Kermit and Fozzie the bear are driving together and need to change directions. Kermit say, "Bear left." To which Fozzie replies, "Right Frog." Too cute. We recycled this one a lot on road trips.

I can't believe nary a quote from "Raising Arizona" made the list. I realize it's not kid-friendly (or some would argue anyone-friendly), but the list of quote-worthy quotes!! I mean, come ON: "Son, you got a panty on your head." "Do they blow up in funny shapes? Nope. Not 'lessin round's funny" "You gotta get them dip-tet boosters yearly or else they'll develop lockjaw and night vision." "There's what's right and there's what's right and never the twain shall meet." "And when there was no meat, we ate fowl. And when there was no fowl to be found, we ate crawdads. And when there was no crawdads, we ate sand." "You ate WHAT?" "We ate sand." "You ate SAND?" "That's right." "No one sleeps naked in this house!" ...Okay. Clearly, I could go on forever. I'll refrain. :-) Oh, man. I can’t believe nary a quote from “Raising Arizona” made the list. I realize it’s not kid-friendly (or some would argue anyone-friendly), but the list of quote-worthy quotes!! I mean, come ON:

“Son, you got a panty on your head.”

“Do they blow up in funny shapes?
Nope. Not ‘lessin round’s funny”

“You gotta get them dip-tet boosters yearly or else they’ll develop lockjaw and night vision.”

“There’s what’s right and there’s what’s right and never the twain shall meet.”

“And when there was no meat, we ate fowl. And when there was no fowl to be found, we ate crawdads. And when there was no crawdads, we ate sand.” “You ate WHAT?” “We ate sand.” “You ate SAND?” “That’s right.”

“No one sleeps naked in this house!”

They love on people and serve their community. The high school kids last Christmas decided to go buy Walmart gift cards and walk through the store praying about who to give them,too. One woman started weeping because she was in the throws of which of her kids she could afford to get new shoes. She wanted to give all her kids shoes but no money. She was praying as she was deciding and one of these high schoolers came up and gave a $100 gift card. Problem solved and God GLORIFIED! Waiting on him...this group loves so well. They know how to operate in all the gifts of the spirit - word of knowledge, prophecy, etc. But the focus is on Christ and not on gifts. Beautiful! The gifts sure do edify and it is not a place where there is a form of godliness with no power. They also as a congregation pick around 5 or 6 people they interact with on a regular basis (same gas station attendant, grocer, etc.) and pray for them daily and ask God to work salvation or healing, whatever is needed for this person and their family. Powerful stuff! Sometimes, they don't speak about Christ to this person for years, until the Holy Spirit says "now". I go up there every year for Easter and have for the last 10 years. I went through an awful time two years ago and God literally caused my car to break down and gave me a job at Comfort in hotel (living there, too) so that I could be ministered to here. They understand deliverance and healing. This sweet couple prayed with me from 7 p.m. to 1 p.m. They didn't ask what to pray for. We waited on God to see what He revealed. Wow, does God ever know root issues. It was an awesome, cleansing time. The church in power, the church in love, the church doing the work of the gospel. Healing broken hearts, binding up wounds. The response above is so thoughtfully said. I think that is the state of many of our countries churches. Read Francine Rivers, "The Shofar Blew". It's fictional but boy is it ever true. Not that big is bad! I went to a church in Dallas, I think 7,000 people. I had 70 of those people know I was a visitor when I walked through the door. Place totally filled with the presence of God. They knew one another and loved each other - therefore new outsiders. The Sunday I was there 80 African American elders stood before the congregation and prayed over the place. These men knew God. The worship leader was talented but was constantly reminding us, we were not there just to sing some songs but we were there to worship the living God, who is Jesus. No performance spirit in that church. Didn't have to hype it up or be ultra cute. Could be real and worshipful. Sure there was humor, but that wasn't the draw. It was God, it was that the presence of the Lord was there. Btw, I have seen what I think is a healthy church and it is not big. http://hopevineyardstlouis.com/.
