Deanna, have you thought about it?
Debbie, it is quite a list.
Dewena, have you thought about it?
Sherri, sometimes I hate having no excuses! -grin-
Sparky, always preaching to the choir, doncha know? -grin-
Vickie, you're welcome.
Quinn, I laughed as well the remembered David who danced naked before the Lord. His wife, Michal, laughed and God struck her barren.
Cheryl, God isn't as stupid as humans -grin-.
Jill, it was funny!
Charlotte, every single one of us.
Dori, I've seen it before but this time was in a Joel Osteen book.
Nancy, yes, of course and you're welcome.
Nancy McCarroll says
May I use this list sometime, linking back to you, of course. We each have different readers and this post of yours is just too good not to share.
Thanks, Nancy

Charlotte Wilson says
I don't have one. That is a good reminder that we are all sinners…every one.
Jill Cooper says
That does about cover everything – except for Isaiah LOL – had to laugh at Quinn's comment! Hugs to you this beautiful Sunday.
Cheryl says
excuse?…. the dog did it.
Quinn says
Well, "Isaiah preached naked" made me laugh out loud, then wonder if this technique would increase or decrease attendance at church in modern times…so I guess "Quinn is irreverent"!
Vickie says
Good one! Love it!
Sparky Hudson says
But, but, but …. *lol*
(I get the point, just being silly. Good lesson.) ~:)
Sherri B. says
Wow, very powerful! Certainly covers it all, so no excuses left.
Have a blessed Sunday. xo

Oh, my goodness, Sandra, I'll have to think about this one!
Debby@Just Breathe says
That's quite a list!
Deanna says
Howdy from the Flint Hills!

God bless,
