It was "National Pretzel Day" so I gave everyone pretzel and told them how We twist our on lives an wear "masks." I talked to them from The Message using 2 Corinthians 4:1-3: "1Since God has so generously let us in on what he is doing, we're not about to throw up our hands and walk off the job just because we run into occasional hard times. 2We refuse to wear masks and play games. We don't maneuver and manipulate behind the scenes. And we don't twist God's Word to suit ourselves. Rather, we keep everything we do and say out in the open, the whole truth on display, so that those who want to can see and judge for themselves in the presence of God. 3If our Message is obscure to anyone, it's not because we're holding back in any way. No, it's because these other people are looking or going the wrong way and refuse to give it serious attention. I closed by playing the SE's "The Twist." I asked them not to twist their lives by wearing masks and not to leave him twisting in the wind. They responded very well. Then, several of them came to me and asked me where they could get that cd! It was a cool experience. __________________ 04-27-2006 00:44 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom Awesome __________________ http://www.google.com 04-27-2006 01:22 Lur King Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 04-10-2003 Posts: 1,512 Location: on a throne of course __________________ I'm back in the sea...

A good object lesson, too, with the pretzel and all. Did you all DO the "twist" to the music, too??? heh heh __________________ 1 John 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. 04-27-2006 15:39 Eis Official Impasto Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 3,470 Location: One too many mornings and a thousand miles behind...

It was a cool experience. I have used that song before, but it was exciting to see the lesson take root in their lives and for them to enjoy the song. __________________ 04-27-2006 20:14 bereal Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-08-2004 Posts: 11,824 Location: "I still love Jesus, I'm just afraid of His followers." DwDunphy Thanks for sharing k9. Being a homeschool teacher, I collect object lessons and since we really like that song (and listen to it often), my kids are familiar with the wierd lyrics. Now we can talk about those wierd lyrics and apply them to our lives. __________________ Holy God break me, Holy Lord take me Lay your crushing hand, Your mighty hand, On me gently Your crushing hand, Your mighty hand, On me gently 04-27-2006 20:46 Ron E Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-12-2002 Posts: 5,610 Location: Central Ontario Canada It seemed really appropriate for Easter a couple of weeks ago. One of the greatest Easter hymns around. __________________ The opinion expressed is that of the participant and does not necessarily reflect that of Mr Dan Amos.
