Welcome to Struck!

Here you will find lots of stuff that strikes me -- from the silly to the sublime.

Some of it comes from the cloth-bound journals full of quotes I've been keeping for 20+ years. Some comes from my travels on the internet. And some from the cool people I have in my life. Here you'll find quotes on friendship and silly jokes as well as deep insights gathered from sermons and books.

Hope you will be struck by some of it, too. I'm adding new stuff all the time so be sure to subscribe to updates for a chance to be stuck every day.

Oh, and please leave comments! I thrive on feedback.

The Bible in 50 words

I found this stuck in the pages of my journal, hastily tossed to my printer when I lived in Japan.  It was one of those millions of e-mails that get forwarded forever, but I haven't seen it in years so it struck me once again today:

The Bible in 50 words
God made
Adam bt
Noah arked
Abraham split
Joseph ruled
Jacob fooled
Bush talked
Moses balked
Pharaoh plagued
People walked
Sea divided
Tablets guided
Promise landed
Saul freaked
David Peeked
Prophets warned
Jesus born
God walked
Love talked
Anger crucified
Hope died
Love rose
Spirit flamed
Word spread
God remained

No, it doesn't really sum up the Bible, but it's kind of cool.
