  • Edit ADD: So, what does make Joey so bad?? 'Cause I just can't put my finger on it...

    Just a couple of nuggets for now:

    ===
    John 3:30
    He must become greater; I must become less.
    ===
    John the Baptist talking about he and Jesus. Jesus must become greater and John (or in our case, you or me) must become less. This should be a foundational belief or core attitude value for a Christ-follower. Let Jesus become greater in you, and let YOU become less in you. Only then will we be more like Christ--by our surrender and admittal that Jesus has control of us, and that HE is the most important part of me.

    ----
    Luke 18:16
    But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
    ----

    Coming to Christ like a child requires displaying four characteristics:
    1) Total Dependence
    2) Frank Openness
    3) Complete Sincerity
    4) Full Trust

    Wow. I have these written on a little card that has been in my pocket for like, a month. I look at it all the time and wonder-"am depending Totally on Christ?" etc...it is a great reminder that the attitude I have with my heavenly Father should be similar to the attitude that my 4-year-old has with me. Total Dependence, Frank Opennes, Complete Sincerity, and Full Trust.

    On another note:
    In my archiving of SNL sketches, I have taken to finding the exact date of that show and catagorizing the clips by date and host. So my folder looks like this...

    1990 01/20 Christopher Walken
    1991 03/16 Michael J Fox
    1993 09/25 Charles Barkley
    1997 01/11 Kevin Spacey
    1997 05/19 Pamela Anderson
    1998 02/14 Roma Downey
    1998 02/07 John Goodman
    1998 05/09 David Duchovny
    1999 Best of Steve Martin

    and so on...
    not the entire episodes, mind you. Just the funny parts, imho.
    Yeah, organization rocks!

  • I know what you mean when you say becoming like a child. Nathaniel is my example for the walk that I want to have with our Lord and Savior. I mean, Christ is his best friend. He is REAL to him! Instead of having an imanginary friend Nathain has Jesus. When he is playing alone and you ask him if he would like to come and play with some of the other children , he has, on more than one occaision, said "No , I think I'll just hang out here with Jesus"...   When I  asked him how he learned  to whistle he said that "Jesus taught him"  When one of the children here at the Preschool is having a probllem with something,  he takes them by the hand and says "Let's ask Jesus for help" ...AMAZING!!!  Jesus is REAL to Nathaniel, and I pray that some day my walk will be as close as his. We could all learn alot from this 4 year old.

  • Regarding X-files, I need Season 3 on... :)    Pretty please.

  • that's because she is under water... that movie is going to be so cool.

  • He is at it again...

  • Because it's not Friends.

    You need to Tivo the episode from 2003 with Matthew Maconaghey hosting... the opening "political" sketch is quite possibly one of the funniest opening sketches I have seen, perhaps with the exception of Rachel Dratch auditioning for American Idol as the girl with the arm growing out of her head who drools.
