Epic Tales of Hyperbole

To me this always sounded like an explanation I would have used as a kid to excuse my actions… “But Mom, I made them into lace curtains for you, its much more feng shui.” Or maybe… “Dad, this isn’t a broken window, its a representation of the chasm in our souls and how everything around it is fragile and ready crumble when we don’t fill it.” He’s a pastor, he might have gone for it. Probably not.

But I now embrace this term much more. Like a doctor re-braking the bone to set it straight (did I ever tell you about having to set my broken nose myself?), God has been working in my life to set me straight. And let me tell you he’s had to break a lot of bones… Many more than once. I don’t always do the best in rough situations, but I have developed this nature of almost getting excited when something catastrophic or nearly so happens (as long as I wasn’t the one who created it). Why? Because I know God is going to do something that totally trumps anything that might have gone wrong… Eventually. He’s going to make me and make the situation so much the better.

So, as a man created in the image of God, I should do the same right? I’m trying to explain the innate nature of creative destruction and why I, as a man of God, just creatively destroyed her old laptop. So what better way to do it than in a blog she doesn’t read? Of course my final product won’t look anything like what God’s would, but again I’m just explaining WHY I did it.

Three reasons,
1: To make my wife a better person… The sooner I destroy all of the old PC’s in this house, the sooner she can convert to Mac.
2: To make a useful digital photo frame out a piece of junk PC laptop that I bought over a year ago for $30.
3: To satisfy my curiosity of what it would look like when I started tearing it apart.

I will post photos of the finished product whenever I finish it…
Note: there is a strong likelihood that this product will lean heavily toward the destructive side and not so much toward the createive side.  A.K.A. I will likely never finish this.
