Elvis Presley,King of Rock and Roll

"I don't sound like nobody" Elvis to Marion Kessler, the first time he enter Sun Studios "Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do 'em all together, I guess. -Elvis in 1956, talking about his way of moving on stage. "You only pass through this life once, you don't come back for an encore" " I went to Hollywood. My next move was to Hollywood. that's how it work's. You get a record and then you get on television and then take you to Hollywood to make a picture. So I did Love Me Tender, then I did Loving You. I wasn't ready for that town and they weren't ready for me". After the Ed Sullivan Show in 1956

"I've never gotten over what they call stage fright. I go through it every show. I'm pretty concerned, I'm pretty much thinking about the show. I never get completely comfortable with it, and I don't let the people around me get comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it's a new crowd out there, it's a new audience, and they haven't seen us before. So it's got to be like the first time we go on." -From a 1972 taped interview used in MGM's documentary "Elvis on Tour". "The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn't know what all the yelling was about. I didn't realize that my body was moving. It's a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said 'What'd I do? What'd I do?' And he said "Whatever it is, go back and do it again'." -From a 1972 taped interview used in MGM's documentary "Elvis on Tour". "Something with meaning. I couldn't dig always playing the guy who'd get into a fight, beat the guy up, and in the next shot sing to him" To the media who wanted to knowwhat kinds of movie scripts he liked. "Man, I was tame compared to what they do now. Are you kidding? I didn't do anything but just jiggle." -From the press conference prior to his record-breaking Madison Square Garden shows in New York City, 1972.

Thoughts on Sergeant Presley from his Platoon Leader "I simply cannot forget that Elvis chose to serve in a combat unit. If others want to argue that he did so because his agent, Colonel Tom parker, thought it would be good for public relations' purposes, that's their opinion. But I don't believe it. Aside from the fact that our battalion could have gone to war with the Soviets at any time, there are real risks every single day in a combat unit. ...[Elvis] pulled his weight. He used his head and did his job well. He was one of us. He cared about us. And he got back the respect and friendship he gave everyone else. In several instances, I saw sparks of leadership in Elvis that made me think he could have induced men to follow him into combat, just as his music caused millions of young people to follow him." William J. Taylor, Jr., PhD, Colonel USA Retired.

When All Looks Bright

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: MP3

READ: Deuteronomy 6:10-19

Beware, lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. —Deuteronomy 6:12

Life looks rosy to many people.   Their work is fulfilling. The house or apartment doesn’t need repair. Their bank account shows a surplus. Family members are enjoying good health. Friends are loyal.

Good times, however, can be dangerous. The comforts and pleasures of this world can become so important that we give God little or no place in our thoughts. Prosperity can quickly lead to complacency.

God knew this would happen to His people when they entered the Promised Land. So He warned them not to forget the source of their blessings (Deut. 6:12). He instructed them:

• Fear the Lord (v.13).
• Serve Him (v.13).
• Do not go after other gods (v.14).
• Do not tempt the Lord (v.16).
• Keep the commandments (v.17).
• Do what is right and good (v.18).

Historians tell us that religious fervor usually declines during prosperous times. But if we will learn from Israel’s experience and heed the Lord’s instruction, this need not happen to us.

Let’s be careful that we do not forget the Lord—especially when all looks bright! —Herbert Vander Lugt

Help us, O Lord, to ponder this:
We have no good apart from You;
For we are prone to take our ease
When all is bright and skies are blue.  —D. De Haan

Prosperity may be a greater test of character than poverty.

Bible in One Year;   Jeremiah 27-29; Titus 3
