our church of men not serving like men and not being the priests of their homes and the church. An unhealthy balance occurred.
I do believe that God calls women to do great things. I can’t say whether or not He called the women who are pastors. I’ve met some great women pastors who preach very well. But when it comes to counseling families, there are many men who won’t listen to a woman. The church seems to become very woman-controlled. I like the feeling of having a covering…..a man-covering. I guess that whatever we serve as, it’s fine as long as Christ is the head!
Just thought I’d throw in my two cents. By the way, have you read the book I sent?
