Andrew is 3 posts behind Bob! Will the Bob get his surge of posting adrenaline and push Andrew into a demoralizing defeat? Or will he hit the wall while Andrew flies by singing Psalms? Come on Bob! Pick it up! I don't need to be next!

The real question is who can afford the best donation to the poor seminary student with the power to delete posts....

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)

When all souls are saved and all mourners comforted we may venture to discuss recondite theories, but not while graveyards are filling with those who know not God. -- CH Spurgeon

[b]The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Luke 18:27[/b]

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior's blood.
Died he for me...

(Oh no! Will this thread turn into another EP debate?)

who caused his pain?
For me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be That thou, my God, shouldst die for me?...

Me: But coach. [panting] I can't go another stroke! My fingers are cramping up!

Coach:Work through it, Howes! You stop, and the rest of the team does icon sprints and goes on a 10 page run afterwards!

Me: But coach!

Coach: Howes!

Me: Ok, Ok, I'm going!

Now, I'm up by 4 posts!

I'm just a poor layman, lacking in funds...

...but have I told you lately how much I appreciate the wonderful job you do on the board as a SUPER ADMINISTRATOR (and the title really doesn't do you justice!). I admire the power that you have to delete posts - its amazing. That sure is super...

...And I'll just bet, unlike other moderators, administrators, and super administrators, that you probably even have the power to not only delete, but on occasion to add as well...old, buddy, old pal!

Some may think, for whatever reason, that I'm just trying to butter you up. I think you know me better than that, though. (?)

Now I'm up by 6! And after I click the Post Reply button, it'll be 7!!!

[thinking]
What will happen if I double click the Post Reply button...or triple click...
[/thinking]

{getting the butter out and preparing to butter up...}

{putting the butter back in the frig}

I really should start getting ready for work now, but is 8 enough of a buffer to allow me to get to work and keep Andrew from catching me? I doubt it, unless he sleeps in late! {sniffle, sniffle} I suppose I could call in sick today (I am getting a little sick of work, after all)...nah, can't do that...Any volunteers to take Andrew out for a few beers this morning and maybe treat him to one of those big, fat cigars (the real slow burning kind) afterwards?

Wish I had more Fred, but this is all I got right now!

gentlemen! Keep up the good work!

I don't wanna see a beer or a cigar this morning. Yesterday I was sick all day. Today I'm in recovery mode. I'll be posting fewer than usual, Bob...

So, we're talking maybe 30 or 40 instead of 50 or 60?

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Thanks, Bob!

Keep it up Bob! You widened your lead by 6!

Thanks, Patrick! And you just keep those dancing bananas coming. They may just come in handy if, by some unexpected turn of events, Andrew manages to pass me and starts chasing after you...I know you're thinking its purely hypothetical, but, use your imagination. It could (but probably won't) happen.

And you call yourself Reformed?

Shame, shame...

I am always Reforming; by noon today, Lord willing, I'll be ready for a smoke and a drink!

You know, Andrew, he's got a point there. A lot of folks look up to you as being truly reformed. In a way, you sort of set an example for the rest of us. You wouldn't want to cause a weaker brother/sister to stumble, would you? How would you feel if they said, "Andrew did it!" and started making up their own excuses not to have a good drink or a good cigar/pipe?

That's just my , but its something to think about.

Hey, is this a thread dedicated to gratuitous posts. I almost missed the last one I don't want to miss this opportunity. Question is who do I encourage. Ahh well being a good reformed Christian I have to choose one. Lets see, Bob have I loved but Andrew have I hated... No, no hmmmm, Andrew have I loved and Bob have I hated.... No, this is too tough for me, guess I'll leave the choosing up to God. Go Andrew, Go Bob...

You posted this as I was working on my last post. So glad to see that you're living up to, and exceeding, our expectations of you!
