My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

My 40-month celebration on God’s fantastic journey that He created especially for me continues through this whimsical month of December 2009. It all went down on an unsuspecting me on a random weekday morning in August of 2006. God knew exactly what He was up to at the time, and I fell right into His open arms. He rescued me from the darkness, saved me from hell’s gates, and urged me to follow Him. I did. I continue to enthusiastically and overwhelmingly trust Him and love Him with all of my mind, heart, and soul. He is my highest priority in this new Life.

Here’s a song that played a prominent role as part of the eclectic soundtrack of my new Life at the infancy of my fantastic journey during the first 6 months of 2007 – also my first 6 months at Life Pointe Church. It’s John Reuben‘s “Word Of Mouth”. This is what everybody’s talking about. So you can tell somebody to tell somebody that what’s happening has already happened again.

It’s in the lyrics:

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

1.  My brother, his 4½-month pregnant wife, and their dog are driving well over 1,000 miles northeast this Friday from the northeastern suburbs of Dallas Texas to northwestern Ohio. They will be taking turns driving the Interstate highway system – perhaps in 4-hour shifts – until they reach their destination. They will spend a festive Christmas week hanging out with her side of the family. Please pray that their journey up and over to Ohio and then back home to Texas is safe from all harm.

2.  Last Thursday night within my ‘Mini Thoughts’ I announced ‘a major continental shift in the jet stream’ with ‘temperatures of 25 to 35 degrees colder than now’. Are ya ready my friends ?  It’s gonna happen – really ! – this weekend !  Some of the coldest air of the winter season is getting ready to dive deep into the southeastern U.S. and even into the subtropical Caribbean. On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday we could actually struggle to reach the 70°F mark, and we probably won’t even make it. Look for highs mostly in the mid-60s on those three days with early-morning low temperatures possibly dropping all the way down into the lower-40s in and around the Homestead area (a bit milder at the beaches).

3.  With less than 10 days before Christmas I’ve got an updated score in the annual Christmas Card Derby – 22 to 10. Translation – I’ve sent out (either mailed or hand-delivered) 22 Christmas cards thus far, and I’ve received 10. Time is running out. I’ve got a few more to send out, and I’ve got a whole lot more to receive. As is always the case Christmas cards will be gladly accepted through the ‘Twelve Days Of Christmas’.

4.  Last Friday night me and my girlfriend ate Dinner at P.F. Chang’s up at The Falls in Kendall. It was my very first visit to that particular location. I’ve been to the one near my brother’s and sister’s-in-law house in Allen Texas. It was perhaps the most delicious Chinese Food meal that I’ve tasted in quite some time, and I’ve enjoyed a lot of great Chinese Food in my lifetime. I especially adored the banana spring rolls with strawberries and ice cream for dessert. I’m looking forward to future visits to Chang’s to experiment with some of their other delicious menu items.

5.  Staying on the subject of delicious food (clearly one of my favourite subjects) tomorrow for Lunch me and a coworker and our supervisour will be enjoying a relaxing extended meal at Los Ranchos up at The Falls. I’ve eaten there a bunch of times for Dinner, but not for Lunch. I never even knew that they were open for Lunch – or even had a special Lunch menu. Incidentally their official web site is at the domain name beststeakinmiami.com. I don’t know if I would go that far, but it is some good eatin’ !

Be sure to catch more thoughts o’ mine this Thursday night here on the blog.

Monday Night Funnies

Your occasional contributions to the hot new runaway weekly hit series ‘Monday Night Funnies’ are greatly appreciated. If it made you giggle with glee then chances are that it will allow someone else to turn that frown upside down as well.  Simply send your ‘G’ or ‘PG’-rated contributions to my personal E-M address. If you don’t know what my personal E-M address is then chances are that I don’t wish to receive E-M from you !

This week my brother in Texas provides the ‘Funny’. He’s a HUGE ice hockey fan (and former player). He sent me this hilarious montage of Randy Moller goal calls. Randy played in the NHL for about 13 seasons during the 1980s and into the 1990s. Nowadays he’s the play-by-play announcer for the Florida Panthers on South Florida’s Sports Talk 790 AM ‘The Ticket’.

HILARIOUS STUFF !

Be sure to catch more ‘Funnies’ next Monday night. Same blog channel.

Until we chuckle again – REMEMBER THIS !

Life Pointe Church - 13 December 2009 to 10 January 2010

– We are here on God’s Great Creation to continue the work that Jesus started.
– We are His arms, His hands, His legs, and His feet doing His work.
– Those in this world who don’t believe in Him shall be blessed by us.
– We represent Jesus to those who don’t yet know Him.
– We must love those who curse us and hate us.
– We must wear our love at all times – when we are seen and not seen.

John 1:1-5 (NLT, 2ND Ed.)
1  In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2  He existed in the beginning with God.
3  God created everything through Him, and nothing was created except through Him.
4  The Word gave Life to everything that was created, and His life brought light to everyone.
5  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.

John 1:14
14  So the Word became human and made His home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen His glory, the glory of the Father’s One and Only Son.
