You saund like one of those guys who spends your Friday evenings in taverns listening to classic rock! By the way, that is one of the purposes of prayer before a sermon...so proper adjustments can be made while everyone's eyes are closed.<BR/><BR/>Now as to the secodn part of your ocmment...AMEN!!!Pastor Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083240222410408003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18526870.post-26846451994744582342009-02-20T12:04:00.000-05:002009-02-20T12:04:00.000-05:00And, how about we do some drug testing; anyone on ...And, how about we do some drug testing; anyone on steroids?<BR/><BR/>That covers the physical aspect of the players, but should the organization be wary and testing for spiritual strength or weakness. For those who want to be top performers, what do you inject them with, coach? <BR/><BR/>I guess there isn't any easy way, to be worthy and successful performer, it involves hard work, seeking knowledge, having a good attitude, and a large dose of the love of God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18526870.post-27826712396859714952009-02-20T08:45:00.000-05:002009-02-20T08:45:00.000-05:00A couple disturbing thoughts popped into my mind! ...A couple disturbing thoughts popped into my mind! We would need several spitoons scattered around the stage,And all the necessary "adjustments" may not be very appropriate. <BR/>Wouldn't it be exciting to see what would happen if we all had the same enthusiasm for Christ as we do when a player simply knocks one out of the park!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18526870.post-50054260124592700512009-02-19T11:57:00.000-05:002009-02-19T11:57:00.000-05:00Anonymous - Wow, that would be like having a baseb...Anonymous - Wow, that would be like having a baseball team without its center fielder!!!!

We could go to Florida for services in February and March. Parades through Lititz after we conclude a knock-out successful sermon series. And the occassional bench-clearing brawl with LCBC.<BR/><BR/>Of course, if there are complaints about the pastor not wearing a tie, what do you think they'll say when you preach in your jersey and sliding pants?<BR/><BR/>But best of all, in the spirit of Ernie Banks, we could say "Let's play three!"Andy Spadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306222123060085671noreply@blogger.com
