One Thing I Do To Connect With God

What is one thing you do to connect with God? I like to pray the Lord's prayer everyday, sometimes several times a day. It takes me a few seconds sometimes, few minutes other times, and sometimes I can pray that prayer for an hour.

What is one thing that you do that is helpful for you and you believe it would be helpful for others to do?

Jesus' Q Rating

Q rating
a figure, based on opinion polls, intended to reflect how relatively popular and recognizable a given TV performer is with audiences.

In January 2010, The Q Scores Company took a poll of the general population and found that 24 percent of people thought of Lebron James in a positive light, compared to a 22 percent negative opinion. The average sports personality has a 15 percent positive score and a 24 percent negative score.But since “The Decision” show on July 8, things have gone seriously downhill for the NBA star.

LeBron’s Q Score today?

Now only 14 percent of the general population see him as a positive figure, a 41.6 percent drop, while 39 percent view him in a negative light, a 77 percent decline.
In fact, LeBron is now the sixth most disliked sports personality, according to The Q Score Company

I thought about this and wondered what Jesus' Q score would be.

Does many miracles in Capernaum- 16%
Preaches an offensive sermon in Nazareth- 12%
Heals the blind- 18%
Calls Peter, Satan- 13%
Raises Lazarus from the dead- 19%
Rides into Jerusalem and people want to crown him king- 30%
Is arrested by Rome and the crowd yells crucify him- 2%
Hung on a Roman cross- 0%

When Jesus' rating was the lowest that's when he saved the world.

Too Bad Lebron is no Jesus, although he too can follow Jesus. But be careful, if you really follow Jesus your Q rating will really drop.
