Ernest P. Worrell may be the most earnest man in the world.

Yes, he’s always interrupting Vern at the most inopportune times, causing chaos along the way. But he’s just trying to help.

Ernest is easily inspired with awe for the wonderful deals and products he discovers. He wants Vern to share in these blessings.

Be as earnest as Ernest today. Don’t be afraid to interrupt someone’s life with a surprise blessing. And try not to close your life off to the Ernests who bring cheer into your day.

An interruption of blessing is not an interruption. It’s an intervention – a rescue mission to recover the possibilities of the day the Lord has made.

Let us rejoice in that day with the spirit of Ernest. Know what I mean?

Happy Friday.

Break It Down Like Bob Dylan

In honor of going to see Bob Dylan in concert tomorrow, I give you this video of Bob Dylan rehearsing his one line from the charity single “We Are The World” for 8 minutes.

This is not your typical short and to the point Happy Friday post. But there’s something magical about the grin Bob Dylan gets around 5:07 in the video.

Even after decades in the music business and unmatched success, he’s still a perfectionist. He’s still humble. He still gets frustrated when he doesn’t sound good. And he still smiles when people like something he did.

Don’t think you’re too big to keep trying hard on something. Don’t think you’re so much of an expert that you can’t improve. And don’t forget to smile when people pay you a compliment.

Happy Friday.

(If you have an extra few minutes, you must read Rembert Browne’s hilarious second by second dissection of this video from Grantland. It will make your day.)

Secret Agents In A War Of Kindness

You can do a lot of awesome things in one day, as the video above shows. Especially when you stop thinking about yourself.

Attack the world with kindness. Let loose an unexpected assault of unselfishness. Look for ways to better someone else’s day, and your day will be blessed in turn. Love your neighbor.

I truly believe one simple selfless act of kindness can completely change another person’s day. Let’s all be secret agents in a war of kindness this Friday.

Happy Friday.

What’s one way you can attack the world with kindness today? 

Doughboy Joy

This might be the best commercial ever:

May you have Doughboy joy today. May you be tickled with laughter in the face of the things which would normally inconvenience and annoy you. May you smile when faced with them, knowing the Lord will conquer all and will make all things work together for His glory.

Happy Friday.

The Two Things Ron Swanson Hates Most

/ Alex Doriot / 2 Comments

There’s only one thing Ron Swanson hates more than liars: skim milk.photo-16

Don’t lie about what you are today. Be the person God created you to be. Embrace your quirks and your flaws. Quit trying to be something you’re not. You have a savior who loves you just the way you are. In fact He made you that way.

Don’t be like skim milk.

Happy Friday.

Macho Madness

RS

(It’s Wrestlemania week on POP GOD! Join us everyday this week as we count down to Wrestlemania XXIX this Sunday with new posts searching for God in the squared circle.)

Today we’re talking Macho Madness: That confidence, strength and intensity personified best by the one and only Randy “Macho Man” Savage.

May you tackle all of today’s challenges with Macho Madness. May you turn your life around 180 degrees. May you go left when the world tells you to go right.

You are more than a conqueror, and no matter what life brings you can trust “the beat goes on”.

Happy Friday. (And no more questions!)

Fozzie Bear and The Power of Persistence

/ Alex Doriot / 1 Comment

Fozzie Bear believes in the power of persistence.

He’s an old-school Vaudeville comedian. He believes in his jokes, and he pushes them through to the punchline no matter how many stops and starts he faces along the way from frogs who don’t understand comedic timing.

Fozzie believes in his act. He commits to it with his entire furry self.

Whatever opposition you face this Friday, be persistent. Commit to your cause. And do it with a Muppet-like smile.
