Father, we love you and praise you that you didn't give us a life.
Simply be saved and sit down and wait till heaven's doors open for us.
But rather this exciting, ongoing, challenging experience of growing in our relationship
with you.
And Father, my heart's desire today is that every single person who listens to this message
may have stirred within them by the Holy Spirit.
This yearning, this desire to want to know you, want to develop an intimate relationship,
no longer be satisfied with just status quo, so to speak, or some stagnated kind of relationship,
but rather to be growing and deepening in their understanding and in their walk.
We love you, precious Jesus.
Dear Father, Holy Spirit.
Thank you for working in our life daily.
We want you to send into our life whatever is necessary to inform us of your likeness.
And we'll thank you for it, praise you for it, in Jesus' name.
Amen.

That's why a yearly mammogram is a must, especially if you're over 50.
While you may not be able to see something this small, a mammogram cannot.
Early detection is the best protection.

I've got Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
I see that, Mrs. Crotty.
She sees everything.
So, can you see what gives Cinnamon Toast Crunch its intense taste?
It must be something sneaky.
Uh-uh, it's obvious to any kid.
There's cinnamon and sugar squirled all over every bite.
For a totally intense taste, you can see.
And Toast Crunch is part of this complete breakfast.
Cinnamon and sugar?
Huh?

Mrs. Mom said it's all great now.
Today I learned that if I stay in school, I can do anything I want to be, even a TV star.
Whoa!
Hey, why don't you volunteer?
What?
Lots of parents do. Just call Junior Achievement.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is part of this complete breakfast.
Cinnamon and sugar, huh?
Looks pretty wild.
No wonder kids love it.
You're moving it.
No I'm not, you're moving it.
It's spelling something.
This is too weird.
Go ahead, ask another.
Ask another.

Yeah?
He's in this cave.
Uh-huh.
Guess who's home?
Gruesome.
Coming right at him.

Uh, I'll finish later.
