  • Our Meeting Place

    When last we met along the way,
    The two of us, or sometimes more,
    Knit close together by the moment,
    Touching.
    Close together by what's common,
    Bonding.
    Close together by what's different,
    Shaping.

    We came away so subtly changed,
    I can't explain, I'm somehow more,
    A growing more inside my thinking,
    Shaped.
    Growing more inside my feeling,
    Bonded.
    Growing more inside my being,
    Touched.

    Loving God with all my heart.
    And loving you, my neighbor too.
    I specially meet to think of Him,
    Glorify.
    Specially meet to think of you,
    Satisfy.
    Specially meet to think of life,
    and record the minutes
    from our last meeting.

Why did God create belly button lint?

Mar 3, 2009

I recently read an important research finding that explains how belly button lint comes to be accumulated in the… well, the belly button.

You can read about it here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,504067,00.html .

But as the story says, “So now that we know how it forms, the next question is — why?”

Why, indeed.

I am a great fan of brainstorming and group thinking. In brainstorming, people present every possible idea they can think of. There are no “bad ideas” at the brainstorming stage.

Are you ready to brainstorm? I hope so.

Just comment below with your theory: “Why did God create belly button lint?”

For every creative idea, I’ll donate another $1 to the Raimi Adoption Fund. (P.S. If we keep this up, I’m going to have to find a sponsor for these little events. If you’re a potential sponsor, e-mail me at mbra...@knowsowgrow.com.)

    “My name is Belly, Belly Button, and I was born under unusual circumstances.”
    – from the major motion picture Belly Button.

    A much better movie than its knock-off, Benjamin Button, Belly Button starts as an Oxford shirt and recedes his way back to his fiber days. His journey is a circuitous one, which takes him into encounters with barbed navel hairs. He does not come away unscathed however, and leaves his mark in the navel passage forever — or at least until the next shower!

    Why? Self-preservation! The male of the species is by far the primary accumulator of belly button lint. Also, the male is designed by his Creator to be a hunter; to be single-focused. Sometimes the focus of the hunt is mastadon; sometimes it’s the next big real estate deal. When not focused on the hunt, the male tends to (ummm) . . . doze off. The female of the species is more intent on relational matters which, unfortunately, tends to cause the male to lose focus on ‘the hunt.’ So, our eternally gracious Maker created belly button lint to allow the male to continue his focus on something (the hunt for the lint) to keep him from dozing off – which amounts to self-preservation.
