I didn't get to watch anything but the main event. :) Dubya was excellent - he was very relaxed and warm and a little emotional at the end of his speech. One of the pundits called it a little Reaganesque (I don't remember which one now)

Can't hang around tonight - time for bed for this sleepyhead. :)

Shallow Friendliness

Read: John 15:9-17

A man who has friends must himself be friendly. —Proverbs 18:24

Bible In One Year: Psalms 140-142; 1 Corinthians 14:1-20


Recently I received a phone call from a friendly-sounding person who told me she wanted to make my life easier. She called me by my first name and warmly asked how my day was going. Then she informed me that she could help me save thousands of dollars a year if I would simply refinance my home with a particular mortgage company. But once she understood that I really wasn't interested, her friendliness evaporated.

Such insincere friendliness is often just a culturally correct attitude that some people use to impress others or to get something from them.

Contrast that self-serving attitude with the genuine friendship Jesus showed us. He said, "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" (John 15:13). Then He demonstrated self-sacrificing love for us by dying on the cross to forgive our sins.

When we trust Jesus as our Savior and learn to obey Him, we experience a deep friendship that gives reality and sincerity to the friendliness we show to others.

Lord, help us to avoid the shallow friendliness that uses others to get what we want. Teach us instead to radiate the warmth of genuine Christlike friendliness to everyone we meet. —Dave Egner

If friendliness is genuine,
It surely will convey
A warm and caring attitude
In all we do and say. —D. De Haan

True friendliness can be a magnet that draws people to Christ.

Morning!

”We will Prevail”




He accepts the challenge still,
As “four more years” we chant.
He’s the man to lead us on,
We all know Kerry can’t.

Bush has the moral courage,
We’ll back him through the fight.
He’ll never blink or falter,
For he has seen the light.

The terrorists are running,
Our troops will take them out.
We know the fight will take time,
That’s what, it’s all about.

Time to act and not back down,
So high our Flag will sail.
Bush Cheney in November,
We know, “We will Prevail.”

Good Friday morning, Billie, everyone. I'm still on a high from last night. Our great President Bush hit a home run last night. I just love this man.

I know this is a fun weekend, and I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but let's remember to take time to pray for the safety of citizens in Florida.

Yesterday I wrote about Zell! Isn't he handsome in this pic?




Mad as Zell

When he was a younger man,
He was a Marine.
Later it was politics,
Still that is his scene.
Yes a lifelong democrat,
But he saw it change.
Since he is a patriot,
He sure found it strange.
Democrats no longer care,
For what made us great.
So now he is speaking out,
Before it’s too late.
America needs leadership,
Not a flip and flop.
George Bush has Zell Miller’s vote,
Kerry we must stop!
