  1. So tonight we took our sister missionaries to dinner. I forgot how it came up, but come to find out, one of the sisters' uncle is Mark Deakins, who played Jesus in "The Lamb of God." He's also been in several other movies, and has done several episodes of Star Trek. The sister missionary's name is Kelsey Deakins. I just thought that was pretty neat.
  2. Just rented "Blended" for the second time. Wonderful flick. Definitely on my Christmas list.
  3. I have what is probably an unhealthy crush on um...Severus Snape.
  4. You are very welcome. To the OP I only have this to offer:'Twas battered and scarred, and the auctioneer thought it scarcely worth his while To waste his time on the old violin, but he held it up with a smile. "What am I bid, good friends," he cried, "Who'll start the bidding for me? One dollar! Only one? And who'll make it two? Two dollars once, and three... Three dollars once, and three dollars twice, and going and going..." But no. From the back of the room, a gray haired man came up and picked up the bow. And wiping the dust from the old violin, and tightening the loose strings He played a melody pure and sweet as caroling angels sing. The music ceased, and the auctioneer, in a voice that was quiet and low, said "What am I bid for the old violin," As he held it up with the bow. "One thousand dollars! And who"ll make it two? Two thousand, and three! Three thousand once, and three thousand twice, and going, and going, and gone!" said he. The people cheered, but some of them cried, "We don't quite understand...what changed its worth?" Swift came the reply, "'Twas the touch of the master's hand." And many a man, with life out of tune, and battered and scarred with sin Is auctioned cheap to the thoughtless crowd, much like this old violin. A mess of pottage, a glass of wine, a game, and he travels on. He's going once, and going twice, and going and almost gone. But the Master comes, and the thoughtless crowd never can quite understand the worth of a soul, and the change that is wrought by the touch of the Master's hand. Your wife is a daughter of God and a sister of Christ, no matter what she says or does. It is my prayer for you that you will seek Their help in this matter, and that the touch of the Master's hand may be made manifest in both your lives.
  5. I think it will be fascinating and am looking forward to it. I believe that the gift of "interpretation of tongues" applies to what the Spirit can impart in these types of circumstances, as well as physical interpretation in reading or hearing a language unfamiliar to us. I'm looking forward to seeing if I have that particular Spiritual gift of understanding. I know there will be subtitles, but I want to see what I can understand from FEELING, as well as just reading. Does this make sense? I read through it and am not sure I correctly said the idea I'm trying to get across
  6. The sky is falling. My cookie.
  7. If it were me, I wouldn't wear my garments for this one activity. As far as I understand it, it is permitted to not wear them for certain sports, such as basketball, etc. And for any other logical reason or circumstance where they would be visible to the public or become damaged, again it's my understanding that they can be left off. I was taught that much of whether one goes without their garments or not during an activity depends on the intent behind not wearing them; As long as they are put back on as soon as is reasonably possible, I see no problem with not wearing them just that one time. To me, your reasons for not wearing them would be legitimate in this circumstance. If I am incorrect in this, someone please set me straight. It's just what I was taught many years ago when I first got mine. Hope this helps. One last thing though. Unless there is a reasonable and logical circumstance for not wearing them, they should be worn at all times. Like, it's not ok to take them off just because one is "too hot" in them or something.
  8. You're giving a talk in Church right NOW!! My cookie.
  9. The police are looking for you. My cookie.
  10. (Can't stop laughing for some reason...) armpits. So I
  11. Look! Ants in the kitchen again! My cookie...
  12. Thank God he is unharmed. What a terrifying experience it must have been!
