I have strep throat. Summer colds shouldn’t exist. All I want to do is cuddle under a warm blanket and eat hot soup. Neither of those things go well in the summer. So while I was colding it out in the scorching heat I thought about how a summer cold proves the fall of man. If you are not familiar with the fall of man it’s the Biblical account of how our world became broken. Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit that God told them not to eat and the world as we know came into existence. It’s broken and waiting for God to come back. So here are some other imperfections that prove the fall of man…
- Summer colds – they stink and right now belong on top of this list.
- The heat – this past week there was a heat advisory. It was so hot that the news went to the hospital to see if they could find anyone affected by the extreme heat. When heat is so hot that it kills people it proves that this world is broken.
- Cats – why else would people pay hard earned money on a creature that doesn’t show love back?
- Men’s locker rooms – what else explains the 98 year old man who is naked at all time in all men’s locker rooms in America? This guy has forgotten that with the fall came shame over being naked. For Rob’s sake man, put some clothes on and stop strutting through men’s locker rooms naked!
- Baby gas – sometimes baby gas is funny. A fart is a fart. When it’s not funny is when it is stuck in their stomach and it hurts them to the point of crying.
- Newblies – I learned about getting newbly at church camp. It’s a word that means getting so tired your head bobs up and down while sitting in a church service. It happens. Even to the best of us…it happens. It’s really embarrassing when you are on church staff and you start falling asleep in the middle of the sermon.
- Going bald – for me goig bald has been a slow process. Year by year my baldness shows more and more. It’s a slow painful death. Baldness is bad and therefore I think it came from the fall of man.
- Tiredness – I can get 8 hours of sleep and I still will get tired during the day. Either tiredness or the fact that jobs don’t allow you to take an afternoon nap is further proof of the fall of man.
- Headaches – my wife gets headaches all the time and they are not just at bed time. She has had a headache for three days straight. What’s the cause? Nobody knows.
- Public restrooms – I was in the church restroom and a guy was blowing it up. I felt really bad for him. He would try to cough to cover up the noise that was coming from his lower region but the cough was a futile attempt. We spend our whole lives going to the bathroom in private and then go out in public and have to share the experience with strangers. It’s awful. Guilt and shame came with the fall of man and that goes right along with how I feel in a public restroom.
What are some other things that you don’t like that you can blame on the fall of man?
Extremely overweight people (either sex) trying to dress like they are 80 pounds thinner. That is just a gross-out to me and proves the fall of men.
Men with hair all over them, or a belly that has dunlaps disease not wearing a shirt. My grandson saw one cutting grass one day and said out loud, “Put your shirt on dude.” LOL
Bill, I had to google dunlap. I’m afraid I’ve gone the way of dunlap. Don’t worry I keep my shirt on.
Chicken pot pie, speed traps and overtime are all directly caused by the fall of man.
I used to feel the same way about Chicken Pot Pie until I ate some from my friend Danielle. I think it could turn you as well.
And here I thought you’d put soccer on the list.
People with nasty, dirty, diseased feet parading flagrantly out in public with sandals on. Have I made myself clear?
Yes. Do you know someone like this? Gross.
JESUS JUKE ALERT: Yes Daniel, and Jesus would wash those feet. Go and do likewise….
Fungus, mold, insects, reptiles, dust, phone solicitors,junk mail, rude behavior, and snoring.
Oh snoring. My wife would agree with you on that one.
Baby spit-up, insecurity, unnecessary drama, baby monitors, rain on my only beach day of summer, and Bachelor Pad.
I feel like you just vented about some serious frustrations.
Mosquitoes
Eyeglasses (not the glasses themselves, but the nearsightedness or farsightedness or astigmatism that makes the glasses needed)
Agreed about eye wear. Hate it!
Mustaches.
Seriously, we look bad with them.
… and so do our women …
Daniel that’s really funny.
Michael, I agree unless your name is Tom Selleck.
Adobe Flash.
Dancing with the Stars.
Hybrid cars.
I’m having WAY TOO MUCH FUN reading and laughing over ALL OF YOURS!!!
Fall of Man Proof: Road Rage! When other people drive like where they have to go is so much more important than your destination!
Also, when other people believe their opinion should be your fact!
For me it’s the “Real Housewives of _________” that drivel came straight from the pit….and Mallo Cups (blech!)
Bluetooth users.
I forgot one:
INFOMERCIALS.
