those of you who know me, know that i appreciate a little bit of bacon from time to time [oh, behave!] and so stumbling upon a blog page called '365 Days of Bacon'was clearly going to be a treat, and when on a whim i decided to email and ask if the creator would do a guest post for me and she said, "Absolutely!" despite being totally busy, i was even more bouyed and so [...]
A friend of mine connected me to Jennifer's blog posts which she has just written and they are deeply moving and heart-breaking, but at the same time I think it can be so powerful for those who are going through a similiar journey to be connected in some way to others who have also walked or are walking this road. I really appreciate her willingness to let me repost her blog and encourage you to [...]
i refer to John 15.4 all the time: 'Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.' and i also love o use Psalm 46.10 which talks about being still and knowing that I [God] am God: 'He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I [...]
well, i know i have your attention now, but really, if you read this story you may have that impression because he really gives this woman a bit of a hard time. but then if you know Jesus at all that doesn't seem like Him, so what is the vibe? take a look with me as i take a brief read through Mark chapter 7 verses 24-30 [for the next passage that deals [...]
hey there, gather round and listen up step yourself a little closer so-i can tell you what is up on this day, the very 25 of may there are a few things that I feel that I have got to say first of all, we find ourselves upon a special day so, let’s all join with one another and hip hip hooray and give some applause, and much due celebration to the woman of, this [...]
from this last week on The Daily Mash [and Peace!] blog i'd have to say Thursday's John Piper tweet piece would be one to look at - Friday's 'Get your fax straight' i published on this blog as well under a different title, and if you haven't watched Wednesday's Improv TED talk then that is very much worth it, as was Tuesday's piece about the inspirational feet-paint-tree-creation-on-road-in-Hong-Kong bit... so i'd start with those and catch [...]
Another photo challenge and this idea i really like - the thing that is not the thing - or the question of focus - is the thing in the foreground of the picture 'the thing' or are we meant to be keeping an eye on what is in the background? is it "both...and?" So many options and so i had to use three different pics which i feel increase in terms of degree or extent [...]
what an incredible psalm. we know it was 'To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks” which makes me wonder what type of genre song that was? is this David at his hip hop best? the title does have more of a country feel to it, or maybe a rock ballad? who knows, but it makes for interesting speculation. we also know this psalm is from 'when the Philistines seized him in Gath' so [...]
Earlier this week a tornado swept through Oklahama, killing a number of people and leaving a mass of devastation in its wake. Within a couple of hours of the disaster, well-known speaker and author John Piper tweeted this verse: “Your sons and daughters were eating and a great wind struck the house, and it fell upon them, and they are dead.” Job 1:19 There was a huge uproar about it. How could this public figure [...]
his name is Mark. youngish guy, i'd say mid twenties and kinda looked a little bit like Mark Brendanawicz. but i don't think it was him. [i mean it could have been him cos Mark has been out of the show for a season or two although i don't think his name is actually 'Mark' in real life so he might have used that name. it's not, Uncle Google says it's 'Paul Schneider'] but he [...]
