Some of those go back to the 70s! All In The Family was so much more artistic than some of the junk served up to us today.

OMG! You just took me back quite a few years.

I remember watching all of those. I used to pin myself to the TV when Family Ties came on because I was so in love with Michael J Fox.

I think I only share 2 of your 13, unless you mean Room 227? The one about a high school? If so, then it's 3.

It always amazes me the things people come up with for Thursday 13.

My TT is here:

Quench Your Thirst Thursday ~ Just As I Am

There is something incredibly powerful about being known completely and still being fully loved. In a world that often places value on appearance, perfection, and performance, the lyrics to "Just As I Am"  reminds us that God sees us in all our imperfections and still opens His arms wide with grace. It's about a love that sees everything and still invites you in, into His presence and His Family. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us,  in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) "Just as I am, with all my imperfections, You draw me close and offer strength in weakness." The Lord tells Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9,  “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” God isn’t waiting for us to have it all together. He meets us in the middle of our mess, not with shame, but with grace, mercy, and compassion.  God's power is not diminished or limited by our weaknesses. When we recognize our limitati...

Quench Your Thirst Thursday ~ "Nothing Else"

There are moments in life when everything feels cluttered, our schedules, our thoughts, our hearts. We find ourselves chasing after things: success, validation, dreams, etc. Until we realize, we have drifted far away from the very One our soul truly desires.  Cody Carnes' song “Nothing Else”  is about the importance of prioritizing a relationship with God above all else, even above the blessings and gifts He provides. It emphasizes a shift in focus from seeking the blessings from the hands of God to pursuing His heart (His presence). Also, it encourages Christians to return to a place of genuine, heart-centered worship and to recognize that God's love and presence are the ultimate blessings. “I’m caught up in Your presence, I just want to sit here at Your feet...” This opening line reflects the spirit of Luke 10:39-42 (NKJV) , where Mary chooses to sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to His word. When Martha complains, Jesus lovingly responds: “Mary has chosen that good part,...

Quench Your Thirst Thursday ~ My Life, My Love, My All

Kirk Franklin’s powerful worship song  "My Life, My Love, My All," expresses the heart’s deepest cry for Jesus.  It’s a declaration of complete devotion. “My hands were made to worship You;  My heart, my King, it beats for You;  Oh Lamb so true, I surrender to You;  My life (I give You), my love (I give You), my all” These opening lines immediately bring to mind Romans 12:1 (NKJV) : “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies  of God,  that you present your bodies a living sacrifice,  holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” Our hands, which are symbols of our actions and work, were made for worship. Our hearts, the wellspring of our emotions and desires, beat not for self-glory, but for the King of kings, the Lord of lords. The mention of "Lamb so true" is a reminder of John 1:29 , where John the Baptist proclaims: “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” Jesus, the spotless Lamb, gave His life,...
