Blog Update

Posted: January 20, 2009 in Christian Music, Even Adam, Music, Worship

I’ve added a new category to my blogroll.  “Worship” is the new cateory.  I’ve added a new link there I think you may like… especially if you love to worship God.  Checkout WorshipCity.  I’ve also moved Even Adam to Worship as well… Check back for more updates to this category soon…

It’s somewhere north of here! There are a few songs I really like to listen to when I drive… especially when I am going through a contemplative season.  It’s that season again.  “Somewhere North” by Derek Webb is one of those songs.  It’s a muggy night in Houston And all the intersections are like full service stations [...]

At times I’m finding it difficult to “just read” through the Bible. (Don’t be dismayed I’m ahead of schedule none-the-less with my reading plan). On Friday, I read 4 verses in Chapter 5 of Romans and BAM… I just have to stop and reflect on what is being said. God has such a wonderful way [...]

I received this photo in an email today.  It was taken by Jessica Stephenson and entitled, “Sunlight Dancing on Water.”  As I have looked at this photo I’ve thought about how the rays of the sun and the water move in unison together… as if dancing together. God desires to move with each of us in [...]

Prayer… how serious are we with our prayer lives? Do we pray just enough to get us through the day?  To get our own needs met?  Just how serious are we about prayer?  Read Matthew 26:31-46.  Jesus was pretty serious… I am hooked on 24!  I am thrilled that Jack is back!!  I just can’t [...]

I came across this passage this last year.  Lori  saw that I underlined it in my Bible while she was reading tonight and brought it back to my attention. “If you’ll hold on to me for dear life,” says God,       ”I’ll get you out of any trouble.    I’ll give you the best of care       if [...]

I recall sitting in my bedroom on Walnut Dr.  It was summer.  I think I was 19 years old. I knew what God was wanting to do with me at the time.  I knew what He was calling me to do.  I knew what He was preparing.  But I had this fear of stepping out [...]

I’m following YouVersion.com reading plan as I read through the Bible.  I’m loving it.  I am on track to read the Bible through two times this year.  If you haven’t noticed I like to use The Message by Eugene Peterson. Today I was reading in Matthew 11.  Checkout the words of Jesus here in Matthew 11:28-30.  [...]

I can’t state it any better than Oswald Chambers.  My words I have tried to put together are worthless to go with this quote.  So, I’ll just let Chambers do the talking.  There are times when you can’t understand why you cannot do what you want to do. When God brings a time of waiting, [...]
