"You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts."
~Charles Spurgeon

In the 60's it was the Monkees, in the 70's it was the Jackson 5, the 80's (early 90's) it was the NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!! And yes...I was a fan! I had their posters up on my wall, wrote "I love Jordan Knight" everywhere, wore their t-shirts, went to a concert, knew all the words to all their songs and even memorized the choreography. Today, my dear husband reminded me of how much of a teeny-bopper I was and sent me these videos. Fan or not, I'm sure you'll get a kick out of watching these:

Psalm 116: 1-9

I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.

Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.

Then I called on the name of the LORD :
"O LORD, save me!"

The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.

The LORD protects the simplehearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.

Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.

For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,

that I may walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
