**Mundane and Pointless Stuff I Must Share** : For general discussion: from frivolous chatter to deep thoughts; from harmless diversions to life-changing announcements.
It’s not just for the trivial stuff out there.

Got to sing my favorite hymn, loud enough to embarrass my kids and make all the twice-a-years behind me look at me nervously.
He is risen indeed.

LOL, I had the loudest singer in my church (or any church) next to me today.
Good thing, he drowned out my singing.
“Christ, the Lord is rise today…”

I wasn’t debating anything. I was just issuing a greeting 🙂
And it isn’t “pointless” 😛

You call it a greeting; I call it witnessing. Witnessing goes in GD.

I thought all the eggs and bunnies were supposed to remind us to have a bunch of sex.

You know, I had my little comment in the closed thread.
Though I don’t follow **Gbro** ’s religion, I’ll take his post in the spirit intended.

Better take Him out of the oven, wouldn’t want Him to burn.
Next it says we brush Him with melted butter.
