The Flintstone Age

Someone I work with made a comment the other day about Fred Flintstone. When I didn’t remember how loud Fred’s sneezes were, the response was “oh you probably don’t remember the Flintstones.”

Of course I remember the Flintstones! How could I not! They are one of the classics! But then I got to thinking. That generation of cartoons were on the way out when I was growing up. The Flintstones and Jetsons were getting replaced with Recess and Ninja Turtles.

I wonder if kids today know how their vitamins got such a funny name…

Taking Advantage Of Singleness

This is an old post I wrote, just cleaning out the draft folder 🙂

When I’m married, I should…

• have stability in housing
• have a steady income
• spend most of my time with family
• raise my children well
• love my wife faithfully
• lead my family toward Christ

I’m not married now, so I could…

• travel overseas to encourage missionaries in the field
• spend time at nursing homes and orphanages to care for those who are often ignored
• pick up hobbies
• get very involved in ministry
• invest in relationships with younger men
• have a advantageous job that may not pay very well
• live with minimal expenses
• give more financially
• hang out with folks often

It boils down to time. When you get married, your family gets your time. Before those responsibilities, your time can be spent with more freedom.
