John or Jesus

God is great God is good.
And please let John the Baptist not look like Jesus. Amen.

Mom: Owen WHERE did THAT come from?
Owen: Because Mom everybody thought that John the Baptist was Jesus!

So we're having Vacation Bible School this week at church and today's subject was.....yes, John the Baptist and Jesus. Need I say more?

The picture is Owen and my PUUURRREEECCIIIOOUUSSSS niece Delaney. She said a little prayer in the bathroom today.

Thank you for my little brother. She doesn't have a little brother.

That is so funny. It's true. Throw some robes and beards on kids and they always look like Jesus. Oh, that being LIKE Jesus were really that easy. =)

Sorry to change the subject abruptly, but I wanted to share a prayer request. You’ve perhaps read in a post or two that I have a brother Dave [2 years older]. He lives in a small historic district of registered centennial homes north of Detroit about 3.5 hours from my house.
He is an excellent videographer/ filmmaker both privately and commercially. He is shooting our daughter's wedding next week. He also made two films to show: one at the wedding and one at the reception. Anyway, he called Tuesday to say they were done and ready to put in the mail.
Then he then went a few blocks away to a friend's house. Within the hour, his son called. He was asleep in his upstairs bedroom and woke up choking in smoke. The house was burning. He climbed down from his upstairs balcony. Smoke billowing from all windows. Fire on all three floors.
[The fire started in a junction box in the basement and climbed up the clothes chute.] Dave came home and 4 fire trucks soon joined him. He called back while they were busting out windows and hosing down his house. They'll be out of the house for 4 months. Basically, everything is either burned, melted, or smoke damaged. Amazingly, a fireman pulled much of his editing suite out to the lawn. In the pile was his cameras, hard drives, computers, and over 400 baby-thru-dating pictures of my daughter and her fiancĂ©. The house was full of antiques on both floors. Most can be salvaged. Insurance is taking good care of them. He insists on still shooting the wedding. They’re spirits are very good considering what these past two days have held.
It's too soon to post this at POI, but I wanted to tell some folks about it. Thank God they're all Okay, but please pray for them as they sort through this sad debris.

Oh Tom I'm so sorry! I will certainly pray for you and Dave and his family. And all those involved. Please remember that there WILL be people praying.Keep me informed...especially if there is anything else I need to pray for. I know you know that God is there thru everything...just take solace in that.
