You Know You're in a Redneck Church if:
Today I would like to examine the legacy of another runner. Like Derek Redmond, Eric Liddell was an Olympic runner. I recently watched the HD version of his Olympic story (my all time favorite movie "Chariots of Fire") and wanted to share that experience with you. Some scenes from the movie are purely glorious film making. A scene from it traces Eric Liddell's resolve (to not run on Sunday) before the British Olympic Committee, to his reading of Isaiah 40 (in church that Sunday) and finishes with his Gold medal win at the 1924 Olympics ... it is so inspiring."Then where does the power come from, to see the race to its end? From within." -- Eric LiddellIn Eric we see a young man preparing to run a greater race ... the race to fulfill his life as a missionary in China. I find it amazing that a man so young understood so much. Real life and power comes from within ... and we feel His pleasure when we run a life from within. On a scale of 10 I give this movie ★★★★★★★★★★
"I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure." -- Eric Liddell
"The "lad", as you call him, is a true man of principles and a true athlete. His speed is a mere extension of his life, its force. We sought to sever his running from himself." -- Duke of Sutherland (speaking of Eric)
This morning I watched the memorial service for President Ford. I was very impressed with former President Bush's eulogy. He led off the four eulogies with a very heartwarming and personal recounting of President Ford's life. The remaining three speakers came off in a way that made you wonder if they had ever met President Ford. They seemed to be totally unaware of their circumstances and showed little or no emotion at the loss of a great man.
In one of the best posts that I have ever read Milly says:I found myself sitting on the edge of the bed knowing that it wasn’t about love so no one should say it. I remember him saying that he had a bad dream that he lost me. I almost laughed, lost me you never had me. Instead I snuggled up closer and waited for our relationship to end. It had to. How could I keep bedding down with this evil.Read more here.
I had to stop I had to shut it all out and try to stop. So I walked around a Christian event hoping for a way to stop picking up those darn stones, they are heavy and at times they seemed almost to cover me making it impossible for me to breathe. I tried to drink them away, the deceiver likes that idea, I found myself tied to them dragging me into a bottle of vodka.
Fool's Mate and Scholar's Mate are often tried on newcomers to the game.
Fool's Mate occurs when a player opens up his King to a fatal attack as shown in the following game:
1.f3 e5 2.g4 Qh4#
It is rarely a good idea to move the pawns on f2, g2 and h2 so early in the game as the King normally castles on this side and if the pawns have been moved, they can no longer offer him adequate protection.
The following game illustrates Scholar's Mate. This is a checkmate whereby the Bishop and Queen attack the weak f7 pawn. This pawn is weak because, in the starting position, it is only protected by the King.
1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Qh5 Nf6 4.Qxf7#
Scholar's Mate is the most common trap a beginner falls into.
In a sense these are prayer requests as I am incapable of bringing them to pass. I’d be interested in knowing what, if anything, you have resolved for this New Year. In either case have a blessed and joyous 2007.
