It's A Great Day On The Rock!

It's a great day, what a great day
It's a day for singin' hallelu
It's a great day, what a great day
It's a day for singin' hallelu

This is my last section of the "Sermon on the Mount" (Matthew 5-7) to memorize!!!!

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law. --Matthew 7.24-29

Optometrist Appointment @ 9.30 -
'To See or Not To See?' that is the question. Goggles, glasses and/or contacts?

Mystery Dinner @ 6.00 -
Assume the persona of Jasper Herbert, Treasurer for F.U.D.G.E Church.
"You like your fancy clothes, fancy cars, fancy trips. You even have a fancy wife. You take your job seriously and are always trying to come up with incredible new ways to raise money for the church... like the time you tried to get money at the "Dunk the pastor in the baptismal tank!"
Should be interesting if nothing else! :-P

Honestly?

Shall I set forth the truth? Claro que no.

But I shall anyway.

Today was a most discouraging day. For Many and Varied reasons.

I realized late this evening that I had one unread C.S. Lewis book left on my dresser, Present Concerns. Upon the discovery of this fact, I resolved not to retire until I had read the book in its entirety. Lucia Micarelli's music from a farther room was then turned on to provide a beautiful background of violin music. The Muses would be pleased.

I am currently only halfway through Present Concerns - and I just finished a marvelous article "Talking about Bicycles."

I just remembered that I should have called home this evening for I shan't get the chance 'til Monday now.

Curses.

Success. A las doce menos cuarto.

It's a terrible thing to be trapped behind the bars of your own making.

Sound of Silence

When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. - Revelation 8.1

This is why there will be no college or professional sports in heaven. :-D


Hey now, that's not how the joke usually goes - it could have been worse. ;-)

Love is better than the rest
It's better than success
And all that you possess
Love is better than the best
The greatest thing of all is love

Applicable Thoughts from "Rethinking"

"Don't get me wrong: I believe wholeheartedly in the sovereignty of God. At the same time I also believe we have free will and a responsibility to pursue God's will for our lives. God's sovereignty doesn't mean we are puppets who cannot take action until he pulls our strings. On the contrary, we are expected to live our lives in ways that follow God's will and do what is right in his eyes. When we misunderstand God's sovereignty, it can become merely an excuse to be lazy and justification for our refusal to assume our God-given roles. We must cooperate with what we know to be God's will for our lives - whether it's loving our neighbors or honoring our parents. Obedience requires action."
