The person who called me always seems to call at the most inopportune times and seemingly never has anything interesting to say. It's always something about work or their spouse. My end of the conversation usually consists of a bunch of "Really?", "No Way.", and "I heard that."I don't think Learell Faulkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00133775363363945246noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225640408720470048.post-42043213470264705012011-01-04T08:53:00.007-05:002011-01-06T23:51:15.950-05:00Happy PlaceMy number 17 favorite movie of all-time is Happy Gilmore. This movie stars Adam Sandler who plays Happy Gilmore, a former hockey player who is incapable of controlling his anger so he resorts to playing golf in order to save his grandmother's house from bank foreclosure. Get it? I hate when that happens....anyway. There is a point in the movie where Happy is struggling with his putting game so Learell Faulkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00133775363363945246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225640408720470048.post-1093388504427869972011-01-01T17:53:00.005-05:002011-01-01T18:54:22.676-05:002011: I Will Not Make A Baby This YearSo I did it again. I stuck my foot in mouth on twitter last night. I was asked for my New Year's Resolutions so, without thinking, I rattled off a few things that I'd like to do in 2011. Some of them are drastic life-changes and some of them aren't major changes for me or for anyone else but maybe some of these things will help me overcome some inconsistencies in my life. So, I've made a list Learell Faulkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00133775363363945246noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225640408720470048.post-43018372289054058342010-12-22T10:35:00.007-05:002010-12-22T12:43:23.673-05:00Attention Grabber.I try hard to not be the type of guy who takes everything in life and credits it to God or blames it on Satan..or vice versa. That was the church atmosphere I was raised in from the day I traded in the amniotic fluid for O2 and strongly believe that some good and bad things in life...just happen. On the same note, I'm also not the type of guy who finds a Jesus story in everything that happens.

"If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness." - II Corinthians 11:30 (NIV)We have a weakness. We like to impress. I don't mean your typical "check-out-how-clean-my-shoes-are" impress. I mean, we really like to impress and not just on a small scale.

Are you the best? I most definitely am not. Not in appearance. Not in talent. Not in my walk with God. Nowhere. Do you know someone who is? I sure don't. Yet, everywhere we turn in society we are pressured to be exactly that. Be the perfect actor or actress. Be the best mom, dad, running back, diver, writer, singer or speaker.
