Questions about questions

What??

double stumped on this one

Why don't you just say, "I'm blessed"? It is simple, different, and may spark an opportunity to witness.

Now that was awesome, thank you!

The questions "How are you?" and What's happening?" have become the standard ice breakers for people to use. The art of conversation has slowly been lost in our hustle and bustle world. To the point that most people do not know how to open a conversation without something quick and easy. They do not really expect an answer, it is just a way to get the ball rolling as such.

My replies to these types of questions are just a simple and quick, but meaningful. "How are you?" "With God's help I am doing fine. (on a good day)" or (on a rough day)"God is currently testing my strength."

"What's happening?" "I am just sitting back and enjoying the wonders of God's world."

These replies do not slam a witness event in their face, but they do plant the seed and in a time God has set they may search for the real meanings behind what is said.

I hope this has provided a different light for you on how to view a simple conversation starter.

fablesarereal.....were you a philosophy major in college? reading all this is making my head spin!

When people say to me "Hey, what's up!" or "How's it goin?" as their greeting I usually just say "hi" back because I think that's what they are really saying to me--hi.

You may want to go into politics! It seems you have made a simple thing into something complicated! lol! But I DO understand what you are saying. I too have these questions!

Like why do people say: "You just want to have your cake and eat it too." Well, Duh! Why have the cake, if you can't eat it?

And this one: It's "NEW and IMPROVED"! HUH? How can that be? Is it new? Or is it improved? It has to ne old, if it is improved. If it is not old, and therefore NOT improved, them it must be new! Or the same! Hmmmm!

People point at thier wrist and ask if you know what time it is! WHY do they point at thier wrist? Where else would you be wearing a watch? Around your knee? Do you point at your crotch and ask where the rest room is? LOL!!! How dumb can people be?

A cop pulls you over and says: "Do you know how fast you were going?" HUH??? Doesn't he already know? Isn't THAT why he pulled you over? Why does he ask you? How absurd! He should simply tell you instead! Then you would BOTH know.

Oh, And people say: "Life is short"! Well duh! Where did they get the clue? From the Bible maybe? Dod they have to buy a vowel? Anyway, it is still the LONGEST thing you will do on this earth.

Oh, and one last thing that really gets me.

People say, "It's always in the last place you look!" Now THESE are some real Einsteins! NO KIDDING IT IS!!! When you find it you QUIT looking! So that makes it the LAST place you looked. Why would you keep looking AFTER you found it? So you could say it was NOT in the last place you looked???

Oh well! THAT'S Life! And life is full of these little things! Yes?

When two High School football coaches meet on the field, BEFORE the game and shake hands with each other, do you know what they say? Do you? And it is ALWAYS NOT what they mean. They say "GOOD LUCK!" HUH??? You think they MEAN that? lol! Not likely!

OH! lol! What really gets me is when people aske me: "Have you lived around here ALL your life?" HUH? HUH? HUH? Do they talk to dead people? If I am still alive I have not lived ALL my life anywhere, have I? Should that not be obvious??? Are they calling me dead? Do I lokk like a ghost?

Anyway, I understand! Why do people ask how you are, when they could really care less? Why don't they ask something they really care about? Like Am I in your will? Or, are you going to give me an envelope full of money today?

I could go on for a few days but I guess I will stop.

my head hurts
