Saturday Morning Shenanigans

This morning on the ‘Shenanigans’ it’s an amusing story and some funny cat pics.

So yeah last night at precisely 7:49 PM EDT my dear friend / guardian angel Ms. Ela O. called me up on the telephone to frantically alert me not to take the Zicam to treat my cold (that she had just read about here on my blog). I then told her that I had indeed gone to the Zicam to treat my cold – but that it was NOT the nasal gel or the gel swabs that have been taken off of store shelves because they could (possibly / allegedly) cause loss of smell for life. I’m taking the RapidMelts quick dissolve tablets. Those are safe, and they work great !

The fact that Ela O. took time out of her normal routine to call me up and warn me about Zicam treating my minor cold less than 3 days before she checks in to the hospital for major surgery is truly remarkable. But that’s what Ela is all about. She’s one of the most inspirational gems that I have on this journey. She also makes me laugh like no other. I always love to hear us laughing out loud together.

May God Bless Ela always now and forever, as she continues her enduring fight to physically heal her body. With God in control anything is possible. You just have to believe – and she does.

And now – a trio of very sleepy felines:

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

GRITS stands for Grammatical Revolution In The Spirit, and the duo comes to us from Music City U.S.A. – Nashville Tennessee. They were once part of the legendary group known as dc Talk (also featuring tobyMac). GRITS music has been featured on several movie soundtracks, various MTV shows, and TNA wrestling.

In 2006 they released their 8TH studio album “Redemption”. It included this gem featuring Los Angeles California rapper Pigeon John. It’s “Open Bar”, and it was one of the first hip hop / rap radio singles that I discovered during the first year of my fantastic journey with God. In fact it made me realize that such an eclectic genre of Christian music actually existed in the first place. It’s hip hop and rap music that’s clearly on the side of God. Anything is possible when you are aligned with God. This may be all about an “Open Bar”, but this is not what you think it is. There’s living water in this bar, so get your mind in order. It’s in the lyrics:

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

On this fantastic journey we frequently sing to God. Here’s God singing to us.

Are we listening to Him ?

You break the glass – try to hide your face
Recorded lines that just will not erase
And buried in your loss of innocence
You wonder if you’ll find it again

Was I there for the worst of all your pain ?
And was I there when your blue sky ran away ?
Was I there when the rains were flooding you ?
Off of your feet those were My tears
Falling down for you – falling down for you

Chorus:
I’m the One that you’ve been looking for
I’m the One that you’ve been waiting for
I’ve had My eyes on you ever since you were born
I will love you after the rain falls down
I will love you after the sun goes out
I’ll have My eyes on you after the world is no more

Did I arrange the light of your first day ?
Did I create the rhythm your heart makes ?
Could you believe when your candle starts to fade ?
I want to be the One that you believe
Could take it all away, take your heart away
(Chorus)

Isn’t My life a clear sign since I have crossed over this chasm
To fill the space between Me and you ?
And I will do it all over again
Just look for Me, just wait for Me

The One you’ve been looking for
The One you’ve been waiting for
You won’t have to look anymore
(Chorus)

The One you’ve been looking for
The One you’ve been waiting for

Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

It’s my takeaways from this morning at Life Pointe Church in Homestead Florida.

– Peter and Paul had an argument.
– There was a bit of a conflict between the two of them.
– Conflict is healthy.
– If everything was alike and everyone was identical there’d be no growth.
– No growth equates to death.
– There’s right versus wrong, good versus evil, and Point A versus Point B.
– We all have our own opinions and viewpoints.
– That even includes God-following-and-loving-Christians.
– We should not be spineless jellyfish.
– We should be louder and prouder than the extremely vocal non-believers.
– We should be brutally honest with each other to better ourselves.
– Our honesty should be based on love – not hurt.
– We must be totally obsessed with The Good News.
– The Bible is The Truth like nothing else is.
– The church is a constantly evolving living and breathing body.
– Be the church.

I won’t be at Life Pointe Church next Sunday morning, so if you really wish to know what happens then go and check it out for yourself because nobody else is going to blog about it. There are two services every Sunday morning at the Flagship Cinemas 14 on the south side of Campbell Drive (SW 312TH St. / NE 8TH St.) near the Turnpike. The 1-hour-and-15-minute services begin at precisely 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM. Admission is free, and so is the hot coffee and the delicious bagels with cream cheese. I’ll see you back there on the 28TH of June !
