Trip to Texas, and oh by the way, Shake Your Booty Jesus

3 Comments

Well, it’s official.  I am sitting here at the Philly airport actually getting ready to take off for Dallas, TX.  (For the full story click here, and here)   So you are in for a bevy of treats today.  I’ve got plenty of time to read, think, write, and you guessed it… blog.  So this is probably going to turn out to be a little longer than normal.  For those who are not faint of heart, you will be rewarded with humor, insight, ramblings and the sporadic checkpoint photo of where I am. 

I got an email from my mom last night saying they were having a cold spell coming.  I checked the weather… Yeah, let me translate for all of us who are on the east coast.  Instead of the oven being set to broil, it’s preheated to a tad over 400.  No biggie! 

Well, anyhow, over the course of the next two weeks, I am going to be doing a good bit of traveling.  Right now I am going to visit my family down in Texas.  I get back on Friday morning, and I leave Saturday morning for our Junior High Summer Camp at Camp Conrad. 

So here’s the deal, I got home from Sr. High Youth Group last night, and Tiffany says, “I’ve got something that you need to see.”  All I can say is I’ve got something YOU need to see.  Enjoy this!

Seriously, it is moments like that when you say, He definitely came from his mother!  I have a close friend who liked to remind me of something.  He had a little axiom that he would use.  It went like this… “Children do what they see their parents do”.  So wherever you are Chris, I hope that brought a smile to your face.  I still can’t stop laughing!

Well as promised I have several gems for you today.  This is mostly because I have had significant time to sit/ponder/read and now write.  Well I have also been listening.  Here’s the playlist that I put together for the trip down to TX.

There you have it! I Just finished the book unChristian by Dave Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons.  I am going to work on a review for you all.  So, I go back to reading and studying…  

Small world eh?  Try this on for size.  One of the elders from my church is on this same flight with his son.  How funny is that.  I’m boarding and all of a sudden I see these two smiling faces, and after having been delayed over an hour, smiling faces were few and far between.  Welcome aboard…  Too funny

How does this speak to you?

5 Comments

Here’s what we are going to do.  I found this video that is pretty neat.  It is about a minute or so.  Watch it then comment on how it speaks to you?  What emotions does it leave you feeling after you have seen it?  What thoughts does it make you think of?  It struck me in a particular way.  I will post about that later, however, I’m interested to see how it strikes you…  This could be neat.

Some things just need to be seen, this must be watched

3 Comments

Hey guys, there are several blogs that I read daily once of which is Pete Wilson’s blog.  Pete continues to stir my heart and challenge me.  They have been doing a series at their church called Plan B.  A series that basically says, what do you do when life doesn’t work out the way you expected it to?   

 Just the other day he shared this video.  This is a story of a couple from Cross Point Community Church.  This is a must watch.  You know how people say you need to see this to believe it.  Sometimes you must actually see something to believe it.  Well, I could tell you how incredible this is, or how challenging this is, but you must watch this to believe it.  Their story challenged me, it made me cry, it made me think, and it made me grateful.  Check this video out.  I know it is kinda long, but it is well worth the time.  

I tried to embed it in here, but I couldn’t get that to work, so please just click this, and it will direct you to the video.

You Never Let Go…

1 Comment

I have been thinking alot lately.  I know… that sounds funny.  Seriously though, there have been times in my lief when I have just coasted, and haven’t really thought alot, and then times where I find myself continually thinking about things.   Well, right now is just one of those times.  I know that I haven’t posted anything in a couple days, but I honestly have been thinking about how best to put into words what I am thinking.  I went to Texas to visit my parents and my family.  Coming home on the plane, I had several hours to sit and think. (When I wasn’t trying to keep grace out of the guys hair piece in front of me…)  But I was thinking and listening to one of my favorite bands, David Crowder Band.  I was listening to their new album, Remedy.  On that album there is a song called Never Let Go.  What a worshipful experience that was for me. 

Before we go further with this conversation you need to hear the words to the song.  This is a simple video that someone else put together and posted on youtube.  Listen to the words.  And if you don’t hear them the first time, listen again, or just click here and read them as the music plays.

Have you, or are you experiencing something or a time in your life right now when you feel like God has left you behind, or forgotten about you? 

“Ever faithful, Ever True, You I know, You never let Go!”

Let me encourage you if you are going through a difficult time, lean on God, and realize that He never changes, He is still the same today as He was yesterday. 

What do you think?
