One of my all time favorite TV shows was and is News Radio. Unfortunately, once Phil Hartman was killed, it went down hill. A quote I got from the show which I love is this:
Dave: Bill, have you ever heard, "if life gives you lemons make lemonade"?
Bill: Well let me ask you this Dave- Have you ever heard, "if life gives you lemons throw them back in the face of the guy who gave you the lemons, because you asked for oranges in the first place"?
I give guitar lessons to a guy in my church who reminded me to make lemonade. He is an amazing testimony of God's healing and working in and through people and showing others the Power that God holds. This guy has a past that many people cringe upon hearing: just the trials that he has gone through and continues to go through and where he is today is so powerful to me. Sometimes I feel guilty taking this guys money for lessons, because I feel like I get more out of it than he does. He's there to learn basic chord progressions and shapes, but while he feels that he is learning, he's the one who is actually teaching.
I learn things from him about life and coping with what God gives you in it. This is a guy who has made a lot of lemonade, and continues to make lemonade. It's funny how ministry changes from teaching and shepherding to listening and learning in a matter of seconds.

In my CD player: Michael Jackson's Thriller. Though it's not looking too good for him in the courts, you can always count on some of the best production on any of MJ's albums.
