 What's the most beautiful place that you've ever seen? The place that just takes your breath away. I can think of so many really beautiful places in nature that I've seen, and some places it architecturally, made by man that I've seen like the Cathedral at Rheims, France; takes your breath away. 

The Grand Canyon takes your breath away, really beautiful, magnificent things that are so big and so massive and so awesome and so pretty when you remember them. They bring back that sense of breathlessness, an anticipation in your life. That's a massively important aspect of our emotional component of happiness and joy, isn't it? 

When we talk about recounting, that's a moment where you think about that miraculous reconnection, that just took place, you've thought about something so totally beautiful and so magnificent that it took your breath away, and for a moment, your mind goes back to that point and you recount that and is that not a miracle? 
It's a singular miraculous event of that day, and I realized that's a little bit self-aggrandizing. But not actually, if you're giving credit to the Holy Spirit for that movement inside of your heart, that's not self-aggrandizement, that is spirituality. 

So when we think about remembering and recounting, and then we're looking at recertifying. When you then go into the place where you take that and you make that a part of your life's view. Things that you're going to speak of that day to people that, you know, intimately enough to say and speak of that; way that day. 

Your friends, your loved ones, your family at first they're gonna say that you may have lost your way a little bit, and you're starting to get a bit doty. Even if you're only 40 years old, they're going to think, "wow, you know, age is setting in." For really young people, however, this can be something functionally strong enough that they can grab onto it. 

This is where recertifying becomes not just a testimony, but a rope, if you will, I love that book about who's going to hold the rope because the person who holds the rope on a ship that's about to drift away from the dock; has a very important position if people are still waiting to board that ship? And aren't we all still waiting to board the ship for Jesus who's coming back again soon? So let's not lose our faith in Christ returning soon, instead, let's recertify, and let those rememberings and recountings of those significant, magnificent beautiful moments in our lives not become boring. But let us learn to share them with such enthusiasm and joy that they're actually interesting to others.

View on Vocaroo >> 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:  Jhn 9:1  -  And   as   Jesus   passed by,   he saw   a man   which was blind   from   his   birth. Tools Jhn 9:2  -  And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, th...

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 >> There are so many memories to your Christ experience. Remembering is in a very unsalted way, forming your story of what Christ has done. Get who, what, when, where and possibly why or how, together so it makes sense. Now we season... Dana you mix metaphors a bunch, we're writing, your using a cooking analogy? Ah you caught me...throwin Jalapenoes instead of pepper...and I'm in great company, the gospel is loaded with things that are like other things, the Bible has tons of metaphor...oops, that's a pun, huh? A coin, in a fishes mouth? To pay taxes? For both of them? See any metaphor there? Miracle aside, Peter a now fisher of men? Jesus now proving his earthly existence- ooh, here's one for history buffs, did the takers of taxes keep records? (Matt 17:27) What miracle, other than new birth, eating food that turns into energy, bones? Water rather than air? Both have Oxygen one way it's wet, the other we breathe, now can you begin to glimps...
