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:
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 !
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” !
