I went to the Monticello Billie football game last night to video. So that's what I did for the first half. Jim Carmical who played for the Billies last year was back from Mississippi State to watch the game. He wanted to video the second half for me so he could get down on the field and smell the players. Some people really like the smell of sweaty young football players. Anyway, he videoed the second half and I sat in the stands and watched the game, the crickets and the grasshoppers. When crickets and grasshoppers fly they are completely out of control. They crash land every time, just smashing into the seats or whatever. It's like they don't know where they are going, how to get there, or how to land when they DO get there. I don't want to be like that. I do want to fly, but I want to know where I am going and I want to make a smooth landing when I get there.
We were ahead 21 to 0 so I was fairly board and found myself watching the clock and wishing it would hurry up so I could go on home. Jim was having way too much fun on the sideline to think of my leaving early and spoiling his enjoyment. This all made me think of watching girls basketball games with Elliott. I used to tell him that a full minute never ran off the clock all at once, because of countless infractions. 5 seconds - ball out of bounds. 15 seconds - walking. 10 seconds - foul. We would get so excited if they made it to 30 seconds. I think the record was 46 seconds. That was when the referees got so fed up they just quit calling stuff, but then this one girl got the other girl down and was really pounding her, so they just had to call a foul - 46 seconds.

I watched"Edward Scissorhands" yesterday. I hadn't ever seen it before. I mainly just wanted to see what Johnny Depp looked like before he became a pirate. It was fairly entertaining all the way thru til the end. What a stupid ending! This is fiction - the writer could end it any way they wanted and this is what they decided on? NOT GOOD. Let me suggest another ending. The girl always proclaiming Edward to be the devil, actually accepts Christ and becomes a wholehearted believer. Then she begins to share Christ with the whole neighborhood and one by one they all are radically and soundly saved and begin to redecorate their houses inside and out. The daughter girl gets saved and invites Edward to a healing service where he recieves brand new hands, but keeps all his cool trimming talent. The guy that fell thru the window and died is resurrected from the dead which causes full scale revival to break out. Then Edward marries the girl in a great castle ceremony (I would be the photographer and Taylor could video) and they live happily ever after - for all eternity. Cool ending.

This is That . . .
There is a missions base in Kansas City called the International House Of Prayer (IHOP). On September 19, 1999 they began 24/7 praise, worship and intercession. They have not stopped, and their mandate is to continue until Jesus comes. There are about 400 full time intercessors. They consider themselves to be prayer missionaries, praying for revival, peace in Jerusalem, for Jesus to return, for hearts to be set on fire for Christ, etc, etc. Each worship team has singers, guitar players, keyboard players, drummers, etc. There is a reader who reads God's word and then the singers will sing the word back to God as worship and intercession. That is called "Harp and Bowl". They also sing all manner of worship songs. Each set lasts two hours and then another team steps in and takes over without the worship ever stopping. As I am here and you are there, they are in the prayer room keeping the prayer furnace burning. It is a powerful place of encountering God's heart.
