| June 18, 2007 - Monday | What Suzie's been praying for... Oh the joys of Children Church.. the ability to be a part of the formative lives of the spiritual upbringing of our kids. Ahh.. oohhh.. the joy. No seriously, I know some read but I'm being totally sincere. I love it. They can get so into some things, and some things they'll tell you are just dumb. And the prayer requests are so sincere and concerned. There is one girl in our group who you never know what she's gonna say Last Sunday, she said the best thing, ever. During the prayer requests, she said,
"I've been praying for power, lately". Is that not the most awesomest thing ever? I'm assuming she meant like Physical strength, or the ability to fly. 'Cause that would make the most sense.

| June 19, 2007 - Tuesday | Not much Last night, I had a dream about me learning Hebrew. I was looking at home made flashcards and I was reading and translating sentences...
This is where my real life invades my sleeplife. I am doing this all the time, it would seem, and it has now crept into my sleep. There is still 6 more weeks of Hebrew left... that would mean 18 more classes. If this trend continues, who knows what will happen to my body. All these subconscience things may start ooozing out.

| June 14, 2007 - Thursday | June Bugs So, I saw the first of what will soon become an invasion of those little beetles called "june bugs". I'm not looking forward to it. Yeha, i know, God loves them and He made them for a reason... Please Lord, reveal to me the reason so I can feel bad as I peel them away from eating my roses... 9:00 AM - 3 Comments - 0 Kudos - Add Comment - Edit - Remove | |

| June 11, 2007 - Monday | runnin over dead rabbits I was running this morning when I came upon that familiar summer smell of decomposing road kill. The rabbit had been squashed over and over again, and was now a baggy mess of furm flesh, meat and bones. Fly fodder. This is just one more reason I need new shoes... I feel that my old shoes are holding me back and not letting me run away from such things as fast. They're also greatly hindering my ability to fly. But tomorrow looks promising, and new shoes.. ah such a feeling. Like new socks, underwear, t-shirts.. can anything match?  | Currently reading :

| June 8, 2007 - Friday | People wanna see our house What a weird thing. People, strarngers, are going to be looking at our house today and may possibly be so moved to buy it. I think though, how much of them will actually be judging who we are in that house and how we kept it. Would we swing some votes by putting out the scary monkey lamp? Heather does not think so, its now in my sister's basement until we move. Would it help if we had moved the couch 2in to the left? Will they look at all my t-shirts/shoes and think what a loser? Or will they look at my Vans and go, "that's it. This house is ours and we will pay whatever price we have to!"

| June 6, 2007 - Wednesday | selling and buying, wishing and praying so, our house is now on the market. SO much has happened so fat that it seems weird and surreal. Not even a month ago we had no thoughts of moving. And now, we have a house in the process of buying, and a house on the market. If I had a million more dollars, I'd feel like a tycoon.
I'm very excited about the move. The hosue we're moving into is great. It's in my old neighborhood, and its close to lots of things. But I am going to miss this house, a lot. And my neighbors are great... who else can I talk Cricket, or Fifa with? God has blessed us so far with so much, i can help but feel lacking in praise and thanks.

Harry is a horcrux, and is the only one remaining, and in order for Voldemort to die, Harry has to die. They're reading the prophecy all wrong, and Dumbledore knew it.

| May 22, 2007 - Tuesday | Obedience "Obedience is the irrepressible public relations project of those who have tasted and seen that the Lord is good (Matt 5L16)".
~John Piper What better way to display my faith than to actually walk what I believe? A man who gives up his convictions at the greatest onset of ease or discomfort is not a worthy of the calling he has been given. Something is lost; perhaps the man's worth. The weight of glory can be clearly seen in one's obedience. Others can see such value and deem it worthy and may see the splendor and gie in to his heart's calling. For, if all are called, then my obedience may be the catayst to encourage change.
"Father, help me in my words and deeds to be found faithful to You."

| May 21, 2007 - Monday | Perseverance Is this what perseverance feels like? I am enduring and struggling but failing I am not. And this, then, would be my un-nameable thorn. Free will is caught up in this. If I give up and sear, then I am no longer free. As I search for my God, I am free and total, made whole by the blood.
Help.

| May 19, 2007 - Saturday | What is my important word? The original Marathon ended with a message to a king. An obedient servant made a perilous journey to tell the big news most desperate and important. He endured with great perseverance to the end , where he died. The message and the struggle to bring it took his life.
What's my purpose for running the marathon? What message do I give my king by running this race? Will I give my all to shout, "Nike!"?

| May 18, 2007 - Friday | Henry Scougal "The worth and excellency of a soul is to be measured by the object of its love."
~Henry Scougal I am now, most recently, reminded of a great book I read some time ago. The Life of God in the Soul of Man by Henry Scougal had such a great impact on me, though its often forgotten. This book tilled the ground and made it ready for Piper, for McManus, and for even deeper Lewis understanding. Such an amazing little book, full of truth and light. Amazing. maybe I'll just pick it up this weekend and give it a read through again.

| May 5, 2007 - Saturday | what a splendid business Am I correct when I say that there are some words that are off limits for those of us who want to be seen as "masculine"? I know about the fabulous rule, but are there others? Can a truly hetero guy say the word "splendid"? Are there others??  | Currently listening :

| May 3, 2007 - Thursday | I'm reading again... "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."
~Eph 4:1 Father, my two callings are a blessing from You to Your own good purposes. One so general as to love You as You've loved me and my neighbors as myself. One so specific as to serve You out of love and serve my neighbors as I serve myself.
As I chase and search I grow weary. Give me strength. As I read and study, my eyes grow weak. Give me perseverance. As I speak Your words into seeming void, I grow hopeless. Give me hope. And as I tarry, give me Your love and honor that I may be a refreshment to others, as a cool towel to a fevered forehead.
Let my honor be in my words, and may my love be ever genuine and truthful. May my "Yes" truly be a yes, and may I only say "No" to that and those which offend You. | |
