Giveaway: Beyond Ordinary – A Post on Avoidance

beyondordianrypic

[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”raised” width=”565px” height=”” background_color=”#c5c5c5″ border_width=”1″ border_color=”#dddddd” ]A big part of what we talk about here on asmithblog.com is relationships, and what relationship is more important than with your spouse? At some point along the way through that specific relationship or another, we have been faced with thinking that avoidance is the easiest way out. Well, we are fortunate enough to have Justin and Trisha Davis here today to share some of their thoughts on what avoidance actually does and challenges us to take a deep look at ourselves.[/dropshadowbox]

 

Avoidance is like a drug. It convinces you that a little bit won’t hurt you, and by trying it you will feel better. But avoidance is addictive and it’s seductive. It makes you feel like the issues and the problems and the sins that you have aren’t as bad or as toxic or as lethal as they really are.

come back

Here are 9 things that I loved and I want to see them come back:

1. FUNDIP – Well, you can find this stuff in gas stations on back roads, but I want this stuff everywhere. When I do find it, I am happy folks.
2. Parachute pants – They are just more comfortable. Duh.
3. Rattails, moustaches and mullets – The y make me smile instantly. This would just make things better.
4. Manners – You remember those days. Where everyone said things like “Yes ma’am” and “Yes sir”. Ok, maybe you don’t.
5. Hymnals – I like scarf wearing worship leaders as much as the next guy, but sometimes I want to hear an organ while singing some hymns. I know I’m not the only one.
6. Light up shoes (for adults) – All the kids used to wear the shoes that light up, but what about the adults? Now these kids got the roller skate shoes. Just garbage.
7. Waterbeds – Everyone wants to feel like they’re sleeping on water.
8. Choir robes – They just sexy.
9. Dinnertime – Turn off the tv and make dinnertime, well family time as well.

I need your help finishing this list…
