  2. Walking through downtown ground zero, Corky could visualize the state of Evangelicalism in general and the Reformed movement in particular: total devastation.

    and "A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. (1 Peter 2:8 ESV)

  3. Many years ago, on a business trip to NYC, I saw Dom DeLuise casually chatting with some ladies in front of Carnegie Hall. I said Hello and that I liked his work. He smiled and said thanks. He is shorter and slimmer in person.

  4. A Christmas Story
    (The real one)

    The Exalted Servant

    13 Behold, My servant will prosper,
    He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.
    14 Just as many were astonished at you, My people,
    So His appearance was marred more than any man
    And His form more than the sons of men.
    15 Thus He will sprinkle many nations,
    Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him;
    For what had not been told them they will see,
    And what they had not heard they will understand.

    The Suffering Servant

    Who has believed our message?
    And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
    2 For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,
    And like a root out of parched ground;
    He has no stately form or majesty
    That we should look upon Him,
    Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
    3 He was despised and forsaken of men,
    A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
    And like one from whom men hide their face
    He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

    4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore,
    And our sorrows He carried;
    Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
    Smitten of God, and afflicted.
    5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
    He was crushed for our iniquities;
    The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
    And by His scourging we are healed.
    6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,
    Each of us has turned to his own way;
    But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all
    To fall on Him.

    7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
    Yet He did not open His mouth;
    Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
    And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
    So He did not open His mouth.
    8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
    And as for His generation, who considered
    That He was cut off out of the land of the living
    For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
    9 His grave was assigned with wicked men,
    Yet He was with a rich man in His death,
    Because He had done no violence,
    Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

    10 But the LORD was pleased
    To crush Him, putting Him to grief;
    If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,
    He will see His offspring,
    He will prolong His days,
    And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
    11 As a result of the anguish of His soul,
    He will see it and be satisfied;
    By His knowledge the Righteous One,
    My Servant, will justify the many,
    As He will bear their iniquities.
    12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,
    And He will divide the booty with the strong;
    Because He poured out Himself to death,
    And was numbered with the transgressors;
    Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
    And interceded for the transgressors.

    Isaiah 52:13-53:12
    (NASB)

    Thank you Lord Jesus

  8. On his way to deliver a check from Eddie to Corey P., the Ink Slinger, for $7,124.69, Corky Velveeta not only wondered where Corey would spend his check, but also wondered where he would cash it.

  10. @ Meghan Smith

    The Mad Libs (using words from the Institutes) was absolutely hilarious.

    I wrote a comment in your comment box, but was not able post it because "access" was "not allowed."

  12. I wonder if Corky is related to the grenade with the smiley face on its pin used for the Battelfield: Bad Company video game logo?
