How Many Lights

There were three moments that were worth being in front of the TV last night- the Sandy Hook choir, the Budweiser horse commercial, and that amazing 109 yard touchdown. Otherwise, I felt like I was sitting in front of someone torturing me telling me to tell him there were five lights when I could clearly see only four. This feeling permeates life lately.

Obama: women should be in combat. How many lights do you see?
Me: Four.
Obama: No, five! (hits torture electrodes attached to my brain.) Boy Scout leaders in charge of young boys should be openly gay. How many lights do you see?
Me: Four
Obama: No, five! (hits torture electrodes attached to my brain.)
Superbowl halftime planner: Let me take over sir...this is a difficult case. Beyonce was a talented and exciting person for young women (and men especially) to watch and emulate. How many lights do you see?
Me: Four
Superbowl halftime planner: No, five! (hits torture electrodes attached to my brain.)
Beyonce's performance was in no way an openly sexual, lewd, and distasteful strip tease and soft porn act. How many lights do you see?
Me: Four! I see four lights!!! Doesn't anyone else see four lights!?

Jude 1:17-18,21-23 (NIV)
But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. [18] They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” [21] keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. [22] Be merciful to those who doubt; [23] save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear---hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.
