Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more

– It was another loud and rambunctious Sunday morning at the movie theatre.
– That’s how we roll yo !
– It’s what Satan doesn’t want us to do.
– He can go back where he came from.
– The Grace Of God allows us to follow, worship, and idolize Jesus Christ.
– Even a dude that partied to techno music in 2002 can give it all up to Him.
– ‘Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.’
– We must share the Good News with those who don’t believe in Him.
– We must diminish ourselves and magnify Jesus.
– It must always be all about Him – and no other.
– We must love the world less – and love Him more than any one and any thing.
– We must never let worldly things own us.
– We must not be full of pride.
– We must not boast about any one or any thing except for Jesus.
– We must not build Kingdoms for ourselves.
– The only Kingdom that’s relevant is God’s Kingdom.
– That’s the Kingdom that we must always grow.
– We must always yield to God.
– We must love those who don’t yet know Jesus.
– We are no better than the non-believers.
– None of us are worthy of Him.
– Through the Grace Of God everyone may follow Him.
– We are all His children.

Luke 15:4-7 (NLT, 2ND Ed.)
4  “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do ?  Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it ?
5  And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders.
6  When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’
7  In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away !

Saturday Night Retro

2002 – What can I say about this crazy year in my previous life ?  It kicked-off in a wild way in January – a family vacation en Viva La$ Vega$ – my first visit there. Me, Brother, Mom, and Dad stayed at the New York-New York, and we enjoyed the sights and the sounds of the Las Vegas Strip for the first time ever. We returned to our respective realities (homes) exactly 7 years ago today – on the 24TH of January. Me and my brother had such an excellent time there that we decided to return (on our own) just 4 months later in May 2002. We went back for a 3RD visit in January 2005, and I haven’t been back since. My brother’s been back at least a couple of times since then – most recently a couple of weeks ago (on alleged business).

2002 was also the start (and peak) of my own personal European Techno era in which I totally lived for the hard breakbeats of the house. I think that me and my brother would totally agree that it all started at the RumJungle. We would also agree that it all started with this amazing breakthrough techno track from German DJs Voodoo & Serano. Check it out here for your Retro review:

Bedtime Stories

OK this one is for Ela O., but then again pretty much all of these ‘Bedtime Stories’ are for Ela because this is her obvious favourite occasional series on here. She’d probably prefer to have this as a nightly feature, but I’d rather have her always wanting more.

We talked on the telephone a few nights ago – mostly about one of our favourite passions in the entire universe – food. We both agreed that we can’t wait for Olive Garden to finally open up at the Homestead Pavilion. It’s currently under construction, and it should be open for business before the Summer starts. I’ll be hangin’ out there once or twice a week. I’ll save some room for anyone who wishes to join me – because when you’re there, you’re family.

Buffalo Wild Wings is making its long-awaited South Florida debut. The’re hiring at least 100 people to work their hip new joint at the Southland Mall in Cutler Bay. They’ll be open for business in just a couple of months, and it’ll give me a reasonable excuse to visit the Southland Mall at least once every couple of weeks or so. I love that place. I discovered it during my former regular visits to the Orlando area prior to the start of 2007.

Ela asked if I was planning to walk anywhere special tomorrow morning. I actually plan to sleep in. I may even be a rebel without a clue and stay in bed until perhaps 7:30 AM. That would be like so totally radical dude !  Then again if that doesn’t happen, and I bolt out of bed at 5:55 AM wide awake and ready to start my day then I guess that I’ll do a 2.2-mile ‘Walk-A-Thon’ around my neighbourhood. Of course I’ll blog about it right here on the big green blog.

Well I think that just about covers everything. I’m getting ready for “Howie Do It” on NBC-TV. I like that show. I like Howie. I’ve been a fan for over 25 years. He’s cool like that. He’s in ‘The Major’s Comedy Hall-Of-Fame’.

OK Ela (and everyone else reading this). Take it easy, and I’ll check you out in the morning. Thank You for supporting this blog !

Friday Night Blogroll Review

The Friday night tradition continues:

Travis rumbled at Life Pointe Church Plantation Key last Sunday night.

Kelly, Kourtney, McKenna, and Blake loved the near-freezing cold weather of this past week.

LL Phil J – Not a fan of Techno, Hip Hop, or Death Metal. Techno, Hip Hop, and Death Metal pretty much describes my 20s and 30s !

Jesse wants you to follow him so that he can tweet for you.

Billy tells it like it is on Inauguration Day.

Mark recaps this week’s youth service that he hosted.

So yeah Ritz like ate so much cheese on Wednesday that it made him so delirious enough to actually feel the need to correct my Italian grammar. It’s all good, so I’m like whateverzzz.

Rebecca loves to listen to Brandon Heath, Sanctus Real, and Casting Crowns. She continues to dance around just to keep warm up there in frozen Tallahassee.

Luci and her family were so excited about the new semester of Life Groups that they showed up two weeks early* MAJOR BLOGGIE AWARD WINNER *

Nathan wrecked his motorcycle on I-95 while chasing down evil bank robbers. Who are we kidding here ?  He merely skidded on wet pavement. He lived to tell about it.

This guy is my new favourite blogger who I have not yet met. I feel like I attend his church because I know so much about it.
