40 Days with Jesus: Day Twenty
A United Methodist pastor in a small Kansas town decided to carry a cardboard cutout of Jesus with him every day for the 40 days of Lent. This series will document some of their adventures. We have affectionately taken to calling the cutout, "CJ" which stands for "Cardboard Jesus."

Everywhere we have moved, before the boxes are even unpacked, Jeff hops in the car and cases our new town looking for the place he will go once or twice a day to get his little treats. This used to drive me crazy. I don’t know how many times I’ve told him we could have built a house on the money he’s spent on his snacks.

Relationships courtesy of Dannah Gresh and Lies Young Women Believe.
I wonder if I could issue a kissing challenge to you? It's not for the faint of heart. (And relax moms who are peeping in ... you will most likely approve!)
Let me start with the testimony of one of Lauren Beckner. She writes, "I had been a Christian for three months when I attended a tiny little weekend retreat led by a young woman named Dannah Gresh. I was dating the guy who led me to Christ. It never occurred to me that his desire to have sex was out of sync with God's plan. But on that retreat I learned that God had a different path for me, and I had the choice to walk it or ignore it. Thankfully I'd never given into the pressure to have sex, and I broke up with my boyfriend immediately. It wasn't easy. My heart broke."

Something most teenagers don’t know: studios were once regulated by a Motion Picture Code established in the 1930s to protect the values and moral concepts society considered the standard to live by. Violent acts had to be filmed in a way that would not jolt the viewer. Actors could not utter “God” or “Jesus” in a profane manner. And nudity and perversity could not be shown.

Fans flocked to her angelic voice with her debut solo album, “Don’t Wait,” over three years ago on BEC Recordings. Today (March 9, 2010) fans will get another taste of Adie with her sophomore release, “Just You And Me,” which features a collection of 10 worshipful songs, including some well known tunes as well as a few new surprises. Adie describes the music as more “organic and raw” than her solo debut.
“This year I’m truly learning what it is to seek the Lord with all my heart and sitting at His feet without things being a distraction to me, hence the title of the album ‘Just You And Me,” shares Adie. “I want to grow so much more and learn what it is to really worship Him in spirit and truth.”

Last night, like many of you we watched the Academy Awards on TV. Since we have this platform to give our opinion, and since we definitely have an opinion here are some thoughts on the Oscars and the awards show:
It was great to see Sandra Bullock win for her acting in Blind Side. We did not expect her to win. It seems that the politics of the Oscars would be against a win for an actress in a decidedly conservative, if not outright Christian film.
Steve Martin is still funny!

It's not too early to start shopping for prom! In fact, shopping now might earn you a nice discount on the dress of your dreams! With a slow economy, many bridal and special occasion shops have inventory left over from last year’s prom and from Christmas formals. To make room for incoming spring formals and prom attire, many retailers are having huge sales on in stock dresses! On a recent trip to a bridal store with my daughter, we found a $378 gown for under $75!
2010 prom fashion looks to be sassy, 80’s inspired, yet more conservative in fashion than in recent years. By conservative I mean, the looks are bold, fun and exciting…but there do not seem to be many dresses that have cut outs, bare mid-drifts or are super short. This is great news for Christian girls looking to sport the hottest trends while still being true to their conservative values.

Scripture: Luke 17:11-17
11Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a]met him. They stood at a distance 13and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
14When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.

It’s tax time, so I have been communicating through e-mail with our accountant. We started taking our taxes to Bob eleven years ago when we lived in the town where his business is located. We’ve moved twice since then, but continued to have Bob do our taxes even though our first move was almost four hours away.

Monopoly for the Wii, Do Not Pass Go
By P-RAY for SavedGamers
Wii Monopoly, not much fun.
Being a guy who has a family, we own a couple of game systems. We have a 360 for the more hardcore games, and we have a Wii so our kids can waggle to their hearts content. When we saw one of the best selling games of all time on one of the best selling consoles of all time, we were excited,and decided to rent the title.
