The Worthless Thread for Specifically Increasing Post Numbers

[Twisted]

Tour group did a great job.  Very good attendance.  Heard some sad news last night though... Two pastors, one a 17 year veteran at his church is moving on and another church is losing its pastor after he had been there for less than 3 years... 

Why is it sad news?  Pastors change churches all the time.

Sad, for at least one of the churches where they loved their pastor of 17 years.  The look on their faces said it all.  I didn't know the other pastor.

"The look on their faces said it all." - You were there?

Several of his church members were there at my church last night to see the tour group sing.  They told me that their pastor resigned.  I have known this family for over 20 years.

The visiting family or the pastor for 20 years?

The family.

Well, if they're close enough to visit, then.....

We lit off fireworks last night and ate watermelon.  What did Twisted do and everyone else do?

 

[16KJV11]

I love Thanksgiving when we pray,

And July 4th and Labor Day

With picnics, ants, and hungry flies,

And barbecue and hot french fries,

With Cokes and chips and apple pies

Beneath some hazy, lazy skies.

I love Miami's royal palm

That oozes forth a healing balm.

Beside the oceans quiet calm.

And Betsy Ross, and Orville Wright

And dear Ben Franklin's flying kite;

And Thomas Jefferson's mightly quill,

And Alamo, and Bunker Hill

And Paul Revere's midnight ride,

And Wilbur Wright's successful glide.

I love United's friendly skies

And baseball when the umpire cries

?Play ball!? as thousands quietly rise

To turn their moistened sober eyes

Toward waving flag that proudly flies.

And Casey Stengal's Stengaleze

And Dairy Queen and Tastee Freeze

And cotton candy at the zoo

And corny dogs and Big Macs too

And Burger Kings and Shopping Malls

And hockey pucks and basket balls

And Mississippi's cotton fields

And Holland, Michigan?s spinning wheels;    (Was this before Holland, Michigan's most notorious son entered the fray?)

Monotonous midwestern plains,

Florida?s sun, Seattle?s rams.

Atlanta's lovely, dogwood trails

And Santa Fe's long clicking rails

I love the Rocky Mountain peaks

Beneath a sky which mutely speaks;

And Disney World, and Disney Land,

And Georgia's fertile blood-red sand:

The Mississippi, and Rio Grande;

Wisconsin's cheese and dairy land.

I love McDonald's chocolate shakes,      AMEN, GLORY TO GOD, HALLELUJAH

And Minnesota's thousand lakes;

The Royal Gorge's mighty yawn

A sleepy Alabama dawn

The harvest moon that shineth on.

I love to gaze at Yellowstone

While licking on an ice cream cone.

And Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge;

And Ford, and Chevrolet, and Dodge.

I love the stately Empire State,

And San Francisco?s Golden Gate.

I love St. Loius' friendly arch.

The Statue of Liberty's burning torch

The Washington Monument's prickly goad

And Colorado's trail ridge road.

I love "My Country, Tis of Thee,"

Oh, blessed land of liberty.

Long may our glorious land be bright,

With freedom's wondrous holy light,

Protect us by Thy matchless might.

I love to stand with hand o'er heart

And think of those who did their part,

Who left a mom a lone gold star,

Whose bodies rest 'neath fields afar.

I love New England's rolling farms,

Its quaint decor and blushing charms.

I love the azalea's freshened blooms,

East Texas' roses sparkling prunes.

I love it when my church choir sings,

And know the peace that worship brings.

Their beats within my breast a dream

That that small faint flickering gleam

Will soon become a mighty flame

To spread to all His matchless name:

That those dear four who call me "Dad"

Will know the country I have had;

Where freedom's flag flies proud and high,

And those dear ones may loudly cry,

Going down to WV to pick up my son from camp. 
He had a friend who asked him to attend so he actually wanted to go.
I asked several people to pray for him.  He is going through a difficult period in his life. 
He called us last night weeping and confessing and sharing his love for us and wanting to do God's will.
His friend had some real heart to heart talks with him about his struggles.
Along with his friend and the preaching and intercessory prayer, God worked in ways that approached miraculous.
He'll be 17 in August and a senior this year in High School.

We lit off fireworks last night and ate watermelon.  What did Twisted do and everyone else do?

The ward spent the night fasting and praying for the needs of America.

We prayed that God would spare our country and restore us to the old paths.

We prayed that God would save Donald Trump and his family.

We prayed that God would save the Congress and restore it to follow our Constitution.

We prayed for backslidden FFF'ers (you know who they are) that would repent and return to regular posting.

We prayed for those who are pastoring a shrinking number of those wanting to be faithful.  To help them to keep on keeping on.

We prayed that God would smite the evil one and reduce his influence.

We prayed that Holy Ghost conviction would fall and sinners everywhere would repent.

I'd say that's about it.  Glad you had a good night.

We did that Tuesday night!
We still had prayer meeting even when the tour group was there!!!!
So, we still lit off fireworks and ate watermelon last night...

You didn't ask what we did Tuesday night.  8)

It sounds like going to camp was the right place for him to be.

Thankful for his tender heart to listen and heed.

I know you are happy!!!

The Lord sure does answer prayer.

So, Twisted, how are things at the Ward today?

 

[16KJV11]

Twisted must have been a bad boy, all his privileges revoked, solitary confinement, Sunbeam and water diet.

Twisted is a bad boy.

Was driven to another clinic and just now got access to Nurse Ratched's laptop,

It's nice to be missed.

 

[Twisted]

Remember the Sabbath.

 

[16KJV11]

Remember Pearl Harbor!

Excited to see who our guest chaplain will be today.

I heard that the chaplain from San Quentin will be visiting your ward.  Ought to be interesting.
