"He's a lot more interesting that us, but He never gets bored with you.  He is fascinating beyond imagination, but we get bored with Him." - Mike Bickle

"Keep your silver and your gold, your riches untold, 'cause all I want, all I want is Jesus." - spontaneous worship

"You are the Vine and we are the branches...come prune these branches inside of me that steal from Your glory." - spontaneous worship

"I can speak Spanish and read the menu at Taco Bell at the same time!" - some random guy at FCF

"My friends, my 'good Christian' friends back home are like, 'Dude, dial it down.'  I'm like, 'Dude, I'm not even on yet." - random guy at GPR

My core group just spent about 15 minutes praying on the lifelines.  Right at the end, as I kept repeating, "Fight for Your children," I got a mental "video" of a person holding a baby in one hand and a raised knife in the other.  A sword was hacking at the knife and blocking it, but the person was still trying to kill the baby.  Finally, Jesus snatched the baby away and held him close, then passed him on to a family that would love him.  The person with a knife would get a new baby each time, but Jesus did the same thing with each one.  May He do the same for each child facing abortion now and forever.

I've always loved Psalm 45:10-11, "Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear: forget your people and your father's house.  The King is enthralled by your beauty; honor Him, for He is your Lord."  But I've always focused on the first part of verse 11 and sort of skimmed the rest.  The rest is what we're supposed to do.
It's saying, "Listen to this advice and consider it: forget the opinions of your family, your friends, and those you grew up with.  Why?  Because Jesus is enthralled (delighted to the point of distraction) with you.  With you!  He deserves your honor, 'cause He is your Lord."
Those two verses aren't just a compliment; they are an invitation.  I, for one, am accepting.

"All my favorite people are in the bathroom!"  Oh, the random things I hear during prayer room bathroom breaks.

Oh, BTW, life is when your heart is trying to beat out through your chest to get to Jesus.

I don't care what anyone else tells me.  God is beautiful.  He's so beautiful!

So...I'm going to be an equally-yoked bride.  With Christ.
Okay, read that again.  And again.  And again, but think about it this time.
IS YOUR MIND BLOWN YET?!?!?
Seriously, equally yoked with Divinity?  I will never fully grasp it this side of eternity.
