Sitting here chuckling at I’m My Own Grandpa....funny every time I hear it.

Thanks, Publius, for Dr Demento on this New Year’s Eve. ((HUGS))

You know that since you made all the lights green this evening, you’ll hit all of them red for a week at least. LOL That seems to be my luck any way.

No wonder you didn’t get off at noon like you were supposed to with all the problems at the mall and the office. Of all days for that mess to happen.
They’d BETTER let you off at noon Friday.

Glad to hear Putu turned out to be a great hire. That’s a tough job and it’s not just anyone who can pull it off.

I see the rain has changed to snow at the airport. :-(

[radu]

You do live well.
I live a little lazy, at least this time of night. LOL

[luvie]

What a day! I’m so glad that you got there and then back home safely and I’m sorry I didn’t see your note till it was way too late to help. Please do not hesitate to text me. I always get those...but not emails.

Driving with no lights working is like playing Russian roulette when people don’t cooperate and I’m glad they did for you!

[radu]

I’m not surprised you nodded off. Late night with homework and a h*** day at the office. You must be whipped.

Made it through another year and decade. Your turn isn’t far off.

January 1

Prompted to Pray

Bible in a Year:

• Genesis 1–3
• Matthew 1

I constantly remember you in my prayers.

2 Timothy 1:3

“Several years ago I was prompted to pray for you often, and I wonder why.”

That text message from an old friend came with a photo of a note she’d kept in her Bible: “Pray for James. Cover mind, thoughts, words.” Beside my name she’d recorded three separate years.

I looked at the years and caught my breath. I wrote back and asked what month she began to pray. She responded, “Sometime around July.”

That was the month I was preparing to leave home for extended study abroad. I would be facing an unfamiliar culture and language and have my faith challenged like never before. As I looked at the note, I realized I’d received the precious gift of generous prayer.    

My friend’s kindness reminded me of another “prompting” to pray, Paul’s instruction to his young missionary friend Timothy: “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people” (1 Timothy 2:1). The phrase “first of all” indicates highest priority. Our prayers matter, Paul explains, because God “wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth” about Jesus (v. 4).

God moves through faithful prayer in countless ways to encourage others and draw them near to Himself. We may not know someone’s circumstances when they come to mind, but God does. And He’ll help that person as we pray!

Reflect & Pray

Who comes to mind that needs your prayers in this new year? How can you remind yourself to pray for them often?

Loving God, please help me to pray often and to make a lasting difference in others’ lives through my intercession for them.

GEFILTE JOE & THE FISH: “WALK ON THE KOSHER SIDE”

Lou Reed’s 1972 classic about the New York demimonde, an incredibly sad song about sexual degeneracy, got a make-over with the action moved to Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles.

TOM LEHRER: “SMUT”

This classic written for TW3 was based on a recent Supreme Court decision. It’s one of the funniest things he ever wrote.

CLIFF FERRE: ”AIN’T IT A BEAUTY?”

Cliff’s specialty was ethnic humor, and this was his Irish version recorded in 1955.

CLIFF EDWARDS: ”I’M GOING TO GIVE IT TO MARY WITH LOVE“

He was known as “Ukelele Ike” and is best remembered for singing “When You Wish Upon a Star,” which won an Oscar for Best Song in 1940. In 1936 he cut six sides for Hollywood Hot-Shots, a label for “party” records that were played at gatherings attended by girls who were known to “go the limit.” (I didn’t even know there was a limit.)

And a Happy New Year, and New Decade, to you, too, Mooch.
