Jesus goes poo like Elmo

Ezra was drumming the other night and making up his own songs to Jesus.The first song was pretty straight forward. The lyrics were something like "we praise you Jesus."

The second song was a little more imaginative... "Jesus goes poo like Elmo." I'm so glad Jay was there as a second witness! very funny.

The background story: Ezra has this "Elmo Pottytime" dvd. There is a song on the dvd about how everyone in the whole world goes poo on the potty. I'm always telling Ezra that he will learn how to go poo on the potty like Elmo. In his 2 year old brain I'm not sure if there is a greater achievement.

To say that Jesus goes poo like Elmo is a very meaningful statement of praise for a toddler and also a great theological statement about Jesus being God incarnate... fully God, fully man. ha! :-)

So, don't forget to use this new statement of praise in your next worship service.

a stolen thought on prayer:

"to maintain a prayerful state of heart and mind, we must regularly move prayer from the subconscious to the conscious realm, deliberately inviting Christ out of the twilight and into the limelight of our lives. There are many ways of doing this... every person is different, but we all need to find those people and places that enable us to re-center on Christ regularly, so that the reflex reaction of our lives remains prayerful, all the time." - from the 24/7prayer website (http://www.24-7prayer.com/prayer/theology)

Well put!

The Huia's song (Te Reo Maori)

He nui ake te koha i te marereko
Maku e tau mai ka whakangaa
Kei to karauna taku kohanga ariki
Whakahonoretia koe e au
Te timatanga me te mutunga
Taku waiata koe i whiriwhiria
Hei whakamaanawa mo Aotearoa e

E te manu huia, whakahokia mai!

The Huia's song:

I give more than a feather for your head,
I'll come here to rest.
I'll make my bed in your crown, a royal nest.
It is you that I honour,
The First and the Last.
My song you have chosen,
Aotearoa you bless.

Huia come home.
