A Gift for you. It's important.

Hello. I have a gift for you today! :) It's a message by Kevin DeYoung that I cannot recommend enough. It's titled "Just Do Something" and it is one of THE BEST messages I have ever heard. Just so you know, I'm not the kind of person who just sits down and decides to listen to a sermon. I listened to this with my mom on the way to Orlando and it was just amazing. Kevin has the ability to mix humor and seriousness in a sermon perfectly and he really catches your attention with great illustrations and stories. This message is not optional... you must listen to it.
Now, there are two listening options...

Go to this link and listen to it online.

or you can...
Download it. and here's how that works...

go to http://www.thisisnext.org/resources/
Right click on the eighth message entitled Just Do Something by Kevin DeYoung
Choose "Save Target as"
Save it in your documents as Just do Something or whatever.
It will begin to download... It should take 1-2 minutes. Make sure that when it's downloading you uncheck the box that says "Close this dialog box when download is complete."
When it is done downloading, click "Open" and it should open your iTunes
It is now in your iTunes library and can be sync'd to your iPod at any time

So, now that you have all the information, and have no option... download it and listen to it... and tell me what you think. It's the best. (Can you tell I love it?)

Tanner said...

"Yeah. When I get bigger, I can buy some money."

"I won't be able to do that until I'm bigger and wiser like you."

"Kaylee, can you play Indiana Jones with me?"

Mariah and I asked Tanner who his best friends were and he said, "Well, Jesse."

"Who next?" we asked,

"Boriah" (Mariah) then we asked,

"Who next?"

"Nafan" (Nathan) "to beat him up."

Once again, Mariah and I regularly ask Tanner,

"Hey, Tanner, Who's the coolest?"

His normal answer is,

"Nafan"

But on this rare occasion he said,

"Well... Justin wants to be. But Nafan is."

Later, actually months later, I asked Him again and he says,

"Tanner!!!"

"Mom, mom! Did you find Sleeping Beauty?"

"No, I found Cinderella, though."

"Yes!"

Tanner prayed during our Family Prayer time and this is what he said:

"Jesus-God,

Fank you for Josh and Megan and Kaylee and Tyler and Daddy and Timmy and Mommy and everybody. Fank you for all the toys and fank you for all the Indiana Jones. Amen."

"When I die, I'll be dead."

In the middle of the Miami Dolphins game today (Oct. 26) Dad was cheering the TV on by saying, "GO BABY, GO BABY, GO BABY!!!" and Tanner thought that Dad was talking to mom, since he (dad) frequently calls mom "baby"... So Tanner added, "Go mommy, go mommy, go mommy!" to cheer on the winning Dolphins. (they won that game, by the way!)

"Dad, Dad - That bad guy he fighted him and that guy, he killed him in the tummy!"

"Mom, I just want everyone to call me Indiana..."

"Tyler, Wario is not the best. Pit is the best!"

"Froggies.... You catch them and you stick them in a bucket."

"I want some water... (1 minute later)... thanks. Water is good. And so is french fries."

I asked him for a story from the bible and this is what I get:

"The guy had blood on him and he falled down and he died. David killed him"

"Pirates of the Carribean was fighting Davey Jones and was servants and was pirate ship."

"Davy Crocket, the big bear was behind Davy Crocket and Davy Crocket shoot the bear and he climbed up a tree. And that’s all."

"Nim’s island was on the island and it was so much fun and I didn’t know and she climbed up the tree. That’s all."

I was babysitting Tanner and he yells, “The treasure map! Servant…. Now you may be killed. No! Now you may be killed.” Walks over and picks up some string and starts twirling it. He hit something,
“Sorry,”
"Hey Tanner, please don’t do that." He pretends not to hear me. "Tanner."
"You won’t call dad! You can’t call dad." Twirls it with more vengeance.
"Tanner, please stop."
"You won’t call dad."
"No. I won’t."
"You won’t call him. You can’t."

"Welcome to Morning!"

"I win-d Timmy." apparently they were racing and he won...

Tanner prayed again this morning...

"Jesus, God... thank you for Mommy and Daddy and Tyler and Kaylee and let us have a good day. And please heal everybody. Everybody who doesn't have healin' in their body. Amen."

"Dad? Can Ty-Ty switch places with Timmy? 'Cause Tyler stinks."

Mariah told Tanner, "Tanner, You're so cute!"

And he replied, "Yeah. I am."

I asked, "Tanner, Who's the Coolest?"

"Ummmm. Sidney is. And Boriah is. And Tyler and Jess and Josh and Justin..."

"What about Nathan?!"

"No. Nathan's my best friend."

"So, he's not the coolest?"

"No! He's just my best friend."

"Kaylee! Mom made popcorn for us and do you want some?"

"No thanks."

"Don't you like popcorn?"

"No. Not really..."

"Why don't you like popcorn?"

"I dunno. I just don't."

"Is it because you're stupid?"

"Hey, Tyler... Do you see that pretty ball in the sky?? Daddy said that's the moon..."

"Hey. Who's the coolest?"

"Just Bariah... and Jesse"

"Who else?"

"No one."

"What about Nathan?"

"No one else."

"Lord have mercy."

"There it is! Home, sweet home..."

"This is the funnest thing I've never done!"

"Oh my gosh! Kaylee! Look at that star! It's moving really fast!"

"Kaylee, can I please take pictures with your camera?"

"No."

"Kaylee, can I take pictures with your computer?"

"Nope."

"Gosh. No one lets me do anything here."
