What did it say?

Have you ever noticed the cloud of dust that comes from a dropped chalkboard eraser? What words were erased? Was it a drawing? Or just some kid doodling on the board before the teacher came in? Why was it erased from the board? Did the kids remember it? Did they take notes? How did our words become disposable? How many great things or works of art are lost forever in a cloud of white dust?

Wouldn’t it be cool if, when the eraser hit the floor all those words were released into the air OUTLOUD? What would it sound like? What would the drawings come out like?



Are you still reading this? Really, that’s just weird. If this got you thinking you may just have a little Emo in you! If you don’t know what Emo is then stay tuned.

Last night at crosslink

Crosslink is Discovery churches youth outlet (youth group/small group) We meet on Sunday nights and have a blast. Last night was a cool-down night so we headed over to harass the good folks over at Coldstone with some good ol’ Christian lovin’. We ate enough ice cream to give an elephant brain freeze. We then come back to the club to run-um’ till they puked! While we didn’t have any return visits from the previously eaten ice cream, we did have some fun that even the grown-ups got into.

See if you can find your friends below.

in the know

As Family Pastor I feel it is my job to provide you readers (both of you) with some heavy learning. So today I am going to give you some serious street smarts. I know you have seen them, you have all questioned and you all need to know….so here goes:

They are called “Hi-Risers” not High Risers or High Riders or Low Riders but “Hi-Risers” these are cars that are not 4x4’s but are jacked way up on very large rims with low profile tires. But don’t call them “rims”!!! At and above a 20” rim they are referred to as Dubs which is a term that came from 22 inch rims, get it? Dubs = double 2’s = 22’s. These cars are normally larger cars and in the Hi-Riser world, 4 doors are just fine if not preferred.
So now you know the general term to describe these rides (aka “Whips”). We need to go deeper because not all Hi-Risers are created equal! There are 3 categories of Hi-Risers: Donks, Boxes and Bubbles! Am I going to fast? I will slow it down for you. And it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take some notes!

Donks: Mid-'70s Impala, Caprice and Monte Carlo or any mid-'70s ride with a sloping tail Mid-'70s, The key to sporting a true Donk is the keep the rear of the car lower that the front. Kind like a “I’m gonna get you” stance. Please note that there is a little confusion on the Donk secne. Some people think that it’s not a slanted stance but that the design of the car has a trunk that slopes down. To keep on the fence I personally consider both of these cars Donks because the slopping truck give it the same look of doing a wheelie, thus Donkified! (don’t use the word “Donkified” on the street…you will be beat up!)


Boxes: Mid-80s Impala, Caprice and Monte Carlo or any mid-80s ride with a boxey rear clip (a square car). This is an easy one to remember because it sounds like what it is. Also note that Boxes can be a Donk by keeping the front higher than the back.

Bubbles: '90s Caprices and Impalas, '90s rides that are rounded on both ends. Once again it sounds like what it is, a rounded off car. This can also be a Donk by following the rules of Donks!


I personally would be very careful if you decide to mod your car into a Hi-Riser because most insurance companies will not insure a car with a modified suspension.



Ok, as Family Pastor I have done my job & you have been educated.

BTW, Jim, I am willing to help you Donk-out your mini-van on your next visit.
