“Your favorite TV show is The Mary Tyler Moore Show....
Wrong, don’t quit your day job!”
Same here!
According to the quiz, my favorite show is Perry Mason. My real favorite show is Petticoat Junction.
Gunsmoke. Haven’t watched it in years but back when it was on first run TV I never missed it.
Ruh-Roh! That does NOT sound good...and thanks for the ping-a-ling. Hope you get things back under control very soon. I know it’s exasperating!
The point is to plug MeTV’s shows, and they only have so many shows. The quiz is more for fun and not to be taken seriously.
I also got MTM, but I really liked the Dick Van Dyke show a lot more than Mary’s own show.
I did watch it, but there were others that I liked better. And, not I Love Lucy. LOL!
Good choice. It’s a shame they didn’t agree. LOL!
Questions galore. Many people seem to believe that her death should be an active murder case today.
If you investigate for yourself, you'll quickly run into Mark Shaw:

It is sort of one of those timeless shows. My hubby still watches it sometimes on “Grit” TV.
I agree. Dick Van Dyke show had more depth in my opinion.
I used to play Big Valley and Bonanza with my brothers. I cared not for the city slicker shows.
Very interesting. I’m gonna have to look into that!
Loved Bonanza. Quickly learned that it was bad fate for anybody to fall for any of the 3 brothers. Guaranteed death sentence. So sad when Hoss’s girl died.
Me too, at least Bonanza. I always got stuck playing Ben.
Anybody else with a Davie Crockett hat? Also had a tent.
Gunsmoke.
Not my favorite. It was OK.
I was always Jared, the lawyer on Big Valley.
| I wanted one, but mom said no! I did get the wonderful Dale Evans gear for Christmas one year. Brother got Roy Rogers! |
Bible in a Year :
What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
In 1920, John Sung, the sixth child of a Chinese pastor, received a scholarship to study at a university in the United States. He graduated with the highest honors, completed a master’s program, and earned a PhD. But while pursuing his studies, he had walked away from God. Then, one night in 1927, he surrendered his life to Christ and felt called to be a preacher.
Many high-paying opportunities awaited him back in China, but on the ship home, he was convicted by the Holy Spirit to lay aside his ambitions. As a symbol of his commitment, he threw all his awards into the sea, keeping only his PhD certificate to give to his parents out of respect for them.
John Sung understood what Jesus said about becoming His disciple: “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” (Mark 8:36). As we deny ourselves and leave our old life behind to follow Christ and His leading (vv. 34–35), it may mean sacrificing personal desires and material gain that distract us from following Him.
For the next twelve years, John carried out his God-given mission wholeheartedly, preaching the gospel to thousands throughout China and Southeast Asia. How about us? We may not be called to be preachers or missionaries, but wherever God calls us to serve, by His Spirit working in us, may we fully surrender to Him. .
Reflect & Pray
What do you need to surrender in order to truly follow Jesus? What are some personal ambitions you may be holding on to?
Father, help me to set aside whatever hinders me from fully surrendering to You.
Perry Mason.
