Be like Charlie...
Dr. Powell is great. He makes me smile. I think of good thoughts when I think of him now.
Dr. Powell is one of our Bible faculty that is very passionate about the Bible and Christ. His voice is very calm and soft, like that of a story-teller. And for some reason un be-knownst to me, he prounces some of his 'd's as 't's.
Weird,... but he delivered a great prayer thought today. Friendship. He points out the scriptures Proverbs 18:24 ("A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.") and John 15:13 ("Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.") As you can tell, Dr. Powell emphasized the friendship that Christ wants to have us. He even laid down his life for us as a friend! He had powerpoint pictures to go along with his presentation complete with a video clip from "Hidalgo" (sp?) Ok, so it's true, I had a little condensation form in the eye during the clip. The 5 minutes shown displayed the friendship between a man and his horse. Haven't seen it? Then you can watch it with me because I haven't either.
As a finale, Dr. Powell presented... "Charlie." Who is Charlie pray tell? It is his four pound yorkie/chihuhua (aka yorkiehuhua). As he showed several pictures, he explained how much he loved charlie. Charlie is always the first one to run to him at home, ears down, toungue out, and tail awaggin'. If you have a dog, you know this? There have been times Dr. Powell tripped over Charlie, or kicked him, or sat on him. Charlie became scared and hurt, but somehow charile always quickly forgave him. What a wonderful love! Christ's love is the same as this. Not that I'm calling Christ a canine, but dog's reflect the love of Christ. Usually unconditional and unbiased. Thank God for His Heagape!
