Why laugh? 🤣

Heard a short on the joy of the Lord is our strength? Made me remember, that is recount, which in working with learners (disciples), is the time to recertify, which is an old but very true Newspaper writer saying: "Tell them, then tell them what you told them, then tell them once more memorably." Huh? How do you make a three time repeat interesting? Remember your first...? 🤣

In my pretty boring, unexciting, calm life; I've been fired lots of times. Sometimes it was on me, sometimes, it was on them- now, watch this one- it's gonna getcha, sometimes it was on God. Ooh that'll make some folk getonup😆But watch this: 

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:1 - And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

Tools

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:2 - And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

Tools

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:3 - Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

God is doing, in your life, you may or, may not be aware of that- when you look back, and count the times😁 that's recounting, remember, recount and recertify is a process with learners(disciples), that as you catch on, you catch on😄

Doctors are supposed to know, if they the medical kind, if they the philosophical kind, if they the theological kind; they supposed to know? So what they practice in medicine is called observe, diagnose, treat, verify. In philosophy that's observe, measure by questioning called hypothesizing, measure by testing, conclude or redo. In theology(God talk) we observe, ("sound familiar?) see Bible or other source material, hypothesize (format question for learning), measure and conclude or redo. All doctorate level knowledge goes back, re certifies, over and over and over endlessly. Remember, recount, recertify, tell them, tell them what you told them, then tell them once more memorably. 

"They laughed 'til they cried..." One my memorable heroes, friend, never to be forgot, George Shuttleworth, military newspaper guy, brilliant man. Had this raspy questioning voice about his blue eyed, six foot, 239 pound, round belly newspaper guy body; and, could make anybody react! George could get "Under your skin" better than any tick, ever! Yet George loved, loved(!), to laugh. We'd do that thing where you just start giggling on purpose and pretty soon- the bunch is laughing too? You've been there...

My talent, yes, it's God given, is gettin' under folks skin- "No Dana tell me it ain't so..." 'Fraid it's true "Young Padawan."(Star wars?) if you can be made hot under the collar, Dana will find the way. It's a miracle of God somebody hasn't taken me out? However...watch this, if you exercise the gift you get really good at finding the line where you'll keep living...but they won't forget? 

Extremes- see them? Joy, mad, they extreme- oh you're gonna hate this one- Jesus handles them all, they're human emotions. How do you get learners(disciples) to go with you back to Jesus? To remember, recount and recertify? This is a suggestion from a gifted heat maker, bring joy? The joy of the Lord is our strength...but, if you wanna ask them a heat it up question like "Oh- you weren't there?" Feel free to laugh a little as you realize often you weren't?John says in concluding his gospel the world couldn’t contain the books...he lived daily with Christ but remembered, recounted and recertified only memorable parts.

View on Vocaroo >> Tasty, is a lovely word, sounds near sweet? Tenderloin is one of our favorite meats, as a meal we eat it with Rice-a-Roni or just rice; usually I try to make some gravy to go with the rice, and we have a vegetable. There is almost always some left over meat that I refrigerate in it's juice. A day or two later put that into a pan, as the frozen meat and juice heats up it fills the pan- then I'll add barbeque sauce to that and it boils down to the point the tenderloin falls apart and it's now pulled pork bbq for a marvelous sandwich. Tasty, it really, is. When Holy Spirit drew you from hell, usually by bringing you to your senses, of how messed up you were? When Holy Spirit does that, you are like a cooked meal that's been set aside in the refrigerator- you are preserved, but your function is stopped. Before, you were a meal, now, your just preserved. Holy Spirit gets hold of you, now you may feel some heat, you will be changing- becoming what ...

View on Vocaroo >> Caves spook some folks, they feel a sense of being surrounded and locked in, to many people that is very discomforting, but it's a tour "So what are we gonna do?" They stay with the group, getting more and more uncomfortable, until the moment at the lowest point in the cave and the guide says... If you have asked Jesus to forgive you of your sins; He has. There are zero qualifiers on that, it ain't no test, it is what it is, His grace toward His creation that is being lied to by His enemy. So forgiving your sins- note that, plural- sins- all; is what Jesus does! 1Jo 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness Oh my goodness the remembering of that fresh unburdened feeling! No weight on my shoulders of being a jerk, I'm not certain being a jerk is a sin, but I'm pretty sure folks who've observed me being a jerk, which seriously, it's so rare, but...
