Mike Where can I find this information in "the orange book"? I mean, if it's not in there, how can I trust that it's accurate? After all, God surely wouldn't give VPW revelation, the likes of which the world hasn't known for 2,000 years, and leave this stuff out, right?

I hate to rain on anyone's parade, but here's what it says in my PLAF syllabus. Page 1/ 1968 edition --------------------------------------------------------------------- TO RECEIVE ANYTHING FROM GOD WE MUST KNOW: 1. What is Available (various scriptures cited) 2. How to Receive 3. What to do with it after we have it 4. Need and Want must be parallel (various scriptures cited) 5.God's Ability equals God's Willingness (various scriptures cited) ------------------------------------------------------------------ There's no mention of steps #4 and 5 being optional in the event that steps #1--3 aren't cutting the mustard. It says that this is what one MUST know to receive anything from God. It lists 5 criteria that MUST be met to receive anything from God. What's so "complicated"? Either it says that or it doesn't.

Thanks, Dooj I read that article by Zigler. It sounds just like the concept of the little boy. It's "mumbo-jumbo". In the least common denominator, it is really talking about unwarranted fears. That's why it is referred to as being false. Trying to apply this kind of thinking to tangible dangers is foolishness. I read some of Zigler's materials years ago. If I recall correctly, they are designed to be used as motivational tools for sales people,.

Oh my!That is, indeed, sad news.So young and so very talented.Didn't Polar Bear's wife share a stage with him recently?Not that it matters ---So sorry to hear this.

I think that, perhaps, the obsession with speaking in tongues "much" in your mind was a part of it also. You have to turn off your critical thinking while you are doing it. Of course, that's not always a bad thing. One could use the technique to refocus and refresh provided they were cognizant that this was the desired end. (similar to a TM mantra.)

This is from esermons.com When I think of making sacrifices I think of E. Stanley Jones, perhaps United Methodism’s most famous foreign missionary. He authored over a dozen books and converted hundreds of Hindus in India to Christianity. He is the only person of which I am aware who was voted in abstentia to become a bishop. When he received the news, he turned it down. One day E. Stanley Jones came to Emory University and spoke to a Systematic Theology class. One of the students asked him why he turned down the episcopacy. He laughingly replied that if he became a bishop he would have to retire at age 70. "I am now 82," he said, "and I am still going strong." Then someone asked him: what do you think of the Beatitudes? Several students picked up their pens expecting something profound and they got it. Here's what he said: "At first sight, you felt they turned everything upside down. At second sight, you understand that they turn everything right side up. The first time you read them they are impossible. The second time you read them, nothing else is possible. The beatitudes are not a chart for Christian duty. They are a charter for Christian liberty.” Does that phrase sound familiar? I have seen that also but can't remember where either.

And let's not forget Digger O'Dell. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_of_Riley "Living the life of Riley" suggests an ideal life of prosperity and contentment, possibly living on someone else's money, time or work. Rather than a negative freeloading or golddigging aspect, it instead implies that someone is kept or advantaged.

You are correct, sir! Actually, it predates Cannibal and the Head Hunters, but they are the ones who put in that "na na na na" part that has become an essential part of the tune. Wilson Picket is the one who made it a big hit. Rock On!!

Couldn't find any banjos but I found this.

Ok Here's an easier one. -------------------------------------------------- You gotta know how to pony Like Bony Maronie Mash potatah Do the alligatah

Speaking of stories, there is one that Herr Doktor tells in CF&S. It seems a young lady came to him distraught that her breasts had developed unequally. In her mind, she thought she looked deformed. He counseled her in private, examined her breasts and assured her she was "beautiful". (Or did he say "gorgeous"?) And ya know, somehow I believe that particular stowree is true.

Which version do you prefer, Mike, the version with the red drapes or the one without?

It's really nothing more than another recipe for mind over emotion. (With a little God tossed in the chili pot.) ------------------------------------------------------------- Me thinks old "Doc" was not such a good "cook", eh?

Amen to that, Brother!!

I googled it. I guess I should have known it. (Lord knows I'm old enough!) *Sigh*

Is there a link for that? I'm just curious how it reads.

Here's a way to do the birthday thing: ---------------------------- Year + Year/4(ignore decimal) + Day + SV ______________________ -----------7----------- SV Table(Significant Value) ----------- Jan=0-------------July =6 Feb=3-------------August=2 March=3----------Sept.=5 April=6-----------Oct.=0 May=1------------Nov.=3 June=4-----------Dec.=5 So----- here's an example: 10/11/1940(use only the last two digits of the year) 40+10(because that is 40/4)+ 11 + 0 __________________________________ =8 with a remainder of 5 ---------------7-------------------------------- The remainder tells you the day of the week, using this chart: 0=Sun. 1=Mon. 2=Tues. 3=Wed. 4=Thurs. 5=Fri. 6=Sat. Thus, 10/11/1940 was a Friday. Note Dividing by 4 adjusts for leap year. Dividing by 7 adjusts for the number of days in a week -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That little trick is in one of the "Human Calculator" lessons that Scott Flansburg did a few years ago

Yeah, sure, that's what they all say. Next thing you know, you find out they've really run away to join the circus and are spending their days hauling water to the pachy-derms. So, get those elephants watered and fed and hurry on back here just as soon as you can!! That's an order, Missy! xxxooo

Maybe we should have given him The Key To The Highway.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-EilP59o_g...feature=related

Now there's a thought. They gave him a key to the city. That's a pretty noteworthy news event. I'll bet it's a piece of cake to research the Jabalpur Daily Gazette from 1/23/1955.

E. Stanley Jones From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other persons named Stan or Stanley Jones, see Stan Jones (disambiguation). E. Stanley Jones E. Stanley Jones E. (Eli) Stanley Jones (1884-1973) was a 20th century Methodist Christian missionary and theologian.

Simon P. C. John This box: view • talk • edit He is remembered chiefly for his interreligious lectures to the educated classes in India, thousands of which were held across the Indian subcontinent during the first decades of the 20th century. According to his and other contemporary reports, his friendship for the cause of Indian self-determination allowed him to become friends with leaders of the up-and-coming Indian National Congress party. He spent much time with Mahatma Gandhi, and the Nehru family. Gandhi challenged Jones and, through Jones' writing, the thousands of Western missionaries working there during the last decades of the British Raj, to include greater respect for the mindset and strengths of the Indian character in their work. This effort to contextualize Christianity for India was the subject of his seminal work, The Christ of the Indian Road (ISBN 0-687-06377-9), which sold more than 1 million copies worldwide after its publication in 1925. He is also the founder of the Christian Ashram movement. He is sometimes considered the "Billy Graham of India". [edit] Writings A unique feature of some of his books (eg, Abundant Living, ©1942) is that while they could be read from beginning to end as normal, they were presented in the format of a page-a-day daily reading featuring a Bible reference, a page of his writing, and a concluding sentence or phrase for meditation. These are the British publishers' titles; American titles may be different.

Hiya, DWBH Just wondering if you wanted to "dedicate" that last number to anyone in particular. ;)
