Cat lost on the way to opera…
Wednesday, September 07, 2011
I was driving on my way to work and saw this sign. I passed three of them before I stopped and took a photo. In my mind all I could envision was a cat like “Puss in Boots” but with a tuxedo, cumberbund and bow tie, perhaps a small tophat and a walking cane strolling through Jones Valley singing Sinatra’s “I’ve got the world on a string”, “...I’ve got the world on a string…sitiin’ on a rainbow, got the string around my finger…what a world, what a life….I’m in LOVE!” Hit it boys!!! Then a chorus of mice join in…bop, bop, bopity bop….
Here’s your challenge: Come up with the most creative story of what the cat was doing, who he was with, etc…you may also consider other ‘parallel’ stories i.e. Lost German Shepherd wearing semi-formal attire, white dinner jacket…. or Lost Rabbit wearing cocktail dress and heels…
P.S. Please don’t remind us all about the ‘seriousness’ of the lost feline. We know. We all care. The sign is funny.. This is a JOKE…r-e-l-a-x….

“Jesus + Nothing = Everything will remind you of the ancient yet ever-fresh truth that everything we need is found in the perfections of Christ—not in ourselves, not in our reputation, our relationships or wealth or accomplishments—in Christ alone. If you’ve never rested in the finished work of Christ this book is for you. If you’ve rested in it for decades like I have, this book is for you, too. Why? Because we forget; And, although we love Jesus, we’re blind to the ways in which his work connects to our daily lives and we wonder why joy and zeal are foreign concepts to us.” -Elyse Fitzpatrick

From the publisher: “It is a deep and rich biblical study of sanctification - how Christians grow in holiness and become more like Jesus. In a day when Christians are very prone to pursue self-help methods to grow in obedience to Christ, Walter Marshall lays out the biblical way of growth: obedience comes as Christians live by grace, in union with Christ, by faith.” This book influenced me PROFOUNDLY on the topic of sanctification. The Modern-English re-write makes this a TOP PICK for 2011!

I ‘accidentally’ picked up this book simply for the title alone. I grew to hate it quickly. It hit a little ‘too close to home.’ Fischer’s book plunges the scalpel of self-awareness and need for deep repentance deep into the hard hearts of Pharisees like ME!

If you want to listen to bold preaching by a man who knows his sin, knows his weaknesses and trusts only Jesus to take what he says and use it to God’s glory then you are heading in the right direction. The preaching is bold, the preacher is humble and you will be blessed.

Steve BrownSteve Brown is not the most subtle guy you will ever meet. If I were to write an S.A.T. question about Steve this is how it would go: Steve Brown is to legalism what a child hopped-up on cake and ice cream is to an pinata! I love this guy. Check out his website and fair warning: you are not heading to a ‘SAFE’ little Christian site!

Because of the cold snap, the cat became confused and put on a penguin costume.

Let’s see: (1)The cat is on a mission-focused. (2)His somewhat formal attire denotes seriousness. (3)I note that there is no gray area about him. (4)And so it is obvious to me that the cat must be Presbyterian (though not of the liberal family mind you) and quite possibly answers to the name Skeets.
I’d begin my search in Jones Valley.
Sincerely,
Ken (Reformed and immersed) Askew

Clearly if the owner was looking for a cat in a tuxedo, he would look to the houses with the HOT kitty. Dude is out painting the town, or he eloped!!
