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 !

– This Sunday it was the Kids Life turn to entertain us with song and story.
– Our Kids Life Kids are on the right track as our next generation of leaders.
– Lead Pastor Travis kicked-off our new message series for the holiday season.

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.

Saturday Night Retro

It was my 19TH Christmas on Earth back in 1985 – and my first away from home and away from my family. I was newly stationed in the USAF in the United Kingdom by 6½ weeks, so there was no chance at all that I could take leave and return back home stateside for the holidays.

While I have vivid memories of my two years spent living, working, and playing in the U.K. I don’t remember much from that Christmas of 1985 away from my loved ones. I don’t remember if I was invited out to a coworker’s home, or if I stayed at the dorm and walked to the chow hall for a very special dinner. It was obviously a cold and forgettable holiday season in my life back then.

Here’s a song that I actually do remember from that Christmas, for it was the coveted Christmas # 1 smash on the radio all across the British Isles. It’s from one of the biggest-selling male artists in British music history. He’s Shakin’ (‘Shaky’) Stevens, and THIS is “Merry Christmas Everyone” !

The Major’s Friday Night Disco Party

Disco Ball

Last week at the ‘Disco Party’ I featured Tavares with their Bicentennial (Summer Of 1976) hit from up above – “Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel”. It’s 1 of about 20 TOP 40 hits since the rock era began (in the 1950s) that start with that very special word “Heaven”. You may also remember “Heaven” from Bryan Adams (and also DJ Sammy, Los Lonely Boys, and Warrant) – or how about Belinda Carlisle‘s # 1 smash from 1987 – “Heaven Is A Place On Earth”. There’s also Donna Summer‘s TOP 5 Disco smash “Heaven Knows”.

But this week I’ve got a Pointer Sister who branched out on her own during the late-1970s. She’s Bonnie Pointer, and she scored an incredible feat late in 1979. You see Disco allegedly died on a hot July night in 1979 at a Chicago White Sox baseball game. But a few leftover Disco songs on the charts never got the memo – including this one. Here’s Bonnie Pointer with “Heaven Must Have Sent You” – a TOP 15 Disco smash from the Autumn Of 1979 – several months after Disco allegedly died at Comiskey Park.
