I attempted to write a review of Eminence a couple of days ago.  I was quite pleased with it and it was very long...Then the whole thing was deleted.  In revenge, I refused to make a new entry for a few days.

Eminence was indeed better than it has been in a long time.  The overall attitude was better and that was wonderful.  Lots of outside of class singing and studying went on.

Here are some quotes from the edifying week.  Theme: "The Truth About the Truth"

-"Happiness--the world doesn't have it."  (Dan Green on the topic "The Truth About Happiness).

-"We're not saved by facts, we're saved by truth...Jesus didn't say, 'I'm the way, the facts, and the life.'"  (Jay Graham--"The Truth About the Truth")

-"We work so that we will have things to share with others." (Jim Baysinger--"The Truth About Grace")

-"That's the quickest way to decrease, isn't it?  Have your head cut off." (Jim Baysinger speaking of John the baptist).

-"Would you awlk down the raod and ask to eat lunch with someone you've never met?" (Jim Baysinger)

-"Life is not a playground, it's a battlefield.  Life is serious business...It's a competition...Live life in the spirit, not according to the flesh." (Tom Dennis--"The Truth About Sin")

-""It just goes on and on and--GO AWAY!" (Tom Dennis interrupting himself to shoo away a giant bee).

-"Sin is like stricnine with a candy coating on it." (Tom Dennis)

-"Don't try to make love by braille." (Tom Dennis speaking of refraining from lust and tempting situations before marriage).

-"Let's call sin sin and warn people of the awfulness of it and stay away from it ourselves." (Tom Dennis)

-"God is not interested in external things, He's interested in our lives." (Louis Garbi--"The Truth About Denominationalism)

-"People bow down to a person who has to change their underwear the same as everyone else...Tehy don't care, they say, 'Ahh yes, bow down to this.  This is God.'" (Louis Garbi)

-"C'mon you little snot!  You're going into heaven!" (Louis Garbi speaking of the wrong way to think of Jesus, said with a spanking gesture).

-"Well...(HOCK, HACK, SPIT)...I didn't mean to do that." (Louis choking on a bug after trying to respond to the question, "What do you think about [insert issue]?")

Stories of our wild and crazy time in good old Eminence, Missouri are soon to follow.
