My thoughts on Tech and life.

Farewell to George Carlin

This next post was supposed to be the second post about Gideon, but on Sunday, George Carlin died.  In case you don't know he was 71 and died of a heart attack.

If you've read my blog for any amount of time you know that I am a Christian, but I still loved Carlin's comedy.  He was over the top many times and I'm sure he could have toned down his language a bit, but the ideas he had were just classic.  He had a bit on "stuff" that is my all-time favorite.  I'll link to it at the end. Smile

This bit on stuff kind of exemplifies how I see stuff in our lives.  We all have way too much of it.  I taught a lesson a couple of years ago on stewardship that centered on the fact that God gives us stuff to take care of and use for the benefit of His people.  How are we doing on that?  Do you horde your stuff just for yourself, or do you use your stuff to bless others?  Remember that when you bless others, you too will be blessed in return.

Carlin dying makes me feel old today.

Goodbye George.
