Well, sweet Moses! I can’t believe I forgot this one tiny thing:
I don’t have to have deliverance.
This, according to a certain person with whom we’re all acquainted now. During our summit, I told Joey that I’d been down that road before, that it had only brought harm and confusion, and that I’d be following the path of sanctification as laid out in the Word — and no other. To this, she responded:
“Well, I guess you don’t have to have deliverance prayer.”
(Golly, thanks for the permission. What a relief to have the green light to continue doing what I’m doing.)
Then she added:
“I mean, I guess we don’t have to agree on this.”
Hmmmm …… well …..
I tried to be delicate. I’m so good at delicate. Watch me try to tippy-toe:
“Well, Joey, I would exhort you to spend some time studying the whole of Scripture to see if it bears out this practice of deliverance of believers.”
Oh, yeah. Tippy Toe.
That this actually came out of my mouth was a meeeracle, considering that this is what first popped into my head: “Yes, we do! !?#$&!! This isn’t a debatable issue. This is extra-biblical c-r-a-p! Walk away before you can’t see or think straight anymore, you cotton-headed ninny muggins!!”
(And “cotton-headed ninny muggins” comes from? Anyone?)
Now that I think of it, I can’t believe I passed on yet another prime opportunity to call someone a cotton-headed ninny muggins. I’ve had a spate of ’em lately.
That’s it. The next one who comes my way is gonna hear it.
I’m Tippy-Toed out, America.
Love it! Can’t believe I found someone who is also trying to set these people straight (nicely when they don’t push it)! I’ve posted this on Twerpette.
I don’t know the “ninny-muggins” quote.
But I’d like to.
Elf, people — ELF!!!
Give the li’l lady a prize! From the movie “Elf” with Will Ferrell, an actor/comedian for whom I have an inexplicable fascination.
M@ — Oh, dear. I’m afraid your ignorance of the reference makes you a Cotton-Headed Ninny Muggins!! 😉
Ah. I missed that one. My brother told me it was horrible.
Now that I think about it, my brother liked “National Treasure”, which was just horrible. And T likes Elf. Hm….I think I know what I’m renting soon.
I mean, it has Bob Newhart in it! He’s RAD!!!!!
-M@
1) Bob Newhart *IS* rad. Glad someone else thinks so.
2) MF = Dan Akroyd and Will Ferrell’s love child. I AM NOT KIDDING. Looks, intelligence, sense of humor, deadpan delivery — the works. I am the luckiest girl on the face of the earth! (Well, other than T…)
WG — Really? You are a lucky girl.
And Bob Newhart is just delightful.
And “National Treasure” was horrible, M@.
