Thanks to Puppetvision Blog for This update:

Yesterday ABC officially announced that they have ordered a script and five episode outlines for America’s Next Muppet, a new “reality” TV show starring the Muppets.

If the show is picked up by ABC would mark the first time the Muppets have had a primetime series since Muppets Tonight! was cancelled in 1998.

Hope it makes it to Primetime! Then maybe we will get it over here in Aussie!

Well I have just put ‘Super Strong God’ on my iPod – and we will be releasing the album this weekend in our once a year family services!

The final artwork is REALLY cool. I haven’t seen the final DVD yet, but can’t wait to check it out in all its glory!

Now if you are not in Australia or New Zealand you will be wating a couple of months before this is released in your part of the world, so do yourself a favour and get your internet browser to here: SUPER STRONG GOD

You can also check out clips from all the songs!

Rick Warren of Saddleback Church is profiled as one of Americas 25 best leaders. A very complimentary and interesting look at his leadership style. And also great to see church leaders among all the business and government people profiled.

From the sad but true file:

A CHRISTIAN charity is sending a film on the Christmas story to all 26,000 primary schools in Britain after hearing of a young boy who asked his teacher why Mary and Joseph named their baby after a swear word.

Michelle Duggar just delivered her 16th child, and she’s already thinking about doing it again.

“We both just love children and we consider each a blessing from the Lord. I have asked Michelle if she wants more and she said yes, if the Lord wants to give us some she will accept them,” he said in a telephone interview.

Talk about growing a Children’s Ministry!

That is one way to make sure you get looked after in your retirement!

Ten-year-old twin girls in Vienna, Va., were awakened after midnight by an intruder. It was a masked man who broke into their family home and went straight to their bedroom, police say. He grabbed one of the girls and tried to gag her, which woke up her sister. The two girls, who have been taking martial arts lessons for self defense, “responded the way they were instructed to,” said a police spokesman: they beat on him.

The ruckus awoke their parents, and their father quickly arrived and beat the man with a table lamp, but he escaped. Their mother recognized the man’s voice: it was the girls’ Tae Kwan Do instructor, she said. Police went to the home of instructor Andrew M. Jacobs, 42, and arrested him after he admitted he was the burglar. Police noted he had bruises on his face. (Vienna Connection, Washington Post)

…The good news is, he’s not all that good at Tae Kwan Do. The better news is, he teaches it really well.

Adam was walking round the garden one day looking miserable. God said to him, “What’s wrong with you?” Adam said “I’m lonely, I’ve got nothing to do, I’ve named all the animals and I’m bored.” So God said, “I could make you a woman if you like.” Adam replied, “What would that be like?”

“Well”, said the LORD, “she’d be kind of like you but kind of different. She’d be very beautiful and just looking at her would knock your socks off. If she kissed you you’d think you were going to faint. You’d find her ravishing, gorgeous, amazing. She would think you were the centre of the universe. She’d passionately love you, bear children for you, cook and clean for you. She’d get up in the night if the kids cried, she’d never complain about how little you do, if you ever had an argument she would apologise and say it must have been her fault.”

“Wow”, replied Adam. “That sounds fantastic. I bet a woman like that would be very expensive.” “You better believe it”, said the Lord, “She’d cost you an arm and a leg.” “An arm and a leg?”, replied Adam. “Tell me, what could I get for a rib?” And that’s where all the trouble started.

Just spoke at our Hillsong Bible College on Wednesday about the Internet and Media.

For all those at the class, or even if you are just curious… then the notes are available for download.

This is a quick little primer for anyone who would like to use/search the net for Childrens Ministry related info, and also a basic outline of how the web works.

Harry S. Truman said:

“In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves… self-discipline with all of them came first.”

Self-discipline isn’t about torturing yourself or denying yourself. It’s about mastering yourself as a surgical tool you can use to pursue the purpose of God wholeheartedly.

You want to lead a powerful team of leaders who passionately believe they are called to minister to kids?

Then master YOURSELF first!
