Rom 8:26-27 Mt 13:24-43 or 13:24-30

We must polish the Polish furniture.
He could lead if he would get the lead out.

When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
I did not object to the object.

After a number of injections my jaw got number.

2. The need for a sense of community and deeper relationships
3. The need to be appreciated and loved

Then there is a two-letter word that perhaps has
more meaning than any other two-letter word, and that is the word
"UP".
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky
or at the top of the list, but when we waken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we
speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the
secretary to write UP a report? We call
UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and
clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old
car. At other times the little word has
real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an
appetite, and think UP excuses. To be
dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP is confusing:
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the
morning but we close it UP at night. We
seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To
be knowledgeable of the proper uses of UP, look UP the word in the dictionary.
In a desk size dictionary, takes UP almost 1/4th the page and definitions add
UP to about thirty. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP
is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may
wind UP with a hundred or more.
