   Re: yesterday’s movie post, I do vaguely remember it, but I haven’t seen it in quite some time. I’d have to see it again to decide if I want to add it to my movie collection. I do have “Young Frakenstein” in my collection….a movie made in B/W in a time when all films and TV shows were being done in color. It really seamed to capture the mood & spirit of the old Frankenstein movies.

   Praying is not just making requests of God. It’s also thanking Him for the blessings you already have.

   That’s right Susan. “Be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Philippians 4:6

   Just remember Grandpa, maybe Grandma wishes she’d married some famous actor of the same generation.

   Ruthie has been around her grandpa almost every day of her life of 6 years and she asks him if he prays?

   Garth Brooks recorded a hit song, “Unanswered Prayers,” which included the line “Thank God for unanswered prayers.

   Here are various versions of James 4:3:

   TNIV: When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

   KJV: Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

   NLT: And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.

   If Grandpa had married Sophia Loren, Ruthie would not even exist.

   There are ignorant men who tell their children, “If I had married (so-and-so) instead of your mother, you would have had (so-and-so) as your mother.”

   Pray for blessings, not for things.

   Jesus said to pray in secret, not in front of other people to show off how pious you are (like TV evangelists).

   I prayed for Sophia Loren - didn’t work for me, either.
   (Or Brooke Shields, or Natalie Portman, or…)

   See it again, BC13 - it has Steve Martin interacting with cuts from some great old B&W detective movies, with actors like
   Humphrey Bogart, Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Ingrid Bergman, Lana Turner, Joan Crawford, and even Charles Laughton, as I remember. It’s done very well, and was directed by Carl Reiner, which is always a big plus in my opinion.

   It’s called “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid”. Came one out year prior to my existance (1980).

    “TNIV: When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”

    And what if you pray for someone to get better? And they don’t, is that because you prayed for your own pleasure? Excuse me for being pleased that they’d be better. What if they pray to be healed, and aren’t? Are they wrong to be pleased that they’ve recovered? Well, that’s how god made humans. To derive pleasure from healing and getting better.

    Prays are god’s way of knowing he’s hurting you enough. So he can give you even more.

    One only receives what God wills.

    can’t you all just read and enjoy the comic for what it is instead of disecting it and offering up opinions?

    mrprongs > There are plenty of reliable testimonies of people being healed by Jesus, with medical evidence to back it up.
    Somethimes other things block Gods healing.
    A Canadian pastor told us “if you’re bitter you won’t be better !”
    Can’t claim to know the specifics, but I do know God loves His children.

    I sincerely hope Grandpa meant “Not all my prayers have been answered.” If he’s correct that “All my prayers have not been answered”, he needs to change either his prayer technique, or for what he prays! Still, you have to admire his tenacity; 80 years of unanswered prayers, and he hasn’t given up yet…

    Sometimes the best answer is no. If he’d married Sophia Loren, would he have enjoyed life as much as he has? With age he realizes that the answer he got was better than what he’d asked for.
