I've Finally Made It!

I like to think of myself a humble man, raised by humble parents, in a humble home. So I mean not to brag, but I do declare that I have officially made it to the top:

An official meme account used my quote and credited me!

Yes, yes, little, insignificant, sideburns-sporting me!

What's even better, is that their post received some overwhelmingly positive comments! If you want to see for yourself, check out the Baptist Memes, The Independent Funny Baptist here!

For those who perhaps aren't of an Independent Fundamental Baptist background and maybe haven't hung around these kind of people too much, let me explain this joke: This is what I call a #ResponsibleRelationship Christian pickup line. You've heard the stale old standby: "Hey girl, I was looking though the book of Numbers and I realized I didn't have yours!" Gag. My version is the responsible one where you ask the father's permission before everything else. This pickup line has been well received by Baptists all over the internet and now, I hope that Baptist fellas all over the place can add this to their quiver of #ResponsibleRelationship pickup lines. I don't claim to be an expert in the subject matter, but I have been known to give advice on the subject in the past.


I'd like to take this moment to thank Brooke Tallent and Sam Garcia for the glorious opportunity to be an official meme star and comedian. I was just joking around and here I am, 1500+ likes and counting! I even got a couple Instagram followers out of it too! A hearty "WELCOME!" to all of y'all. Glad to have you on board.

Don't any of you worry: I will still be the same humble me I always was. This newfound fame will definitely not go to my head.

One for Mother

I just want to take this space to thank my mommy for bringing me into this world. That sure was nice of you.  It's been a blast so far!

Throughout the years, my mom taught me a lot of cool things. For example, she taught me how to use a spoon. Also, she taught me how to blow my nose. She also introduced me to a concept called "manners". Obtaining this skill was a deciding factor in letting me go in public sometimes. 

My mom has super powers too. One such power is her power to mentally multitask. She can calculate that child #1 has to be at location A at x:o'clock, while child #4 needs a ride home from visiting child #2 at location B and child #3 won't be home from location C no later than y:o'clock and therefore dinner must be ready, laundry must be folded, the national budget must be balanced, and 3 barns must be raised in 15 minutes. You think I exaggerate? Not much, I say.

She used to feed me veggies and things as a kid when I didn't want to eat them. "Just try them," she'd say. After all these years, there are very few veggies I don't like, but I still have qualms about those dried orange-cranberries. Blechhh!

She was my band's manager when we were too young to manage. She was our schoolteacher when we were homeschooled. She was our chauffeur before we knew how to drive.  She would insist that I, a fledgling college student, get some sleep during my all-night study sessions. She taught me about Jesus and shared the Gospel with me when I was a young boy.

She will never stop being mom to me and my siblings: she will always be concerned for us, she will always care for us when we're sick, she will always worry about us, she will always hold her arm in front of us when braking suddenly and she will always shower us with undying love, only the kind a mother can have for her kids. 

I might never understand that kind of love; it's unique to mothers, and it makes the world a better place. It's marked by unconditional selflessness and compassion. I'm a rich man for having experienced it.

Give your mother a hug today and tell her you love her. If you can't hug your mother, thank God that you had one, and that there are mothers out there who work tirelessly to show true love to their families. We the children of mothers, are immeasurably in debt to them.

If there's medals for mothers,

For all of the deeds they have done,

If there's medals for mothers,

Mamma, you'd win every one!
