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.

Opposing Sin and Evil

One of the guys at Scriptorium Daily has issued a call to arms, so to speak. In an effort to help extend this call to the outside of the Ivory Towers of Academia, I am posting the link for all seven of my visitors.

Unscheduled Break

For my friends in the blog world, July has been horrible. My struggling business is down (worst month of the year). My work truck has broken down twice each time losing a day of work. My wife was in the hospital for four days (she is OK now, but it was quite a scare).

On the bright side, I am working on a writing project for church. That means all my time for writing in the near future will go to that project.

I should be back in a couple of weeks.

Figure Skating

This is the male equivalent of figure skating.
