But, YES! men of the cave and of God, it is time to delve into the Word.
Let's trust this will be His Word speaking to us. Dear Lord, please, help all we men to hear your Spirit speak through us, I pray we trust your power and ability to show, teach, say something to all of us of your Love and your direction for us in life. Amen.
The word for today is 'trust,' for some it sounds like a regular five letter word, and, to others it's more like a four-letter word, not a bad four-letter word, mind you, but, not a real good one either. 'Trust' for some is a word they love to h-a-t-e. Hate. C'mon, didn't your mama or dada ever tell ya, boys, don't hate
But, why do many think 'trust' is a four-letter unloving word? Because, it's easy for some to hate to trust. When we trust someone, it means we can be being asked to do terrible things, even, like, gasp!, giving away our man card. Remember, God wants us to be humble in His sight, so, yes, considering God is first in the food chain, so to speak, then, Christ, then, man, then, everybody cheer, woman, and, LIGHTupthesky and tintinman quit raising those pom-poms you hid under your bed from seoulsearching, oceanicgirl, rel, were in here dressing up our room last night pink while we went and got FREE milkshakes from them, anyway, didn't your mama, dada teach you boys that we ARE to always RESPECT women with the 'fear of God' understanding that they are the weaker vessel but to be treated with care and kindness and Love, His Love? So, yes, they are the head of no one but they are also the tail of no one either. The only one who was kicked in the tail, heel rather, was Satan, and, he trusted himself to be able to be more powerful than God. Talk about faith in the wrong kind of trust. Sheeesh. What a dumb snake that dude.
So, men, we are talking about trust. A five-letter word in itself, right, simple, and, put trust with God and you have in God we trust, that's simple, but, put it with 'hate' and some love to hate to trust others, they don't want to. So, we are exploring why is that. Does God want us to trust others? Yes an no. He wants us to trust Him through others speaking to us.
God gave us hands, feet, eyes, legs, arms, shoulders, we trust we can move when we need to, or, just want to, and, we trust we can catch things when we need to, or, want to. Same goes for our shoulders, which keep us standing up straight. Men, always stand up straight, don't slouch! No Napoleon Dynamites here, OK? Or, I'll bip ya
But, men, we trust God for all the members of our body working together and so we should realize that, as 1 Cor. 12 says, as I read the message's text now, out of the KJV bible.we all do different things, like LIGHTupthesky cooks, catstaffer and nukedpoochers do the 'special music,' dyingdailyHis is most attentive I see so far to my message, I almost want to say, 'Quit eyeballing me, boy,' ha, just kidding, bro, I like a pay-attention man, it builds character ! And, tintinman, is good for keeping us realizing that 3 versions of the bible are his favorite and telling us why, so, he's challenging us, and, never mind the doctrine discrepancies, that's God's department, if your in disagreement, the Lord leads, but, the challenging us, that's the good 'member' of this aussie chap. And, seatbelted's opened up his man cave to us for a little bromance, ha, just kidding, fellers, a little bro-time rather. ALL these different parts make up one body, doing great things to make the whole show blow, no member greater than the other, all one, following Him, encouraging each other.
One body we are, in Christ, Christian brothers solely with one purpose: to serve Him together, as brothers, in unity, and, of course, as if we read on to 1 Corinthians 13, we see that 'love' is of the utmost.Dudes, we are to TRUST in Christ to move us how he wants to move our 'members,' we all have ways He wants us to move it, move it, move it. Tintinman, can you get up and do a little 'Madagascar' movie dance for us, and, take Colakid with ya, he showed us his grooves when he bought that spinning, dancing kid pic to the man cave .
Suhhhhhh-weeet. Gentleman, look at those boys go, they are juking 'n a-jiving, swinging and a slammin', and, HEY!, quit that slammin' so much tintinman, yer making us nervous, you're 6-5, got five inches on the kid, your butts almost hitting his neck, worse yet, face. Next time, I ask for this kind of demonstration for Colakid and tintinman, remind me, men, to put high heels on Colakid. ha-ha, funny. LAUGH, MEN !!!
So, OK, in conclusion of today's trust message, I honestly want to get through guys that God trusts in you, He knows what you can do, and, it's very simple. Any guesses?
"Me, me, me, me," says LIGHTupthesky, who is still laughing his buns off, after having watched tintinman's gluteousmaximus nearly collide with colakid's chin in the 'move it' dance demonstration.
Ok, LIGHT, settle it on down there, bro. And what is your answer for what God knows you can do after He does trust in you?
"Trust in Him," says LIGHT.
Bingo ! Give that boy the Haagen Daaz prailines 'n cream pint, prize.
"What? What? about all us, other men," tintinman chimes in.
Oh, I don't play favorites, men, hopefully, you all know that envy and jealousy is one of the seven deadly sins. Don't put people into spots of envy, where they desire what you have, or, jealousy, where YOU desire what they have. Make sense?
The Lord leads, if it doesn't make sense. And, gents, we are done, you can all go, I trust, the rest of the evening thinking a little different about the word, trust, and, how we are to trust God in everything, we are to KNOW that God's got our back, He doesn't need us to have His back, but He needs us to TRUST He has our back. Make sense?
Scripture says in 1 John 3:16, I believe, that there is no greater Love than this: to lay down one's life for your sisters and brothers. Now, that, my friends, takes some kind of trust, huh. And, we only get it from trusting in Him, He who is in us, living, breathing, abiding, wanting so much for us to abide, trust in Him, to obey, trust, to trust and obey .
Let's sing a song quickly then closing. [video=youtube;Q00TXBPl9i4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q00TXBPl9i4[/video]God bless you, men, for your great choices in the man cave, to honor Christ, use your gifts for His glory, and, even allow ladies in, as He leads. Remember, ladies are to be protected and respected, never forget that. God made ladies SPECIAL, YOU treat them like they are ALL your little sister(s)
, with His Love . Good, now, let's all dig in to some Haagen Daaz, but, first, prayer. Who wants to close the man service with a prayer?

I remember when some buddies of mine from my old church opened up a paintball arena back in the 90's...ohhh man that was a lot of fun. They came to me & said "You listen to all that aggressive christian music don't you...can you make us a mixed cd we can loop while we have indoor battles?" I will never forget the first time I heard "Deviate" by Brainchild or "Victory" by Deliverance on a 4K surround sound system!!! There's something so satisfying about shooting people with balls of paint while listening to God's word blasted out over a layer of crunchy Marshall stacks! lol
For the record...I positively detest you,good sir. lolz
*Snickers...shhhhh guys, He fell for it
Ok ok next time we'll shoot at Antenna balls to see who gets out of cleaning the Cave next

Nuke... I like the idea of a wagon, almost as much as I like the motivation behind it.
However.
I see one problem. Flatty's too good looking a piece of muscle to hide under a hood. If we're building a wagon, can we do something like a GMC Safari (the old wagons not the late model vans, names get recycled) with a 527? A block that big looks even bigger tucked under a hood. Besides, nothing says sleeper like a tubbed wagon.
Maybe we should put the Flatty in a Mordor Ford choptop. It'll still give us a little cross country opportunities, and space for pizza runs. Lets face it, not having to tip the driver + not getting a pizza that smells like Pall Malls is Worth going to pick it up! Besides, there would always be a scuffle for who Gets to go pick up the pizzas!

I think you've got it right there. Gotta show the flathead. Of course then I gotta grease my hair.
I think we could tow the choptop with the wagon, of course I'm not sure a 572 would handle it (grin)...but with twin turbos...gotta make sure we're not in the slow lane up in the Rocky Mountain air. Maybe even a newer wagon from the Brady Bunch era? Something with fake woodgrain? I must admit I have a special place in my heart for the Wagon Queen Family Truckster... Naw, best to keep it classic. I'm digging this Pontiac...

Ohhhh you wanted a wagon, why didn't ya say so.
What if it snows? Gotta be able to get to the pizza place if it snows.
I had a Suburban once as the 'Family vehicle' and On the registration it actually designated..."Stationwagon"

What's the registration say on it? "Stationwagon"
How is this in the same class as Midnite's 'Burban?
More importantly... who modded the burban & what can you tell me about the mods? I'm purdy sure those didn't ever come on a 4wd frame. Did you do a frame swap? Did you hang an new crossmember to put in a transfer case? Am I barking up the wrong tree?
