Caught this the other day on YouTube.
It’s amazing to see how much God can touch a life
through a song.

So I’ve got this leftover gift basket from Christmas that I haven’t given to
a friend yet. It’s getting a bit late in the season to gift it. I’m hoping to
turn it into an Easter basket (still not sure how I can turn the santa-guy
into a bunny).

How would you like this guy psyching you out while you are trying to finish your next big project?

Every time the opposing team tries to hit a free throw, he holds up a picture of his own face while making the same silly face.

Talked today about a study that revealed that people with simple, easy to pronounce names are more likely to get promotions in the workplace. Made me start thinking about the importance of names, and the names of our God. He’s got some pretty hard to pronounce names, but you don’t get any higher than Him. Here’s a video on the names of God. Pretty powerful stuff. Blessings in Jesus (now there’s a name!),

I have a picture of my daughter on my desk. It is a new picture, taken not more than a few months ago. When I see it, I feel like she’s right there with me; and by the time I get home, it’s like I’ve been with her throughout the day. It’s amazing how God brings the people we love into our lives. He cares so much for us to give us care for one another. Pictures are one thing, but the picture God brings of us into each others hearts is so real. If you haven’t asked him for his Holy Spirit…today is a good day. In Christ, we can be with one another in ways beyond our comprehension. In Christ we have unity.

I saw this picture of these beautiful elephants the other day…

The Sumatran elephants. Turns out they are on the brink of extinction. Reports are that in just 30 years they may be extinct in the wild. How bout’ the love in that mama elephants eyes… Just a reminder that we gotta look out for the animals too!

Proverbs 12:10…The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

We face some pretty fierce moments in life…hoping we can all have the same courage as this 3 year old girl facing a lion at a zoo.

“Be Strong and Courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

So I’ve got this plant on my desk.  It’s a winter cactus and it’s in full bloom.  Super-Beautiful.  I was given it by a friend and co–worker who left it in my care.  I’m finding I kinda have a green thumb these days.  It didn’t always used to be that way.  But when we give our hearts to Christ, beautiful things begin to take shape.  It reminded me, though, of something I heard a friend say many years ago.  He was asked, “Do you think it’s a good idea for me to get a pet?”, by someone in a support group that I was a member of.  He answered (and this is just a rough recollection) , “Well, If you can keep a plant for a year, without it dying…then you can get a pet; and if you can keep a pet for a while without it dying…then you can begin to think about having kids.”
I’ve got two daughters; and it’s not always easy to know the best things to say, you know…I struggle sometimes.  But I’m finding that the Lord is giving me what I need to be a good dad.  Not perfect by any means…but more loving and kind than I’ve been in a long time.  He pours into us such comfort and care to give to others; and loves us through it too.  We serve an awesome God who wants for us to bloom.
I’ve got the plant thing down.  God’s still working on the rest.
Thriving by his grace….
