My first topic of interests comes from my friends Amy & Julian. And I want to recap a conversation that we had at church last night. Now Amy and Julian are newly married. And because of that, Amy thinks Julian is just the cat's meow. Well, actually, she thinks that he's more than just a meow...that he's a ROAR!

Let me explain this ROAR phenomenon...for all of you who might not have been in church recently, or who might not attend Living Word. One of our pastors, Bro Bryan Rocine, was talking about the young men and referring to them as young lions. This analogy came from some scriptures he referrenced. (see http://livingwrd.org/audio/audio.html Wednesdays May 21st and 28 to hear more of this interesting sermon)
Anyways, so here's Amy, in love, sitting there listening to the word next to her sweetie Julian. So, she begins poking him in the side, "Honey, he's talking about you! You're a lion" poke! poke!
Now the next details get a little fuzzy. The sermon on May 21st ended and somehow Julian and Bro Bryan Rocine get to chatting. And how it came up that his new bride was poking him and telling him he was a lion, is kind of unclear. There was also some kind of promise made by Julian to Bro Bryan that he was going to "ROAR!" from now on instead of saying "Amen" during the preaching. Julian says this was all said as a big joke, however we're not quite sure what to believe here.
But we know all that we need to know for now. Because the following Wednesday (last night) Bro Bryan brought up Julian and Amy off the pulpit and shared how Amy was poking Julian and calling him a lion. Then, as if to punctuate the statement, Julian lets out a roar! right in the middle of church. Bro Bryan then responds with a thought that we all had been thinking at that point, "Uh Julian, that kinda sounded more like a meow than a roar!" The congregation was then roaring themselves (in laughter of course)!
Look at all you can miss when you miss one sermon!
