Wow 3 cups of coffee, we should vote on who's cup is the "best cup o coffee"

He who says he abides in [Jesus] ought himself also to walk just as He walked. —1 John 2:6

Nothing is so attractive as being like Christ.

The World Is Watching

Read: 1 John 2:1-11

He who says he abides in [Jesus] ought himself also to walk just as He walked. —1 John 2:6

Bible In One Year: Genesis 25-26; Matthew 8:1-17

---

If the people in your community were asked about the Christians who live there, what do you think they would say? Would they say they recognize Christians by their love, or because of something else?

Consider these two true situations: In one small town a restaurant decided to close on Sunday nights because the staff refused to work for the after-evening-church crowd. The people who came from church were rude, messy, and left small tips.

In another town, the manager of a store that sold concert tickets reported that some of the rudest people she had ever met were several who had bought tickets to hear a well-known Christian singing group.

Sometimes we don't realize it, but the non-Christian world is watching us. Our neighbors and acquaintances and others we encounter notice our behavior. They know that if we claim to be followers of Christ we are supposed to be kind and compassionate. They know that our lives should reflect love and Christlikeness (John 13:35; 1 John 2:6). They know that we shouldn't be so busy with our own interests that we don't love other people.

Let's make sure the people who are watching our lives will want to get to know our Savior. —Dave Branon

I want my life to shine for Jesus
So that everywhere I go
The watching world will see He loves them
And His saving grace will know. —Hess

Nothing is so attractive as being like Christ.

For all who come to The Finest this weekend,
a cozy spot to bring your three (..:) cups of coffee,
sit down and relax, and share with us your observations,
plans for the weekend, ideas, woes,
needs and blessings....

Perhaps our newest habitues - kudsman and N Theknow -
will meander through, now that we have 'em hooked!

We are The Finest F-A-M-I-L-Y,
always glad for more to join us.
Not only is the fire warm, but so are the hearts of the dwellers...

If Aeronaut were willing to arrange a chartered flight,
we could all go to Wisconsin to
The Old Granary Inn Bed & Breakfast:

and gather here - -

What??!! You'd rather do your weekend chores?!!

Sorry, Aeronaut - I tried..:(

[Iowa Granny]

Good Morning. I always appreciate this weekend thread, since I seldom have an opportunity to visit during the week.

Thanks for all your effort.

[The Mayor]

nice looking fireplace, it looks so inviting.......

Special {{{{{ Hugs }}}}} for you, humble one...:))

Lovely cold day here, with sunshine - tending to inside projects, and listening to a good CD as I labor.

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!!!

I posted this earlier on "Amy's Place" I composed it as I typed.

I hope y'all like it!

There was a man named Howard Dean

he'd say a word

then denies that's what he means

he wants to come to Washington

and try to tell them how its done

Too bad this man named Howard Dean

really is a coward mean

he looks like he swallowed a lemon whole

Why doesn't he read every poll

do you really want to see him in charge?

He's a fool who dreams large

He'd make me want to defect

Maybe to Iraq I would go if Dean would swear to God up there

on Capital Hill and be a pill

What would you expect from this flawed chief exec.

I hope in Novemer 2004

the election will go to George

Then here in Maryland I'd gladly stay

If Dubya can keep Dean away.

If I wanted to elect a lying cheat

I'd call for Bill in a heartbeat

But since I like a President who knows his stuff

and with terrorists is really tough

I'd say to Dean please go away

and don't come back another day.

W-04!
