A mother was teaching her three-year-old the Lord’s prayer. For several evenings at bedtime she repeated it after her mother. One night she said she was ready to solo. The mother listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word, right up to the end of the prayer. “Lead us not into temptation,” she prayed, “but deliver us some E-mail, Amen.”
I came across this quote today from a man that says,”May God bless the hell out of you!”
“I contend that one reason people don’t care much for God is that some members of the … (the Church) have misrepresented our Father. If I asked you to tell me the first thing that pops into your mind when I say the word “Christian,” I bet you money that you wouldn’t say, “Life of the party.” That’s a shame, because the God I know and the God that Jesus showed us likes it when we rejoice before him. He wants to be invited to our parties, but some prefer that we keep him safely locked away in church. The result? God gets no respect.”

Has personal technology, like the IPOD, caused us to lose the concept of community? Your thoughts?
A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan, in which a man was beaten, robbed and left for dead.
She described the situation in vivid detail so her students would catch the drama. Then she asked the class, “If you saw a person lying on the roadside all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?”
A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, “I think I’d throw up!”

The rule for us all is perfectly simple. Do not waste time bothering whether you “love” your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him. C. S. Lewis

These are the blogs that I thought were “SUPER” this week:
Jim Martin ( A Place For The God Hungry) has a great post about Bringing Honor to Marriage. Jim’s blog is a must read.
Josh Graves (Jesus Feast) is one of the Kingdom’s bright young minds. His post, Seven Things Luke Wants Me To Know, gave me seven topics that I have thought about ever since. Thanks to Joss for this great post. (even if he can not pick a good sports town)
Josh Ross (Learning What It Means To Live) is another great talent in the Kingdom. His post, A Changing World, has us focused on the challenges of sharing Christ to the present culture.
Red Hot Momma gives a lighter side of marriage and of self. I would suggest you read, Love The One Your With. Be kind today. WARNING: rated PG for brief nudity.
HAVE A BLESSED WEEK BY BEING A BLESSING.
Little Jacob had a hard time getting use to a new baby in the house. Coming out of his bedroom talking rather loud and being told to be quiet, the baby is asleep, he very seriously said, “Well ya’ll better be quiet, cause my foot`s asleep.”

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, “Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?”
The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. “I can’t, dear,” she said. “I have to sleep in Daddy’s room.”
A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice: “The big sissy.”

After putting her children to bed, a mother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin.
At last she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings.
As she left the room, she heard her three-year-old say with a trembling voice, “Who was that?”

An acquaintance of mine who is a physician told this story about her then four-year-old daughter. On the way to preschool, the doctor had left her stethoscope on the car seat, and her little girl picked it up and began playing with it. Be still, my heart, thought my friend, my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps!
Then the child spoke into the instrument: “Welcome to McDonald’s. May I take your order?”

A new neighbor asked the little girl next door if she had any brothers and sisters. She replied, “No, I’m the lonely child.”

One day a guy was driving with his four-year-old daughter and beeped his car horn by mistake.
She turned and looked at him for an explanation.
He said, “I did that by accident.”
She replied, “I know that, Daddy.”
He replied, “How’d you know?”
The girl said, “Because you didn’t say ‘JERK’ afterwards!”
Dear Father,
Forgive us for being so self-centered, self-promoting, self- gratifying, self-righteous, self-indulgent and self-absorbed.
Forgive us for not truly worshipping You.
Forgive us for not surrendering all parts of our lives to You.
Forgive us for thinking we can do some parts of life better without You.
Forgive us for our worry and not trusting You.
Father we thank You for all things in our lives, and mostly we thank You for giving us Your Son Jesus, who died for our shortcomings and our sins so that we may live an eternal life in Your presence.
In His name, Amen.
I found an old blog that has been abandoned called the Dullest Blog in the World. Here are a few entries:
Some pencils were scattered around on my desk. I picked them up one by one. I placed the pencils in the drawer which I use to store pencils.
================================
There was a cupboard in the corner of the room. I reached out my hand and gripped the door handle. I pulled the door towards me, thereby opening the cupboard.
================================
I was standing at a central point in the room. The walls were all at approximately the same distance from me. I continued to stand there for a few moments.
================================
My knee had a slight itch. I reached out my hand and scratched the knee in question. The itch was relieved and I was able to continue with my activities.
================================
There was an object occupying a space on my table. Using my hand I picked up the item from its place. Having considered my options for a moment I placed the object on a different area of the table.
================================
I was standing quite near to a wall. I turned my attention towards it for a few moments. Having done this for several seconds I turned away from it and carried on doing something else.
================================
I AM SORRY THAT I WASTED YOUR TIME.
This is why I do not wear a tie on Sunday.
