I have this gripe with folks who think God is taking more interest in things than I think he is.
Take, for example, this past season of Survivor. There was this dude, Matt, who consistently kept saying that God wanted him in the game and he was just playing for him. When he was low, he said that God told him to keep playing. When he was in better spirits, he said that it was God's will that he was still in the game.
Really?
I dunno. I'm up with Jesus and all that, but somehow I don't think God is all too caught up with Survivor results. And I'm thinking that IF he has a TV, he certainly doesn't have TiVo, and he's defnitely not messing with the outcome of some ridiculous reality series. Somehow I think God has bigger things to worry about--like slamming those pearly gates on folks such as Bin Ladin and Hitler.
Anywho, I don't wanna get all theological, so please don't send me hate mail and nasty comments--I was just thinkin', that's all.And I wanted an intro to my latest crack-up on YouTube.
So if you think, like me, that God has nothing to do with football touchdowns, homeruns, or who wins game shows, you gotta know he has nothing to do with this:
But I am sincerely thanking him for blessing some person on earth with the ability to create Auto Tune.
And you gotta love the comment to this video: "This is what he sounded like in his head"
Yeah, no doubt.
Sorry. Now you are gonna be singing that all weekend. You can thank me--or God, if you so prefer.

N-O-O-O-O!
I'm with you. I believe God loves me and cares for me, but He doesn't care about my football game. Or the White Sox, either. ;)
My favorite is the yo-yo's traveling around the US telling everyone to prepare for the end of the world. Um, yeah, the God told THESE people to specifically be the ones to warn the world. Oh well.
Afraid to click the videos. I know you. After that Russian thing I am terrified more of hitting play on these than the end of the world!!
That is so special... Where in the world do you find this stuff?!
God, not the God. Sheesh. At least I bump up your comment count with correcting my mistakes :-)
I don't watch Survivor or any other TV show, nor do I care about them one whit... so maybe I'm God. haha!
Of course, God isn't fretting about Survivor! But the Bible does say He cares about what we care about, even the little things. He even cares about little sparrows! I think that's very comforting.
And by the way, I'll definitely NOT be thanking God for that video. Ugh. :-p
Happy weekend.
Oh my stars girl ~ where do you find these videos? Is this one from the 80's or what ~ that hair on the woman and those acid wash jeans on that kid!
The day after 9-11, someone that I work with told me that God had told her to start praying about her wedding ring..."Really???.... God was concerned about you getting married?" I asked her. "He's not occupied with the catastrophic events happening in the world at the moment?"
She told me God can do more than one thing at once.
A multi-tasker... excellent...
10 years later... she's still not married (no ring!) and the war is still going on...
Hmmm.......
OK... now off to run a scrub brush through my ears to try and get that song out of my head...
xo Catherine
Is Nu Thang a girl or boy?
Had to shut this thing off before it ended--sorry, I must have missed the good part (and I don't care).
Yep, God is around for us, but we have to do our part and not expect miracles or he would have given this kid a better voice. Phyl
Lin, I watched survivor this year more then recent years and I found matt sweet at first and then increasingly tiresome. I'm not sure why on reality shows but there seems to be a token person like him?
I think if God wanted to talk to those two he would have told the host that her Loretta Lynn stage dress was a bust and that the wanna be rapper boy should have chosen his MC Hammer pants in a different color than lavender.
Oh BTW God has been telling me to hold on till Monday at 830am, but before then to shop for a new outfit and shoes--He suggested I love good...then he'll get back to doing his new thang and use it. ;-)
PS I think lavender boy needs to hit the gym for a little aerobic workout. Poor kid is winded just standing there rapping.
The existence of this video makes me question whether there is a benevolent controlling force in the universe.
Oh yes. It's in my head now. Are you happy? Are you?
I refuse to have that song circling around in my head this morning...thanks anyway, my friend! :)
He does care about the little things but Survivor doesn't fall into that category! Wow!
Sad and pathetic. Plus it hurts to listen this - on every level. Yeah, so I'm grumpy today - so what? This didn't help my grouch...Have a niiiice daaaay...
I think perhaps I will not listen to your newest earwig.
God told me not to.
heh
Why should I be raptured with your earwig in my head.
bwahahahahaha
see you there
OMG......I listened to the first few seconds and then fast forwarded to the end....I could tell from that woman that I wouldn't like it. Poor boy was breathless at the end.
She reminded me of a Tammy Faye type....eeeek.
If God didn't want him to dance around like that, he never would have invented those parachute pants.
I won't even think about trying to blame God for making you post that. Why is it that God has all these one on one conversations with so many people but he never sits down and chats with me. I talk, he maybe sends me signs or sticks an occasional good thought in my head but we've never gone out for coffee and had a good heart to heart.
Oh lawd!
Vanilla--I certainly hope he's more concerned with the big stuff in life and not silly stuff like Survivor. It drives me NUTS when people like Matt think he's that important. Ugh. I hope you are singing "Nu thang" today. :)
Helene--Helene, click on the second one if you are gonna click at all. You'll be singing it all day. :) Hee! Hee!
Cute--You can thank Emma for this one. :)
Rebecca--I just don't think he's concerning himself with the outcomes of baseball games and such. Life and life forms, yes. Reality show outcomes and homeruns...Nope. I'm thanking God for Auto Tune which made it so much better in the second video. :)
Catherine--I was actually singing this in the shower this morning. :) Scary.
Diana--I think it is a boy. A boy wayyyy back in the 80's. And one with very bad taste in clothes.
Phyl--You have to listen to the first one for a bit and then click on the second to see how they spiced it up. AutoTune rocks in this instance!
Tracy--His "God" thing was really grating on my nerves. Okay if you believe that, but do WE have to hear that??? I think not.
Jodi--Did you make your decision? Or are you waiting for God?
Betty--:) I'm glad you liked it. I actually sang it in the shower this morning.
Chocolate--Chicken, Simone! C'mon, I dare ya....
Grace--But did you listen to the second version? It's much better. Really. :)
Pricilla--Oh, Pricilla. I think you would like this one--it is sorta catchy after they AutoTune it. Sheesh. Now you are gonna die without hearing it???! Bummer.
Mary Ann--But isn't the AutoTune one better??! Everyone is singing it over here.
Daisy--Hee! Hee! I'm just glad God sent AutoTune to us.
Ann--He doesn't chat with me either. Sometimes he sends me goofy people to laugh at, but that's about it. I'm thankful for that.
Merry--I know you secretly LOVED it! :)
After reading through all the comments, I'm afraid to play to videos. Do I or don't I?
Lin. Monday. 830am. Interview. Nervous! My office secret cat in the bag is coming out the minute I walk in the large conference room. Then I'll be waiting for God. (Will gladly accept any interview tips...God dpesn't seem to be offering me up tips these days on interviews, lol) ;-)
You are an evil genius. This is even worth sharing with my You Tube snob kids.
Shout out to the hostess with the Tammy Faye makeup and the fivehead.
Well, I think that is the problem. We HAVE to hear about it. And I think that its not a coincidence that these contestants are picked. They do try to exacerbate conflict and believe or not - That kind of thing gets on some peoples nerves. And so I think that is why now in every show there is a token 'believer' someone who cant shut up bout it
So i think the answer is yes, you have to hear about it and thats why he was picked. sheesh, right?
File this under 'stuff I'm almost embarrassed that I know' but Nu Thang is a real song. To wit:

Now. I hasten to add that while I AM a dcTalk fan, this is very very very old stuff from these gentlemen when they were students at Liberty University. The newer stuff is better (clutching my knees, rocking gently) the newer stuff is better. The newer stuff is better.
I haven't noticed a lot of 'TV testimony', probably because the guys I work with only seem to want to watch Criminal Minds, COPS, and wrestling, but I HAVE encountered a number of complete strangers lately who want to chat me up about my eternal security while I'm waiting for my half pound of sweet lebanon and my cooper cheese. Or washing an ambulance. When they ask me what team I bat for I'm always careful to say 'ROMAN Catholic' because the ROMAN causes involuntary eye twitch.
