So #fivewordstoruinadate is trending on the Twitterverse.  I’ve seen a couple come through my timeline and the funniest so far is “I’ve never watched Star Trek?”  That would certainly be a game changer.  Now, since I’ve been happily married to Mrs. Greenbean before the invention of the wheel, I don’t have much experience with dating anymore.  That’s a good thing.

I did, however, come up with a couple of zingers–although I didn’t tweet them because as an old married man who doesn’t date I think it would be creepy.  But here are mine.

Okay, I said it had been awhile since I’ve dated.  However, one thing I do know a lot about is preaching.  In many ways preaching can be like being on a date–every word is closely scrutinized and can be understood differently by the hearer than what the speaker intended.  So, here are some five words to ruin a sermon.
