#255: Rules of Maintenance

While mowing on the old John Deere earlier today, I came up with some things folks should know about the World of Maintenance, post-Fall since Adam gave up his gardener job for one in maintenance.

Rules About Tools:
1. USE YOUR OWN!
2. Always cut away from yourself while using sharp knives, axes, hatchets, and chisels.
3. Frequently ignore Rule #2.
4. Know where you local Emergency Room is and someone to take you there.

Rules About Clothes:
1. All your ratty, really comfortable old work clothes started out brand new...yeah, SO?!
2. Dirt is attracted in direct proportion to the newness of the clothes; wear ratty old stuff.
3. Know someone who launders with Amway products!
4. Blood on clothing is like a home-made medal of honor; display spots proudly.

Rules About Music:
1. Play it LOUD!
2. When in doubt, remember Rule #1 in this category.
3. Country and Western are only ONE category.
4. Intersperse Jesus music with rock and roll...it keeps them wondering.

Rules About Everything Else:
1. Walk on The Edge to see a spectacular view.
2. Need parents even if you're well over 50 years of age.
3. Why worry when you can pray?!!
4. Develop a rep and milk it for all its worth!
5. Do Justice, love Mercy, and walk humbly before your God!

Questions?
