Let's take a moment and dive straight into the Word of God. If you have your Bible, let's go into Book of Acts chapter 3 and verse 6. Book of Acts chapter 3 and verse 6, and it says the following. Then Peter said to the man who was lame laying at the beautiful gate, he says, silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. This is a very, very famous and very known scripture. I want us to know one thing about Holy Spirit is when Jesus came on this earth, he said that Holy Spirit is the promise of the Father. And Prophet Joel, Prophet Joel prophesied about 800 years before the coming of Jesus that the Holy Spirit is going to come on this earth and that everything is going to be changed. Actually, Prophet Joel will be really proud today knowing that his prophecy is hanging on the wall in our church, right there. In the last days, God says I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh. Jesus comes 800 years later and says what Prophet Joel said is coming. And I'm going to make that happen. This prophecy was not an exaggeration. This prophecy will become a reality. Holy Spirit is the promise of the Father. Can somebody say amen? If you're taking notes right down to Holy Spirit is the petition of Jesus Christ. Because Jesus said not only the Father promised him, but I will ask the Father remind him and petition him. Make sure that promise will become a reality. The scripture says when Jesus went to heaven, his job in heaven, typically be a Christian thing that Jesus' job in heaven is to prepare heaven for us. But the Bible says that Jesus' job in heaven is to intercede for us, not to prepare heaven for us. Because if he's preparing heaven for us, it doesn't make sense in a way that people who died before us, they went where? Unprepared heaven? No, they went to heaven that is prepared. Heaven is ready for you and it's prepared. But Jesus in heaven is praying and his first prayer was, God give them the Holy Spirit and God answered that prayer. Can somebody say amen? Right down number three, the Holy Spirit is the purpose of salvation. When Apostle Peter finished preaching his first sermon in Acts chapter two verse 38, he says the following, repent, let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Typically, this is how it's heard in churches today. Repent, get baptized and you will receive the gift of eternal salvation. Apostle Peter preaches the first sermon after which three thousand people give their lives to Jesus and he says, I want you guys to repent, means change your way about God. Secondly, you have to do is right away you have to get water baptized. You have to get baptized into water to show to the world you are following Jesus. This will bring forgiveness of your sins so that you will get a gift of the Holy Spirit. Most of us think salvation is to help me get to heaven. The Bible says salvation is to help you first get the Holy Spirit. Heaven is later, Holy Spirit is now. Heaven is when you die, Holy Spirit is when you get saved. The purpose of your salvation is not just a ticket to heaven, the purpose of your salvation is the invitation of the greatest person who is on this earth today. That person is not Bill Gates, that person is not Barack Obama, these men are powerful influential, these men are not the makers of the world they influencing. Holy Spirit is and salvation invites him in. Can somebody say amen? Acts chapter 3 continues the story of Apostle Peter and John walking into the temple and the Bible says they meet a man who was laying at the temple and who was a beggar. He was homeless or he was very poor and he was begging for money. The scripture says the reason why he was begging for money is not because unemployment was high and there was no jobs. It wasn't because he was fired from his job and he could not find an employment. It was because he was lame in both of his feet. It's not that the man didn't have his feet, he didn't have his legs, it's that his legs did not carry him. His legs did not walk and he was a lame beggar. He was not sitting somewhere by a grocery store. He found a beautiful place by the church at the gates and they carried him there every single day and he would beg people for some donation. Apostle Peter and John walked seeing him being lame. They approached him and Peter and John did not have the funds with him because they gave to the church probably and he said to him, but what I have I will give you. In the name of Jesus he lifted him. He says I want you to get up. The man got up and instead of laying and begging he went around dancing and leaping and praising God. And this was a miracle. God still does miracles and he wants to do miracles today. He wants to do miracles in our life especially for people who are at church, close to church or have some kind of a connection. But in just few minutes I want to just bring a thought from this verse that applies to us as Christians that could be also in the temple. And we'll title this thought the lame Christian.  The lame meaning somebody who has something at his disposal he's currently don't know how to use. Lame Christian is someone who spends his life laying instead of leaping, begging instead of commanding. Lame Christian is someone who gets dragged instead of bringing others. Lame Christian is someone who has the legs that supposed to carry him but he is carrying them. Lame Christian is someone who has everything he needs inside of him and does not know how to tap it. Lame Christian is someone who is constantly asking for something from someone not knowing his bigger need is not what he's asking is something else. If you take notes I'll just write a few notes down and then I just want to share that thought in those points. The lame man is someone who is at the temple, has legs but his legs don't carry him. I want you to, this is not theologically correct, to imagine what legs meant to that man, Holy Spirit is to you. He had legs but didn't walk. Many people have the Holy Spirit but do not walk in him. Point number two, having legs does not mean you know how to walk.  The moment you receive Jesus in your heart on that very day you have all of God, the Holy Spirit in you but for some people it takes months, years and for some people they become like that man, already adults, record of coming to church but not really knowing what it's like to tap into the resource not in heaven, not at the White House or welfare but inside of him called the Holy Spirit. Having legs does not necessarily mean you know how to walk. Having the Holy Spirit does not necessarily mean you already walk in him. Most of the things come into our life in the package, if you get a vacuum or you get a TV or if you get a table it will all be disconnected and when you get it into the house you will say, I asked for a table, I got piece of wood and that's exactly how it comes to the Holy Spirit.  Legs are given to men so that legs will carry the man, not the other way around but for many people Holy Spirit is just someone they carry but it's not someone that carries them. Point number three, no one is born walking, we learn to walk or else we end up perfecting the skill of crawling. The Bible divides Christian life into two categories, walking or crawling. Walking is the Bible says walk in the spirit, crawling is when we crawl in the flesh. Flesh is not necessarily smoking, drinking and immorality. Flesh is simply a life of a Christian that has everything of God but using none of it. Life of flesh is having the Holy Spirit but constantly leaning on you, your efforts, your education, your connections, your influence constantly being defined by your weakness and your strengths instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to carry you through. Life in the flesh is also life in the sin, life in compromise, life when you come to church when you want to, life in the flesh is when you do when only it's good to you but the moment something goes against your feelings you drop it and you leave look for another church another pastor that does not offend you, life in the flesh. We have a lot of people who crawl it's completely fine if you're two months old but it's not fine if you're 20 year old. If you've been in church longer then these pews that's not fine and most of us will learn how to crawl a lot better than to learn how to walk. Point number four, when you don't know how to walk let someone who does give you a hand. When you don't know how to walk let someone who does give you a hand. When the lame man was laying there he had legs but didn't use them. Two men walked up to him who had legs but used them and they said we won't give you legs you have them but we will give you something we have and the Bible says as they let their hand down and they picked them up in that very moment strength came into the legs he already had and now this man is doing with his legs what apostles are doing with theirs anytime you have something inside of you the Holy Spirit the resources of God the power of God the promises of God but you are not tapping into it your life is not being affected by it you need someone who is tapping into it to give you a hand through a book podcast a message that's why the church is so important is so that a pastor is so that a minister who is walking in the very things you already have you just don't walk in them yet not to say I am better than you and not to give you legs you already have them but to give you a hand give you a revelation and information about what you already have and something kicks in a strength comes in a confidence comes in that God can do with me what he did with him with her and you begin to walk and you begin to leap as well almost every experience you would have with God will be preceded by someone who had that experience first and shared his hand with you sometimes a book that you'll read I even mentioned to you when I was inspired to give that funds it was because I was inspired by someone's life who gave his house away his cars and everything when I read that story Holy Spirit used that story to lend me a hand out of my situation I remember a moment when I've had tremendous touch by the Holy Spirit when I was listening to the tapes from from Argentinian revival for a whole week I would listen to seven tapes on Argentinian revival and I would have just these amazing encounters with the Holy Spirit right here in this sanctuary but you have to understand when you don't know how to walk you can just simply beg there you just don't miss your John and don't miss your Peter don't miss your mentor don't miss your pastor and don't miss someone who already is walking because you have the same thing that anybody else does and God places within them to reach out to you and lift you up but many times when John and Peter passes by we are not there to meet them somebody say man next point your biggest need is not to learn to beg your biggest need is to learn to walk but not whatever you are begging others for your biggest need is to learn to walk but not whatever you are begging others for did you know that this beggar at the gate named beautiful never once asked anyone for healing he only asked people for money he thought his biggest need is lack of resources his thought his biggest need is the fact he needs gold and he needs silver an apostle Peter came and at first it seems like Peter is disappointing him because he's saying what you are here for I won't give you what you are really asking for I don't have but you've been sitting here so long that you don't know really what you need what you really need and why you are really begging is because of something I can give you sometimes we are so focused on the symptoms of our problem instead of the roots of our problems that when God ignores the symptoms and goes to the root we get offended and we stop the whole process and say God stop that give me gold and silver and God says I want to give you something more I want to teach you to use what I already gave you your legs your biggest need this year is not to get a breakthrough in your finances your biggest need this year is not to get a breakthrough in your relationships and finally find someone you can date and marry that is not your biggest need that is gold and silver your biggest need is to learn how to walk in the Holy Spirit with the Holy Spirit life is endless breakthroughs when you have legs you can have gold anytime you want to when you have legs you can work when you have legs you can go to school when you have legs you can get married when you give legs you can have a family but if you get a little slice of gold and you still don't know how to operate what you got it's a matter of next month and you will be needing another piece of gold hoping somebody will be merciful enough to share with you your biggest need is not even a miracle but a relationship and let us recognize that today can somebody say amen you know I think last year actually a year and a month ago when me and my wife we took that decision and we recognized our need our need was spiritual our need was the fact that we felt like we didn't see salvation in our church and I did not see healings in my personal ministry when I prayed for people and it bothered me and that was my need and I remember when we gave a large sum of money there was our savings that we're supposed to give for our house that we're supposed to put a down payment to buy land our plan was that in four years we'll save forth forty thousand dollars we'll purchase a land and then we'll get a loan because we'll have the equity of the land we took the first year of ten thousand dollars and we gave it away and I remember when I came to the ministry that we gave this away in Ukraine and I presented to the pastor and I said I just wanted to bless your ministry but secretly I have a need I want to see salvation I want to see healings in our church and I remember he looked at me and he said that is not your main goal and I said that is my main need he said your biggest need is that you need to know the Holy Spirit I said well I already have and I know all that I need to know about the Holy Spirit you have the legs that they don't walk and you're asking for gold asking for salvation and for healings was like asking for silver and gold it's precious things but not the most important things the most important things was to learn to walk in the Holy Spirit I already had nobody gave me the Holy Spirit Jesus did that no book can give you the Holy Spirit no pastor can give you the Holy Spirit no church can give you the Holy Spirit only Jesus gives you the Holy Spirit but you need the book you need the pastor and you need the church to learn how to walk in the Holy Spirit Jesus gives you and I remember when that pastor prayed for me and he prayed for that that I will know the Holy Spirit more that I will begin to just at least get an introduction to who he is though I knew I knew him and and that journey began it was slowly but surely I started to just pay attention to my conscience started to just just really just watch over myself and as a result we started to see more salvation we started to see more healings the interesting part is this is the few months later there was land for sale close to church he can put up the picture of just a bare land you probably draw by this place this land was for sale and my father he found it on Greg's list and he said hey there's wonderful land and I was like man look so good close to church close to my wife's work the only problem is I ain't gotten any stash and that's what I'm like man I should have not gave that away so good place to invest in and praise God for the Holy Spirit and praise God for good dads and then my my dad he said I'll loan you the money and he loaned me the money I was able to scrape up some and stay still owed him fifteen thousand dollars a few months later we got the bank and all of this stuff and next thing that happened is that we build a house if you can put up the picture of the actual house so you can drive by and see that that's my cassa but the interesting part is that how a miraculous this happened because I gave that up so that I can get miracles turns out I didn't need miracles first I needed the Holy Spirit first miracles came as a result in my wildest dreams I would have never thought last year at this point of my life something like this could happen the craziest part is this when the house was completed I borrowed money from the bank was about 160 thousand dollars for building of this house this included taxes builders fees and all of the other things that will cover it if you do construction or you have any idea about remodeling or building something you know this any money you plan you're gonna spend you always have to add a little bit more on the top and so I kind of expected that that's what's going to happen because we will probably want something a little bit nice or something this something that but secretly I had a dream and this was the dream is when I finish building the house and I get the last penny from the bank at the same time I'll be able to save enough money from building the house that all of the debt I owe to my father we paid off it's a wild dream people said I'm crazy people said that cannot happen and that doesn't happen it happened yesterday on December 5th during my prayer practicing fourth dimension I wrote all to father left zero permits zero land but this was actually how much I owed him yesterday 5000 for permits 15 something was like well it where's this get that keeps his money don't worry it's his equity don't line up to borrow money from him and 21 total this was the actual and for a month I kept this in my prayer looking at it looking at it looking at it and anytime somebody would do something on the house and in the bid they said 4000 but they bring us the receipt for four and a half I would go back here and I said God I need you to help me you don't have to Lord but this would really really appreciate I remember when few months ago we gave the car and I was thinking I'm a fool I could have sold that and help me pay off my dad's debt but I said Holy Spirit 3000 is not going to help me to pay off that debt but it will help me to sow a seed so you can help me I remember when about three weeks ago I calculated and I came up that it's gonna be even zero and I started crying in my office because in my wildest dreams I never thought that could be possible where $15,000 could be just like that paid off and you can go into your house debt free what I've learned is this you don't need gold first you need to know how to walk in the Holy Spirit my desire for this year is not more breakthroughs my desire this year is Holy Spirit more of him and the last point point number six once you learn to walk you will leap and never go back to crawling somebody say amen once you learn to walk you will leap but never go back to crawling Holy Spirit is not something we are on little topic for a season you know how sometimes you talk about for something then you kind of move on walking is not something you did for a season and then you moved on even when you stopped learning to walk you didn't stop to walk and I made a decision I'm asking you to make yours you don't ever go back to a life where Holy Spirit is not in charge you don't ever go back to a life where Holy Spirit is not leading and filling and guiding you because that life is a life of crawling and once you taste and once you experience the Holy Spirit can use you encourage you touch you save people through you heal people through you and heal you personally it does something inside of you recognize this life is better than crawling this life is better than paring and this life is better than being bored in church this life is better than being just mediocre inconsistent this life is the life that Peter had John had other men and women in this world have heard a testimony that really inspired me this week it was actually last week my pastor shared how there was one young man an uncle who was at the home group and during a home group while they were praying for their friends and family like we do of the ones that we want to see saved he was praying for his relative it was his knees and he was praying for her salvation just for her life for her salvation breakthrough for many many many months already and in during that prayer he just received this just this desire and this picture and this goal that in 30 days she will get saved he wrote it down and she will get saved in 30 days well the only problem was that at that current place current time this wonderful young lady happened to be in the place where they teach the people about the way of life call it the jail right and so she was not in a place to be saved because she was completely in jail not only he wanted her to be saved in 30 days while she was in jail but he was convinced in 30 days she will move back to living with her family something she has not done in years he kept that as he kept believing and praying for that and trusting the Holy Spirit is going to make that happen and this man was convinced i'm not perfect for the Holy Spirit to even use that through me things actually on the outside only got worse and last miracle catch was the 30th day and this beautiful young lady not only she was here she gave her life to Jesus and moved back with her family does that mean that this makes all the stuff go away this just simply means this Holy Spirit is not something you should try you should learn and walk and never go back to crawling and only develop to leap to jump and to go further but never shrink back and somebody say amen i want us to pray for this year want us to pray for us that this will be the year where we walk where we run and we soar with the Holy Spirit and where we see the impossible the gold the silver the miracles the healings the breakthroughs in our finances the breakthroughs in our relationships we see breakthroughs in our home groups because of the Holy Spirit you're not going to be a lame christian no more somebody say amen everything you need you have inside of you it's called the Holy Spirit he shifted the world through Jesus he can shift the world through you or he can just be like the legs of the lame man do you get brought to the church these legs you carry what they're supposed to carry you

Have you ever noticed how people sometimes look like animals? Oh I don't mean act like them. Everybody's noticed that. I mean look like them. Perhaps an ant who somehow reminds you of a parrot and her husband who looks like a bulldog or an owl. If you ever notice things like that you'll understand me. You see I am a teapot. Oh not really it's just my type. I am teapotic by nature. Even look a little like one. And the people around me they all seem to fit into the same general classification. The cooking or kitchenware class you might say. There's my wife.   Time and time again I told you not to bring in dirt and yet you persist. Don't hang your overcoat on the whole tree. You know that's for guests? Put it in the closet where it belongs.  Yet you know sooner or later. My wife was a coffee pot. A huge ever simmering never empty coffee pot. Complete with spout. The spout was always spouting off. You can hear it working now in the background. A high you say. She must be quiet when she sleeps. Not so. A different kind of spouting off. But spouting nonetheless. See what I mean? Then there was the supervisor. He was in charge of things in the library where I am employed as a restorer of rare books. His name Ernest Edgewater. And I thought of him as a fish platter. A big broad chested outdoor type fish platter who likes to be right in the center of things. And in a position to catch all the gravy without doing too much work. Yes, Edgewater was definitely the fish platter type. Good morning, Top Leaf old sock. What's new with the ancients? The slap was Mr. Edgewater slapping me on the back and the thump was my forehead hitting the workbench. How's everything this morning, Top Leaf? Oh, just... Beautiful morning, eh? Shame we have to spend it in this stuffy old library. Better to be out basking on the beach.  You look kind of peeked. Sir, my vacation is a month overdue now. If you could... Fresh air is what you need. Here, let's open up some of these windows. Let a little air and sunshine in, eh, old sock? Eh, keep up the good work, Top Leaf, doing a fine job, fine job. Mr. Edgewater? Call me in my office if you need me. Always in the office, Top Leaf. All work and no play, but that's life. Miss Winders, if anyone calls me, I'll be at the links all morning. Just leave any messages at the clubhouse, eh? Good girl. Then there was Miss Winders, a sugar bowl by nature, as sweet a child as I've known. Shall I close these windows for you, Mr. Top Leaf? I'm sorry the wind blew all your pages out of order. Oh, that's very kind of you, Miss Winders. Thank you.  He gets on my nerves, too. Margaret Winders was in love with a fine young man in the refile section, Bill Regan. Bill seemed made for Margaret. Maybe that's why I thought of him as the cream-pitcher type, because he just seemed to belong with Margaret, the sugar bowl. Bill was a splendid young man. I'd like to punch that Edgewater right in the snoot. A splendid young man.  Problems which I, being teapotic by nature, could never have solved except for... But then I'm getting ahead of my story. The story actually began at home. I remember Ursula and I had just finished the evening meal. Going to drink another cup of tea? My dear, this is only my second cup. Well, I don't think you should have any more. But...  Besides, you'll never get to sleep. Tea keeps you awake. I believe it's supposed to be coffee, my dear. Well, be that as it may. I just can't bear looking at these dishes another minute. After all, I work and slave in this house all day long. The least, the very least you can do is to have a little respect for my wishes. Yes, dear. Besides, if you wash them before the food hardens, it won't take you nearly as long. I was listening to that fellow on the radio. That's his name, Sam Johnson. I could feel something inside of me ready to snap. Then I thought of all the books about nervous breakdowns I'd read. They all started with something snapping. Then I remember seeing that movie with that Brando fellow. When he cleared all the dishes off the table with his forearm. Just swept everything off into the floor. I'd yearn to do something like that. I was suddenly obsessed with the idea. I put my forearm down on the table and... Malcolm! What on earth are you doing? You put your coat sleeve right in the butter! Right in the butter! Oh, so I did.  I swear, Malcolm, I can't understand why I ever married you. I just can't understand it. It was then, right then, that I decided to do something. Oh, morning, Mr. Toplief. Don't see you in this part of the library very often. Hello, Bill. Just doing a little research. Research? A little problem at home, Bill. See what it says here. How to build strength and character. Be your own man. Self-help for the downtrodden and six easy lessons. Ever read any of these books, Bill? I've read most of them, Mr. Toplief. Sir, I don't want to seem too personal, but this problem at home is at the wife. You've met my wife. Yes, sir. Those books won't do a thing for you. Frankly, I think you might have better luck if you just kind of take the bit in your teeth. How's that? Just let her know who's boss. She already knows. Sir? I wish it were that easy. Bill, what we talked about just between us, all right? Sure, Mr. Toplief. If I do run into anything, I'll let you know. Thanks, Bill. Later that morning, I was sitting at my work table rebuilding a page from the medical prints of Pereri when Miss Winder stopped by. Mr. Toplief, Mr. Edgewater asked me to give you this. Another repair job? Yes, sir. Hmm, that looks interesting. This one I'm working on? Fine old prints, over 300 years old. It's interesting how foggy those early medical men were about the human body. Now, this fellow, Pereri, even put the heart on the wrong side. Did he? One of these prints, he left out the spine. Maybe he used a model who didn't have one. Oh, how could that be, Miss Winder? Everybody. Then why hasn't Bill proposed? Oh, I see what you mean. Sometimes he's so close, I just know the next thing he's going to say is... Well, he just won't do it. Well, maybe he thinks he isn't making enough to settle down. Maybe a raise and pay. No, he'd never get it from Mr. Edgewater. Even if he'd ask. He's waiting for a raise. I might as well give up. Hmm. Oh, well, I shouldn't worry you with my troubles. You've got problems of your own. I certainly have troubles of my own, all right. This is a strange one. This book. Oh, the one you just brought in? Let's see. Sudden cures and medicaments for frightful ills and mixtures for the correctment of unseemly conditions. What a strange title. What do you suppose it is? Oh, a book of ancient prescriptions, most likely. You know how to make warts vanish. Take a pinch of powdered dragons, horns mixed with water from a hollow log. Things like that. Worthless but interesting. I'll get to it presently. I didn't think much about the manuscript at first, but something kept popping back into my mind. It was that mixtures for the correctment of unseemly conditions. I picked up the papers and began thumbing through them. Then I saw a common case of being the mastery of a shrewish wife. This woeful disconsert is most often caused by man, for the man may himself bear fall for not assuming mastery in his own house. That's true enough. The user should be cautious for this remedy is potent and might give more confidence and is helpful. Let's see what this recipe calls for. Hmm. The white of two eggs. Easy to get. Oil of clove. Drugstore'd have that. Nutmeg. Hmm. See what else it says. I can get all these things. Now what do the recipes instructions say? Shake well and mix equal parts with the newly popular and health-giving culture made by the Bulgarians. Why, that's just plain yogurt. Yogurt. I believe I'll take a jar home this evening. Yes. Why not this very night? Yes, dear. Don't leave your rubbers in the hall now. I didn't wear them, dear. Well, don't leave them in the hall anyway. Yes, dear. What have you got in that paper sack? Oh, just a few items from the store, my dear. I've been feeling a little, little unsettled lately. I got some things to sort of correct the condition. Now I hope you're not running to the doctor with every little ill. Oh, no, dear. If you knew how I skimped and saved to make ends meet, you wouldn't be running to the doctor with every minor little complaint. But, my dear, I have... Oh, um... Hello? Oh, yes. Just a moment, dear. Like the fire in the upper, Malcolm. The meatloaf is already inside. Just a moment, Agnes, dear. Well? Oh, yes, dear. Agnes? Yes! I'd love to hear. But wait till I tell you the latest about Lord and Al. I have a great many faults, but I do pride myself on saving time. I think I used my time that evening to great advantage. I went into the kitchen, lined up all my ingredients on the drain board, got out the mixing bowl. And just to be on the safe side, I lit the oven to heat up the meatloaf. After that, I began mixing my ingredients with great care following the instruction scribbles. Ah, I'll stir the yogurt. There, that ought to do it. Keep spouting, Ursula. Yack, yack, yack. Let me see. Heating a copper pot. A copper pot? I haven't got a copper... Ah, copper bottom cooking ware. That ought to do it. Keep talking just a little longer, Ursula. Just a little longer. I washed it, come to a simmering point. Then I turned out the flame and set the mixture on the back of the stove to cool. I was really too excited to eat much dinner. I was too excited to do anything, but checked things over in my mind. Had I added the nutmeg at the right time? Had the eggs been fresh enough? Would copper bottom cooking ware work as well as the copper pot? Will the whole thing work? What did you say? Huh? Oh, nothing, my dear. Well, as I was saying, I've let this meatloaf burn the only thing you had to watch.   Well, this should be quite different, my dear. I believe it's cooled enough now. I don't know why you can't get along with vitamins. I'm afraid my hand was shaking a little as I filled my cup from the copper bottom saucepan. I spilled just a little in the saucer that I'd made enough. Much more than enough. I was shaking like a leaf as I raised the cup to my lips and drank. Drinking your concoction, you know how I feel about looking at dirty dishes who might just as well clear the table. Clear the table. Did you say clear the table? Malcolm, what's come over you? I'll clear the table, all right. Broken all my dishes. Want me to clear the mantle, too? No, no, no, no, no. Maybe the stove, gas connections and all. No, Malcolm, is this all? Don't you raise your voice to me. Oh, I think I'm going to faint. Fine. I was thinking of cleaning up the floor anyway. You must be out of your mind. Not a bit, my dear. We're just going to make some changes around here. Malcolm, you're... No more Malcolm. It's Mal. Mal, get that M-E-L. Mal, say it once. No crying in this house. None. You will be happy. Yes, ma'am. Now, when I'm running things, understand? I wear the pants. I keep the pay envelope. There are any orders I give them. You do the shopping. You do the cooking. The dish washing. The house cleaning. From here on out, I'm the master of this house. Understand? Yes, Mal. What's that? Mal, give me my slippers. Yes, Mal. But Mal, you're wearing your slippers. Don't argue with me when I speak jump. Will you jump? More coffee. Yes, dear. Did I make it strong enough for you? No. I use two tablespoons to a cup. Tomorrow, use three. More eggs, dear. Six was enough. I'll finish packing by lunch. Yes, dear. Rare six sandwiches, just as you asked. The thermos? I put what was left of your blood-builder in it. Just as you asked. I better go downtown and buy some dishes today. Replace the ones I broke last night. Yes, dear. Then catch a bus and meet me at the library at six. I'm going to hit Edgewater for a raise today. And tonight, we're going to celebrate getting it. Yes, dear. Anything you say. Well, see you. But, dear. Oh, I forgot to tell you, from now on, I'll be driving the car to work every day. But now, you don't know how to drive a car. Now, I will admit the potion did give me a wonderful feeling of self-confidence, and that the instructions had caution against overconfidence. But I didn't feel my judgment had been distorted. True, I hadn't driven a car before, but I had seen others drive, and some men learned from merely observing others. Fortunately, I am one of those men. Starting the car and backing it out of the garage was a simple matter, surprising how simple it really was. Then when I was in the middle of Elm Street, I stopped, set the crankshaft and forward, and leisurely proceeded through the gears. Second to low. To high. Just though I'd been doing it all my life. Motor down-elm, enjoying the early morning sun and the sounds of other happy drivers going to work. I had pretty well settled things at home, so while I motored along, I gave some serious thought to Bill and Margaret. Had an idea I could do something for them. Actually, I had a couple of plans in mind. One of them centered around what I had in my thermos bottle. There was only one parking place left in the library, parking lot. There was a small one right next to Edgewater's car. I slowly brought my machine to a stop, then setting the parking brake, because I was going to park. I put the gear shank in reverse, and backed into the spot next to Edgewater's auto. Then, of course, the next stop was calling an old fish platter himself. Morning fish platter, you're good for nothing, old rogue.  How's everything this morning? The slap was me slapping Edgewater on the back, and the thump was Edgewater's forehead hitting the desk. Who's that top leaf? Well, careful, old man. Not as young as I used to be. Beautiful morning, eh?  Well, yes, as a matter of fact, it is. What have we been reading here? New book? How to improve your golf game? Fine. Don't mind if I borrow. Do you Edgeplatter? Water. Edge. How about your clubs? They pretty good? Good set, Fishwater? Edgewater? Yes, they're pretty good clubs. Fine, I'll borrow them, too. We're here now, Top Leaf. The Board of Examiners will be coming through in about a week. Board of Examiners? Where'd you hear that? How'd you know? I called them. I thought it was about time we did some straightening up around here. Let me get this straight. You, Malcolm Top Leaf, you called the Board of Examiners? Why not? I'm ahead with my work.  B-b-b-but Top Leaf! You're the only one behind, and you wouldn't be in a little time in the office, Fishplatter. I am stabbed in the back. How could you do this to me, Top Leaf? Better get things organized, my boy.  Might be able to get you out of this. Thanks for the use of the club. Uh, Top Leaf, don't... don't let anything happen to the putter. Right. I called your wife for you, Mr. Mal. Thanks, Maggie. Yes, sir? Miss Winters, will you call the country club and tell them Mr. Fishplatter... I mean, Edgewater won't be there today? Yes, sir. Thank you, Miss Winters. What do you suppose is the matter with Mr. Edgewater? Nothing we can't fix easily enough. Maggie, do you really want to marry Bill? I mean, really? Oh, Mr. Top Leaf, more than just about anything. Think he wants to marry you? I think he does, but... Call him. Tell him to meet me in the locker room. Oh, now... Maggie. Yes, Mal? I told Bill everything that had happened about how, quite by accident, I'd found the strange recipe in about what it had done for me. Oh, now, just a minute, Mr. Top Leaf. Mal. Uh, Mal then. Things like this just don't happen. Well, here's the proof. In that thermos bottle? What have you got to lose? Let me ask you one thing. Shoot, do you want to marry Margaret? Oh, sure. What man in his right mind wouldn't want to marry Margaret. Then why haven't you asked her? Are you kidding, Mr. Top? Mal, a good-looking gal like that wouldn't marry a lug like me. Oh, sure, we've been out a couple of times, but she only went for laughs.  No, I'd say you were nuts. But even if you were to... I couldn't even think about getting married in my salary. See what I mean? What have you got to lose? All right, Mal, open your thermos. Before I do, promise me you'll treat her right. Yeah, all right. You're going to have me believing there's something to this. And you won't punch Edgewater in the nose. Yeah, sure, I won't punch him in the nose. All right, I think half a cup should be enough for you. Here you are. It smells pretty bad. Well, it's time to hatch. The effect on Bill was immediate. He ran right out of the locker room. Didn't even open the door first. I never heard what he said to Margaret Winters. Just didn't get there quickly enough, but judging from the look on her face, the results were very satisfactory. I told him about my idea. Then we called on Edgewater and I outlined the plan to him. May I ask you a question? Shoot, Fishwater. Isn't it Edgewater, dear? Oh, that's right, you beautiful thing you. What was your question, Edgeplatter? I just want to get the whole thing straight. Now, you people are offering to help me get my work organized, so I'll be able to get it done in time for the Board of Examiners. That's about it. Wouldn't you say that's about it, gorgeous? That's substantially correct. And all I have to do is increase your paychecks so you'll be getting what you're worth. That's right. And then you'll give me my clubs back. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and over the weekends if you keep up with your work. All right, Top Leaf, you've got a deal. Well, that's about it. The story of how the change began for the wife and me, for Margaret and Bill, and for Edgewater. Actually, it worked out pretty well. Even Edgewater seems happier now that he's leading a useful life. I don't even think of him as a fishplatter anymore. He sort of turned into the serving tray type. And Mrs. Top Leaf? I don't think of her as a coffee pot anymore, either. She turned out to be a dutiful and loving wife. Fine woman. But I'm still teapotting by nature. Not the same as before, though. I'm a different kind of a teapot now. I think of myself as a teapot with a high muzzle velocity. That was quite a remarkable recipe. Oh, incidentally, I restored the book. It's on the library shelves now if you were thinking of checking it out. It's filed under... Now, how did I file that book? Was it under folklore or history? Or did I put it under chemistry? Then it might be filed under... Oh, well, if you really want it, just browse around a little. You'll find it. This is Mary Livingston again. Did you ever notice how frequently in everyday conversation you hear familiar little phrases and adages? They are used and reused so often that we come to think of them as a single idea rather than as a group of words. One such adage, which we all have heard at one time or another, is charity begins at home. Let's look at this group of words a little more closely. For instance, the first word, charity. What does this word mean? Well, the most common, generally accepted interpretation would be generosity. But that's not quite correct. Charity comes from the Latin, caritas, which means love. Generosity is but one byproduct of love. So substituting the word love for charity, we have love begins at home. Now take the word home. A home is a house occupied by a family. Therefore, home and family are very closely related. So now our adage becomes, love begins in the family. Love is the tie that holds the family closely united. And this love stems from family prayer, for prayer is the voice of love. And the prayer that rests in the heart and on the lips of the family is most pleasing to God. And he will answer these prayers by extending his blessings of love and of harmony and of freedom from discord. So you see, the family that prays together stays together. More things are up by prayer than this world dreams of. music composed and conducted by Harry Zimmerman and was directed and transcribed for Family Theatre by John T. Kelly.

I only get him in one half. That's all good But just to be safe.  I'll be guys can see it two One two three So the right side is gonna be for the second half. You had a 500-foot home run right now Jesus. Well, where are they showing that game? I feel like they're always showing the Yankees games every day Yay, the Red Sox 4 to run 14 to 1 now on Amazon what I think I'm gonna have to start getting a smart TV in this room because we only have a basic TV With direct TV. We're gonna need a smart TV in here. Oh, here it is Oh Dude, it went almost out of the ballpark. All right. We go guys.  I should say you got Miles Gaskin a little retro series TV. Oh Whoa gold. I love gold 10 of 10 half ray or month It's our first gold of the day and a little color match as well for the Pittsburgh Steelers When a Michael Gucci, there you go Elijah Vera Tucker That's gonna be protecting Zach Wilson and a Stefan digs Black Pandora mythical to 25 I did my home tallo Frank Clark Miles Gaskin Pink Velocity to 79 Jaylen Waddle the rookies Chris Evans hollow our first box in the books Red Favre red hot rookies Trevor Lawrence Elijah Mitchell mad if that was a trail adds that'd be nuts But one of one gold vinyl autograph. He's a great running back to though 49ers hand what a break nice to start off. We're gonna get one on one on every case She called easy to 125 Kyler Murray to 35 and a mantra St. Brown Lamar Jackson get rookie Kings Velocity Cadarius Tony Daryl Barnett a mere Smith Morissetti to 299 Daniel Hunter Kyle Pitts Andre Stevenson hollow and Darius Leonard. I mean honestly, I don't really most breakers, you know that do group break especially like this stuff We don't really stop for the base. We only stop for the number cards and autographs.  I Unfortunately can't just take, you know, 10 minutes a box Because then we'll be breaking this for like a whole hour. I stopped for all the more notable hits But I don't think I feel like I need to like slow it down for the base cards at least But everybody likes their own way of breaking. I like it both Kobe because I I think I think IG is a lot more like chill in the sense You know, I'm just doing box-by-box You know kind of like that Case breaking side is fun though because you get to do a whole case at a time or half case at a time You know, so I kind of like that. I slip both Because I get to I get a piece of both, you know But when it comes to like Instagram to YouTube, I mean the chat is just a little bit more more wild on IG Definitely not PG, you know see Barbie. Yeah, I remember that dude that that was fun times Justin Herbert That was fun times Herbert to 50 and My house Lamar Jackson and a Najee Harris to 99. Whoa, Najee. Why you signed more to the right? We have a Darius Leonard Jibril Cox and the good thing too guys that I actually do love you to have a lot of very good features, but If you ever feel like one of us or including myself is going too fast for your liking You can always slow us down It's always right there in the settings where the you know quality of the Videos that you can slow us down However slow you guys want, you know And the good thing is that all these videos to record so you can always go back to it But I really just kind of get to the numbered cards autographs Anything significant show for a couple seconds and then move on Mack Jones with a a Sanchez salmon. I saw the color match Purple stars. Nice. I know I didn't we didn't get any first of the line yet I'm sure we will though, but I'd like to see what that looks like I know man. It was a while time Chester rat We got a Tyler lock it to 199 Big Ben Rothesberger to 299 Travis ETN and a Joe Montania mythical has been so many QB autos. That's good, right? I Feel like first off the line sometimes is really rough. So it's been pretty good. That's good digs Nice you got two field autographs Well, that's right. You mentioned it earlier, right? One of them was live and the other ones are redemptions or something like that I like fields coming out of college. I thought he was a really solid quarterback, but obviously Chicago is Not where it needs to be just yet. So might take him a little bit But I think Trey Lance, you know, I mean I like Zach Wilson, too I think when he did play he played pretty well But Trey Lance has the I think the best opportunity out of this quarterback class. He has a really good team around him Just kind of needs to You know, just put it all together, right? But yeah, he definitely has the best team around them But I think Zach Wilson got a good year look too. I mean for the hobby purposes. I hope they all do well But I think especially at those quarterbacks that didn't play much or didn't do too well there for a year Hopefully they kind of have a bounce back here Good good. Yeah, no, I would like to see you feel to do good. All right. Here we go next one Hits with a breath of Ray He better Chad for people because honestly, he's pretty much nearing the end of his career as a starter He's got in so many chances, so We'll hope so The 25 inch young retro series and a Kyle trash the rookies to 99 autograph Bucking ears Anthony Phillips about Javonte Williams global the Neil Hunter and Tara's Marshall, Jr.. Vaughan Miller and a downtown Mac Jones. Damn very nice Patriots Sean Matt, I mean, no, I don't I mean he can do well throughout the season as long as he loses to the eagle down there I don't care, but I just I don't know man. It's just that guy's had so many chances There we go Bo Jackson Radis ish Smith Or she Smith sorry. Oh Davis Mills is not in the downtown set and A tealaw the rookies. What a box man. This would have been a great personal box Jesus That it's five of 15 Sean Matt, I think also bought the Jaguars. Jeez.  I'm just surprised that I mean I've only done obviously my second case going into it But I'm just surprised we haven't seen too much that Wilson. Is he is he much harder to hit or did we just get stuck with? with Trevor Lawrence Mac Jones cases, you know, at least the ones that we've pulled up so far depending you just get word About how popular he just got so They're just like, yeah, let's just hold them back but Obviously, I can say we don't really know what's in these cases until we open them You see zero lands, but you see him in fields all over. That's weird Well, I'm so hopeful man. Obviously, you know The thing is that we still have the second half I mean, we've gotten some good inserts, right? Obviously, but Quarterback wise, it's just been Kyle Trask, right? Everything else Elijah Mitchell was a nice one there But again, no real quarterback auto besides that Indian book. So It's still that good opportunity now all it takes is one to Turn it around, you know pulled a lot of breath far numbered cars out the first three breaks No, fat Nico Collins for the Houston Texans Benjamin with that one be dogs Matt Ryan to 299 Damian Harris and Jalen Hertz my house.  All right last one here folks. So again after this I have a little Mackie collegiate that a pack filler and then I do have a couple more orders that came in Don't know if anything else has been sold out yet. No, it doesn't look like it But we're down to like two left and number four. So I'm pretty sure By the time we catch them to the list, I'm sure we might be able to sell that out little Najee Harris Steelers gonna make a goot you to 179 Deontay Johnson got Damian Harris Najee legendary logos Redemption Kyle Trask line green number to 35 Bucks by Anthony T-Law with a JK Dobbins All right, here we go guys. Let's check that one out and it looks like we're down to just one left guys The bangles are left in the second half Which I feel like I haven't really got too much Jamar Chase Raider rookie RPS autographs got number 211 Kyle pits for the Falcons Which shouldn't shock me It's a very nice Kyle pits there that's going to Riley Elijah Moore's a redemption to a lot of redemptions in Alrighty guys were there you go. That was the first half, you know, not it's not a bad first half We did get some nice stuff We did get one downtown on this side Got a nice teal out of 15 Kyle Traz Najee Harris auto rookie Kings there a monitor a one-on-one gold vinyl autograph of Elijah Mitchell to gold path for your month Trevor Lawrence Numbered card and a EM book so I'm still expecting some big Ricky quarterback Autographs in the second half so second half is done on one left bangles left last spot mojo Jaspies case breaks calm


Classroom management you definitely need to try. Classroom management can be referred to as the wide variety of skills and techniques that teaches us to keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive, on task, and academically productive during a class. The strategies and the instructional technique used by the teacher to manage student behavior and activities related to learning could also be termed as classroom management. To keep the students organized, orderly, focused, and attentive, the teacher must create a set of expectations that will be used in the classroom environment. It includes routines rules and consequences. In managing the classroom, the teacher must develop some management techniques that will support the teacher's expectations. Managing techniques To be prepared, the teacher must be prepared each time that he or she walks into the class. Enabling and attractive, the room must be enabled for the students to access some resources without teacher's support. It should have a waoo factor. Something that will make the students want to be part of the class. Set classroom rules, students must be aware of the boundaries and expectation of the room by forming classroom rules. There must be a constant reminder of these rules and the enforcement of the consequences. Be fair, the teacher must ensure fairness when dealing with issues. What applies to one must apply to all. The teacher must not be seen to be one-sided when decisions are been made. Record keeping, teacher must find a way of keeping good students' record to motivate them to be better and to also encourage another student to emulate them. Parent-teacher partnership, teacher must make sure that parents know what is going on, how often he is in trouble, and what trouble it was. Creating a bond with the parent makes them have confidence in the teacher. Use proximity to limit negative actions, when at all possible, place the student nearest to you or stay within close proximity to him. Use the best time to discipline, you can't win when you try to call out a student in front of his or her friends. Private talk session will be more appropriate. Try to find out what really happens, empathize with the student. The teacher should find out what is really going on. You can even get someone to talk to the student. Build on common ground, teacher can find a way to relate to the student on common ground, it could be in sport, band, or sibling. The teacher can build on it and check if the root of the issue can be located. Never give up, no matter the behavior. The teacher should never give up on trying to reach the student. Do you want to teach English abroad? In conclusion, in order to teach effectively, we need classroom management skills. It has been observed that teachers who applied strong, consistency management and utilize organizational skills have classrooms that experience fewer discipline problems. If continuous minor problems are not addressed properly they will eventually turn into bigger, harder to control issues.
