Larrouxvee
Wednesday, March 02, 2011
Okay, so here’s a bit of levity. One of our elders, Skeets Simonis, made a point during a Session meeting that perhaps I was pushing the pace of our meetings a bit beyond what the normal comfort level had been previously. We’ve all had a good-hearted laugh at each other during some of the meetings to ensure that everyone is getting a chance to give input, but also that motions, input and discussion doesn’t languish on indefinitely. Jonathan Barnette, James Parker and me produced this video as a fun introduction to the Elder’s retreat held last weekend in Fort Payne, Alabama. Suffice to say we laughed until we wept.
-Jean Larrouxvee
Here are the Lyrics:
Skeets said, “Slow Down! youʼre movinʼ too fast.
Weʼve got to make our meetings last”
he said, “Sit Down, weʼre going home.
weʼre almost done cuz
Heʼs Larrouxveeeeeeeeee
ba da da daaa daaa daaa daaa
Iʼm Larrouxveeeeeeeeee
Hello John Bise, What ‘cha knowinʼ?
“Iʼve come to watch that docket Growinʼ”
“ainʼt you got no time for me?”
dootʼn doot doo doot
Heʼs Larrouxveeeeeeeeee
ba da da daaa dam bah daaa da dam
Iʼm Larrouxveeeeeeeeee
Iʼve Got..thoughts for you but no words to speak
Iʼm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
a motion to Adjourn would be just fine by me
Jean we love you..
youʼre Larrouxveeeeeeeeee
badabada badabada…..

“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!

Ricky JonesRicky Jones is the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is a trophy of grace. 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.
- Key Life Ministries
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!

LOVE. Treen approved. Molly has watched “allie reid’s daddy!!” all morning. James and Jonathan need raises. And I am not just sayin that cause they are our sweet friends. Ok, maybe I am a little.

Too funny…we had just finished watching some Tim Hawkins (www.timhawkins.net) videos and saw this when checking the blog for comments on the “grace” article. Now the big kids are making their own version using the video capabilities on the other computer! “I’m Larrouxvee…”. Hilarious!!

Just curious: do some of you youngsters reading this blog know the original song on which this is based? Even know that it is based on a classic?
Great job!

Simon & Garfunkel, “Feelin’ Groovy” or “The 59th Street Bridge Song”...here’s a live version.

My kids think the Larrouxvee version is better than the original Simon & Garfunkle version of “Feelin’ Groovy”
(I showed that to them first for context).

This is the BEST! Hayden asks to watch it over and over. We had to show him S & G’s feeling groovy so he’d understand why its so awesome. Amazing talent in the pulpit and behind it on guitar!!! love my Southwood family!!
