We have been hearing a lot lately about drinking. If we should, as Christians, have a drink or two, or not have any at all. Might as well put my two cents in the pot (ooh! a gambling joke). Before Jesus tapped me on the shoulder I used to drink. A lot. A lotter lot lot (now I sound like Dr. Suess). Then when I gave my heart and life to Him, I stopped. I had so many things to work on, He knew I didn't need the extra junk the drugs and alcohol brought. Now, I feel the freedom to have a drink if I want to, or not, either way is ok. I really don't care. Wine with dinner? A Guinness now and then? Ok. I never drink to excess, which I believe is a sin, nor do I drive if I have more than 1 in the space of two or three hours. Anyone who says they can drive better with a couple-two-tree in 'em is full of crap.
Kristi Rule #19
Driving? Stop after one. Not driving? Stop after three.
(and I don't mean o'clock)
Cool thing--I got to drive us all home in Ireland one night because someone (ok, Alex) did not follow this rule. Legal, you ask? Probably not, but much better in the long run, plus it was really fun!

And you have my permission, if Kristi is driving on the wrong side of a VERY little car on the wrong side of a VERY skinny road in a foreign country, to have more than three...
Dang, that was a good time tho, huh?
So you said to stop after three. Does that mean four then? Stop at four. See what happens with rules?
I must say...hangin' wit dah McKinney Sistah's in the Temple Bar district in Dublin is a heck-uv-a good time.
Highly recommend it to all. Though...I wouldn't allow them to video record it if you are on the open mouthed end of a massive Guinness Binge.
Ah yes...Ireland...the land of daycare availability right in the pub.
I'm with Pat. And, how do I know? I might be causing my brother to stumble?!! No millstones around my neck please.
Reegz...I'm actually not one to oppose drinking for those who can be wise about it. My earlier comment was in reference to where my mind immediately went upon reading the "rule"...trying to find a way around it by twisting it.
Isn't this fun?
Let's see how legalistic we can get
Millstone...that's coffee, not beer, right? J/K
Thanks, Alex. You're a fun date, too!
Yes, Pat you're right, I should have said AT one and AT three. But I must reiterate, other people don't necessairly have to follow my rules.
You guys are clearly old...and Baptist. :) I'm kidding. Sort of. Let's raise a glass to no millstones and all that.
COLD? You whippersnapper just fell off the turnip truck wet behind the ears little spring chicken who you callin' cold? Eh? Oh, you said OLD! Sorry.
