I think I’ll take a play from JJStables playbook – and do a little wandering in the blog tonight. I’ve got a few things going on and they are all immensely important. *sarcasm alert* So, I figure I can try to touch on each of them.
Tonight I got an email from Pdiddy that was very encouraging. He wanted to let me know about how during family devotion one of his many younglings expressed a desire for God to instill faith in him. This, I agree with Pdiddy, is incredible. What a blessing to us, as parents, to see God work in our children’s lives. What a blessing to be a part of that, imperfectly as we are. God has chosen the family – our families – to be a vessel by which the Scriptures are poured into our children’s lives. Wow! Very cool – and very sobering – because with every great privilege – there comes great responsibility….
Just got done watching Back to the Future on AMC DVD-TV tonight. You know, it is where they take the movie and then put little blurbs at the bottom thorughout the movie about what is happening in the lives of the actors now – and interesting tidbits about the movie that you might never have known. For instance, did you know that Billy Zane of Titanic fame was one of Biff’s cronies in the film? Or how about the fact that the script was written in 1981 – but nobody really wanted to make the movie – until the script writers had success with Romancing the Stone in 1984? Useless info, I know…….
18 days, 12 hours and 41 minutes to the start of the 2006 Dawgs Season. Still no word on who the starting QB will be…..
Several times over the past week – during family devotion – we have prayed that God would strengthen the IDF and enable them to decimate Hezbollah – while imparting His mercy on the the innocent men, women and children on each side. What think ye?…..
Lately, the musical ear has been turned to Genesis and Phil Collins – retro, from the 80′s. A smidge of melancholy – and a smidge of good music. Don’t know too much of Collins from the 90′s, since he’s not CCM – it was not very spiritual of me to listen to him *sarcasm alert*….
Goodnight folks….
Gonna hit on all of your points except the UGA season starting as I am not quite as pumped as you are.
Would be great to hear my son Stephen ask for faith to be instilled in him one day. For now we just pray for him as his search continues.
Marty what if I’m no good…I don’t know if I could handle that kind of a rejection. What? 1.21 Jiggawats? What are you looking at butthead? My favorite movie! Some of my own recent trivia….The guy that played Biff Tannen (Thomas Wilson) was in the recent “Larry the Cable Guy” movie as Larry’s boss. A much funnier movie than Talladega Nights. One of the funniest things was that in this movie he is really 21 years older than the BTTF original movie in 1985 and he looks in real life exactly like the Biff did in the 1985 scenes when he wrecked the McFly’s car and at the end when he was washing George’s Car. They aged him 30 years there. What great makeup back then. Rent the Larry movie and be prepared for lots of funny and childish bathroom humor but nothing that would really offend as the Talladega nights saying grace or homosexual focus parts did.
I like the prayer for the IDF as you know what I believe about our friendship and support of Israel as a nation….
Psalms 122:6 (Pray for the peace of Jerusalem : May they prosper who love you)
Phil Collins? Yep that was that evil secular muzak that use to burn my ears and make me start to shake all over as an Independent Fundamental Baptist dude. Oh wait…that was just me dancing. Even worse.
Another subject. I was enjoying Petra and Sandi Patti back then for real.
Watched BTTF last night too. It kept me up past my new bedtime but what a great film.
