Lori… a tribute

Posted: August 20, 2008 in Family

It’s funny how Lori can do or say something that ends up within the pages of my blog.  Even what you are reading now is the result of a conversation we had just an hour ago. As far as blogs written, my personal favorite is Spilled Coffee.  Lori doesn’t seem to appreciate the fine things God tends to [...]

Just how important is it?

Posted: August 19, 2008 in Prayer

You know what I’m talking about… That thing - it stays on your mind all of the time. Just how important is it?  Really? Have you committed it to the Lord? If it stays on your mind so much I am sure you have… Or have you?  Really? This thing must be important!  Really it must… Or it wouldn’t [...]

I discovered that David Byrne and Brian Eno have worked together to make “Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.”  Follow the link to hear the new album.  There is a tour to accompany the new album. The song below is called “Strange Overtones”

Difficulties and trials… don’t you get tired of them?  I do.  I have learned through my many trials that there is much more I need to learn.  And that there is much more to share with other people. The book of James begins with a talk on trials: Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests [...]

…the world is just so different from you. On a few occasions, I have stated, “I seem to be in a time of transition.”  One responded with, “Your life seems to be one of transition.”  In so many ways that’s true. I’ve thought about what I said… I’ve thought about a few conversations I have been [...]

I’ve got a headache

Posted: August 15, 2008 in Random Thoughts

What a week this has been.  I have had a headache for way over a week now. I’m thinking sinus… blood pressure messing up again.  But the blood pressure is still under control so it’s not that… not sure what’s behind this nasty feeling in my head.   Finally on Wednesday of this week it got to the [...]

Zuigia in the Land Down Under

Posted: August 14, 2008 in Faith, Missions, Music, Prayer

Look up “zuigia” in the dictionary. I didn’t find it either. Clint Staj came up with the word Zuigia for a song before it became a band name.  Zuigia is a place where nobody is judged by appearances and everyone can experience God’s love and grace… sounds just like heaven. (But there’s already a song [...]

McCain and Obama on faith and values

Posted: August 13, 2008 in Politics

On Saturday, August 16, Rick Warren will be hosting a forum where McCain and Obama will have the opportunity to speak on “faith and values”.

Have you ever had a secret?   If so, who did you tell it to? My kids always want me to tell them a secret… if it’s a birthday or Christmas time they want to know what brother or sister is getting… and they always say, “I can keep a secret!” Who do you tell your [...]

Depending on God’s love

Posted: August 13, 2008 in Psalms

18-19 Watch this: God’s eye is on those who respect him,       the ones who are looking for his love.    He’s ready to come to their rescue in bad times;       in lean times he keeps body and soul together.  20-22 We’re depending on God;       he’s everything we need.    What’s more, our hearts brim with joy       since [...]
