Guess Which One

By | June 3, 2010

There’s probably a name for this game, but I don’t know what it is.  The rules are quite simple: guess which one(s) is not true.

  1. Our two oldest found out tonight that fifth grade graduation in (this part of) Texas is a big deal.
  2. A piece I submitted for publication was first read by the editor this week, 11 months after I turned it in.
  3. Raising your medical deductible is a form of gambling, and when today’s bills came in, I realized that the house won.
  4. A lady was found murdered in her home a few houses down from us this week.
  5. I only have nine books left for my OT arguments.
  6. I would recommend you never buy a used car battery from A—zone, as you may well be buying the bad one I returned this morning.
  7. Costco, on the other hand, rocks, particularly when they give me a full refund when I return a three-year-old garden hose.
  8. There are only a few books on my desk.
  9. I’m thinking of shaving my head tomorrow afternoon.
  10. I saw what a 20-week-old baby looks like on an ultrasound yesterday.
  11. I’m currently reading Unleashing the Word: Rediscovering the Public Reading of Scripture.
  12. If you buy a cellphone from Amazon using this link, I make $65.
  13. When the neighbor’s sprinklers popped up yesterday, one of my kids decided it would be fun to jump up and down on one of them.
  14. When reporting the creation of a fountain in his yard, I had my longest conversation ever with said highly-introverted neighbor, who, it turns out, likes to read biblical Hebrew and Greek.
  15. Tomorrow I am a WatchDOG at the elementary school where four of our kids will spend their last day ever in the same school.
  16. I love God’s Word.

Because people don’t read here regularly (in part because I don’t post here regularly), I’m going to delay giving the answer so more people can enjoy the fun.  You are free to comment below, but I don’t plan to give the answer for a few days.

    Finally! I’ve been waiting for a post like this.
    I tried to call the Bolen crew today, but didn’t get you. Miss you all.

    Wow, this one’s tough. However, I would love to hear what you think of Unleashing the Word . . . that is, unless you’re not actually reading it!

    I loved reading this post. It’s really hard to imagine a few books on your desk and 16 is very encouraging. Thanks Todd!

    I’m gonna guess 5 because I’m hoping you have less than 9 arguments left!
