Dear Lord...


Lately I've been pondering... Exactly what triggers the forbidden laugh? and why is it generally during prayer time? We've figured it out. There are just certian word's that were never meant to be uttered during a prayer. Try it for yourself. Close your eyes... go ahead... now say a lil prayer using any of the following 'trigger words'.


1.Nugget ( ...of wisdom, ... of truth, chicken...)

2. Willy nilly ( self-explanatory)

3. Jonny Vegas (any fictional character cannot be taken seriously)

4.Shmorgisbord (too much food, too many syllables)

5. Gingivitus ( save that for silent prayer)

6. hemroid (too much info.)

7. Jezebel spirit

8. Nitty-gritty

9. loose cannon (that poor child... he's such a loose cannon... bless his heart)

10. Bad seed ( which one of us fits that category?)

how about those people who just recite xtian song lyrics... like they're original but just put an emphasis on certain words... like i don't know what to pray but... " Angels we HAVE heard on high..." , " YOU are my all and YOU are the best..... amen"

Now that I think about it, that probably is a good idea, next time I'm stumped I'll just take a popular song... recite the lyrics and expand on that...be like, "First Noelle, you are truly the first, no other Noelle's before you, and actually I can't think of any after you either..." amen

Hi Jessica,
First of all, thank you SO much for the book and praying for me. I am very sorry that I have not called you yet to thank you. We had planned on going to church this past Sunday, but we slept in by accident. I was going to thank you then.
It's funny, I was looking at your favorite movies and music and we have EXACTLY the same tastes. Drop Dead Gorgeous is one of my all time favorite movies.
I am really sorry that you are in so much pain and I am praying for you.
Ava's 5th birthday party will be on November 18 and she really wants you and Dave to come. I will have Billy give Dave the invitation as the date nears.
One more thing, I was wondering if you would like to go have a spa day before the fall dinner. I thought it would be fun to have massages, get our hair and make up done and just have some girl time together. I really feel that we have a bond and I would love to get to know you better! Sorry this post was so long. I hope your eyes haven't crossed by now! Take care and I hope to hear from you or see you soon. Take care, Linda Stewart

Holy Monsoon Deluge! I remember that! So funny, I'm laughing out loud!
From London down to Capetown? L.A. to Bieging? That's kinda weird for a worship song... naming specific cities!

Beging. Beigxing. Ahhh! I don't think that was ever on my spelling list!

Bek,
I still can't get through... You're my ALL, You're the BEST.
Igot the F.L. (forbidden laugh) during that song in caregroup a long time ago. I turned the laugh into a allergy attack. My 'allergies' just kept gettin' worse every time they would repeat. Ahhh!

Linda,
Hey. I'm glad you like the book. I wish I could've come with David last week, but I was getting some much needed sleep. October is looking so busy for us , I totally forgot about the fall banquet. I'm always up for a spa day! We totally should hang out. David loves you guys! He's says your almost as crazy as me! Our poor husbands!
We'd love to see you guys at church, but no pressure. I went through months where I just had a hard time making myself go. One of our pastors let me off the hook by saying... 'If God gives you the grace to make it to church this week, great.'
For some reason, that just released me from stressing out about it.

Drop Dead Gorgeous is one of the all time best! My sis and I could watch it over and over. You must have a great sense of humor!

We'll see you soon. Love and prayers.

Sounds like something Robin would say: "Holy Monsoon Deluge, Batman!" Then he'd pound his green-gloved fist into his green-gloved palm.

BTW, did "Be still and Know" makes sense to anyone? Its too groovy to be still to.

Ok...so "You're my all, You're the BEST"...should never be sung ever in a corporate worship setting. EVERY single time we sing that song...I laugh...and if its at care group and I look at Amy...its over....the forbidden laugh...ahhh...

LOL! Oh my goodness! The first thing I thought of while reading your post was that worship song. I still remember cracking up at NA over "You're my all, you're the BEST" - ahhh, what memories :)
