Not so Good News

My wife and I had some bad news this week. Tricia is 25 weeks pregnant and some complications were found. Read the updates here. If you would like to be on the e-mail prayer list, email me here.

I will post as I often as I am able. I know you understand.

Jockey For Position [Pinky and The Brain]

For the education of Ania. For the rest of you guys, remember the glory days.

Remember: Fear God.

One of my Elders preached straight to my heart last Sunday.You can listen here (warning: direct link to a 20mb file).

This sermon inspired this prayer.

My Lord God, You scare me.
I have been overwhelmed by Your power.
As you have humbled kings You have humbled me.
Fearing You is the beginning of wisdom.
Please forgive me for being a fool.
Your might has crushed cities and nations.
Yet I have been a coward in front of mockers
rather than being awestruck before you, my God.
You have broken me. I am Yours.
I thought too little of You, Lord. I thought You smaller than You are.
I have read the Prophets say, "From You there is no hiding place,"
But acted as though I could hide evil in the darkness of my heart.
To lay prostrate before You would be to esteem myself too highly.
If it was not for your mercy I would be unable to stand.
I am terrified by your wrath. Only Your arm can save me.
Yours is the glory so great that to see it would be death to the sinner.
Forgive me.

Update or What I Did While You Were Away.

First off the family update. Read it here and here. Second up, I am working on a writing project for church. It is very exciting, although I often feel like a grasshopper in a land of giants. It is a great challenge.

Oh, and my golf clubs where stolen last week. Bummer. I should have known better.
