Heartprints

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: MP3

READ: Acts 9:36-43

Dorcas . . . was full of good works and charitable deeds. —Acts 9:36

We leave fingerprints on doorknobs, on books, on walls, on keyboards. Each person’s fingerprints are unique, so we leave our identity on everything we touch. Some supermarkets are even testing a technology that allows customers to pay by fingerprint. Each customer’s unique print and bank account number are kept on file so that the only thing needed to pay a bill is a scan of their finger.

A woman in the early church left another kind of print—a “heartprint.” Dorcas touched many people’s lives through her unique gift of sewing and giving away garments. She’s described as “full of good works and charitable deeds” (Acts 9:36). We too are to be “zealous for good works” (Titus 2:14). We each have a unique heartprint that can touch another.

An unknown author wrote this prayer about encouraging others: “O God, wherever I go today, help me leave heartprints! Heartprints of compassion, understanding, and love. Heartprints of kindness and genuine concern. May my heart touch a lonely neighbor or runaway daughter or anxious mother or even an aged grandfather. Send me out today to leave heartprints. And if someone should say, ‘I felt your touch,’ may that one sense Your love touching through me.”

Will you make this your prayer today? —Anne Cetas

Just what do Christians look like?
What sets their lives apart?
They’re ordinary people
Who love God from the heart.  —D. De Haan

People with a heart for God have a heart for people.

There is a Bond Marathon this weekend. I will sneak into the bedroom to watch "From Russia With Love" which is my all time favorite. BTW I thought that Sean Connery should have been selected to be Dumbledore!

I have the usual suspects so Christmas Story, Its a Wonderful Life etc will be playing ..as well as Go Cowboys!

Lt. Col. Andrew Dembosky climbs into his F-16 Fighting Falcon for a mission with the 14th Fighter Squadron at Misawa Air Base, Japan, as Staff Sgt. Robert Parsons helps with preflight preparations. The 14th FS is preparing to deploy to Iraq. Colonel Dembosky is the inspector general for Misawa's 35th Fighter Wing. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Robert Barnett)

Senior Airman Weylin Oliver and Airman 1st Class Ami Grabowski create and route test signals from a maintenance station aboard an RC-135 Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft deployed to Southwest Asia while Senior Airman Dennis Kidwell fields a call from his maintenance supervisor. On average, it takes close to two years for these technicians to become 100 percent qualified to perform the 146 core tasks that are needed to maintain the planes sophisticated intelligence gathering hardware. The three are electronic warfare specialists. Airmen Grabowski and Oliver are from the 97th Intelligence Squadron from Offutt Air Force Base, Neb. Airman Kidwell is deployed from the 488th Intelligence Squadron, Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Scott Wagers)

Scrooge, the musical with Albert Finney, not be be confused with "Scrooged", the "comedy" with Bill Murray. It features the "golden throat" of Sir Alec Guiness. (Feature in the sense that he hardly sings at all, thankfully.) It contains the heart-warming song, "I Hate People", and the song that I would've been singing on the George Washington Bridge if Clinton had ever resigned: "Thank You Very Much".

If you have an iron stomach for total crap, might I suggest "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" starring Pia Zadora. (Starring in the sense that she's the only person that you might actually recognize, and she was 9 at the time, playing one of the Martians.) I only watch this one ever few years.

"White Christmas" is preferable to "Holiday Inn".
"The Bells of St. Mary's" over "Going My Way" (but watch both if you can.)
"It's a Wonderful Life" (on VHS, not on NBC and not with Marlo Thomas, which was actually called "It Happened One Christmas")

I haven't seen any "serious" version of "A Christmas Carol", so no comment.

After that, it's more about the cartoons than anything else. And listening to Patrick Stewart's rendition of "A Christmas Carol" in the car.

Any who aren't Bluenoses or overly uptight may enjoy Borat. It is gutbusting funny, crude, sophmoric, obscene and frickin' hiLARIous. My girlfriend was embarassed by my howls.

Go see Happy Feet - the music is great, the animation is fantastic, and I don't have a clue how it ends because we had to get up and leave.

It wasn't really a good movie for a three-year-old...it just didn't hold her interest at all.
