Dog Chases Car… Dog Catches Car….
Posted on 26. Mar, 2010 by markdoebler.
We’ve all seen dogs chasing cars. I’ve often thought to myself, “Self…. what would that dog do if he CAUGHT the car?” I’ve never been able to answer that question clearly until now……

Facebook Follies
Posted on 29. Jan, 2010 by markdoebler.
Remember a few weeks ago when the whole “color” status was making the rounds on Facebook? Like many guys, it took me a while to figure out what the heck was going on. In case you were under a rock, there was a viral request sent out to the ladies on FB asking them to post the color of their bra. I think it had to do with breast cancer, but I’m not sure.
Anyway…. a day or so later I saw some guy posting a status about it being an actual virus. Not sure if this is the same guy, but it just might be a good reminder about being aware that what we post on FB is in full public view. This one is good for a laugh. And remember…. people are watching…..

Steelers to loose Super Bowl Trophies
Pittsburgh, PA. The Super Bowl XLIII Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, the only team to win six titles, will soon be loosing half of those trophies. After a meeting between NFL Commissioner Rodger Gadel and President Barack Hussain Obama, Obama decided to redistribute half of their Steeler Super Bowl victories and trophies to less fortunate teams in the league.
?We live everyday in the country that invented the Super Bowl.? said Obama ?We are not about to lose this Great American tradition in the wake of these difficult times.? Obama?s plan calls for the Steelers, who are a successful NFL team, to give half of their Super Bowl trophies to teams that are not successful or have not been as successful as the Steelers. ?The Detroit Loins are just as much a part of the same fiber of the NFL as the Steelers and they should, no rather will, be entitled to a Super Bowl Trophy as well.? Obama explains in his plan that he has imposed on Godel and the NFL.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, who by virtue of hard work, excellent team play, stellar draft choices, responsible investing of free agents, careful hiring of coaches and excellent community service and commitment to their fans, has prospered greatly during the past 30 years and have won six Super Bowl Trophies. But President Barack Hussain Obama?s plan calls for the Pittsburgh Steelers to carry the larger burden of the NFL?s less successful teams. Obama went on to further proclaim, ?In these difficult times we are all in this to work together. We must reclaim the NFL Championship Dream for every team, for every city and for every fan.?
?My plan will not affect 31 of the 32 teams in the league.? Obama assures. That?s over 95 percent of the teams in the NFL will not have to worry about loosing any Super Bowl Trophies. ?The worst teams in the NFL and the teams that can?t seem to get a break and win a championship will no longer have to worry about going without a title.? Obama promises. ?We are a country and league of hope. We all need to make a change. It does not matter the color of the teams uniforms, the personal decisions that the teams make or their performance but rather if they are a member of this great American league.?
The Super Bowl XLIII trophy will be redistributed to the 0-16 Detroit Lions. Through no fault of their own incompetence, the Lions could not manage a victory all season and this trophy will help ease the pain of their lack of performance and give them hope once again. The redistribution of Super Bowl XL trophy will go directly to the Steeler?s division rival the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals who also have fallen on hard times have never won a Super Bowl. This victory will bring a smile to hundreds of Bengal fans all over the world as they can now celebrate. Finally, one of the Steeler?s two Super Bowl victories over the Dallas Cowboys will go back to the Cowboys since the league needs to provide hope in the face of difficulty and provide hope in the face of uncertainty. This is a heavy burden for the Steelers but together we can all prosper.
All hope is not lost for Pittsburgh fans, Barack Hussain Obama has another plan in place. Obama has meet with MLB and commissioner Bud Selig on a similar plan. The New York Yankees will redistribute two of their world series trophies to the Pittsburgh Pirates as a supplement to their loosing 16 straight seasons and counting. This plan will help stimulate the Pirates and enable them to regain the American Dream. Barack Hussain Obama will be meeting with the NHL and Michael Phelps in the upcoming weeks as this issue is high on his agenda for ?Hope and Change.?
Steelers must now share their wealth and fruits of their success and hard work.

First Church of Starbucks
Posted on 03. Feb, 2009 by Mark Doebler.
I had a friend of mine send me a link in an email this last week to a video entitled “What If Starbucks Marketed Like a Church?”?? I had seen it once before, but had forgotten about it.? The video was done by the people over at Beyond Relevance which has a really, really interesting blog about seeing church through the eyes of guests.
Surprisingly, the longer you have been in church, the harder it gets to see the experience of church through the eyes of a guest…. which is sort of important since these are the folks the church wants to reach.? At Second Chance Church, we are doing a series of messages called “No Perfect People Allowed”.? The series was prompted by hearing comments from guests that have recently arrived at SCC, comments from those whose lives have been impacted since arriving at SCC, and a sermon series by the same name over at New Spring Church in Anderson, SC. ? I keep hearing from new people at SCC that there is something real and genuine in experience they are having at Second Chance.? That’s fantastic.? That means that many of the people who are already there are doing a good job of opening their arms and welcoming people who are new and helping them to feel on equal footing.? But it’s amazing how quickly you can lose that if you don’t continue to help people see the experience with fresh eyes.
This video does a really good job in a very humorous way of showing how awkward first-time guests feel when coming to a church and the way they are often treated once there.? After you’ve watched this, I’d love to get some feedback from all of you out there.? What fresh insights do you get about the experience?? What can be done to improve the experience.? Now…enjoy!
