Take me for everything...

I had never heard about this video until I searched for the song this morning.

I was on my way home from youth group on Sunday night, and this song (All the Same) came on the radio. I found myself hearing the voice of God saying some of these words.

Then I came across the video for the song, the "Free Hugs" version anyway, and found out that I'm way behind the power curve on this one because the song came out two years ago.

So, I guess don the Captain Obvious costume (again) and offer this up for your viewing/listening/hearing pleasure:



One comment on youtube says, " this video makes me smile so much I want to cry, it's wonderful how much love is in this video."

My daughter said, "You can tell this guy is a Christian." I don't know if he is or not, but I sure do see Jesus in him.

What is "IT" ?

I remember Faith No More asking the question "What is it?" The answer? "It's it!" Ah, yes, the circle of busy...

I'm posting this because it's something we all need to hear.

bible in one hand remote in the other?

As I was watching the news this morning I found myself praying over these two situations and wanted to make possibilities for help known.



In Burma the UN says that 2.5 million people have been affected by the cyclone--the dead line river banks (one reported lost count after 107 bodies) and in another area 20 people are living in one tiny house. The government of Myanmar has blocked foreign aid, but UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) is working with Church World Service on relief efforts and has established the following Advance number for the Myanmar emergency: Advance #3019674.


China's government is now saying that 50,000 people may have died in the recent earthquake. Even 76 hours after the quake, survivors are still being found. UMCOR Advance No. 982450 can help with recovery efforts.

Even if you cannot donate, please keep all God's children in your prayers.

4th grade musical

My daughter was in her fourth grade musical tonight. The program was called "Lights! Camera! Action!" and all of the students were dressed as various movie stars. Some of the parts were assigned but Kaat was lucky enough to be able to pick the star she dressed up as.

With a little help from her friends, she settled on Marilyn Monroe.


and in the best "7 year itch" pose that a 10 year old can muster...

man, oh man, I better get my axe because she is gonna break some hearts.

random thought

So I'm playing this game on Facebook that involves picking the correct definition for words--a vocabulary game (I'm seriously a geek...I'm a geek's geek...but cute!)

Anyway, I come across the word "tribune," you know the word so often associated with the phrase "military tribunal" a secret trial that does not involve a jury of peers.

So the definition for tribune that was listed in this vocabulary game--"tribune: n. any champion of the rights and liberties of the people: often used as the name for a newspaper."

Interesting.

Very interesting.

what in the wide world of sports, batman?


Riddle me this:

construction worker who is a Red Sox fan wants to jinx the Yankees' new stadium and so buries a Bo'sox jersey under two feet of concrete. Now the Yanks are digging up that two feet of concrete to remove said jersey and are suing the construction worker. (Read about it here)

Now who the "Biggest Loser"?

Or maybe it's this:

Remember the days when all we had to figure out was what to do with Catholics who wanted to marry a Baptist? Now it's about gang afflilations!

The full article is here, but the short of it looks something like this:

"COMMERCE CITY, Colo. - When Mom wears one set of gang colors and Dad wears another, conflict over how to raise the baby can cause irreconcilable differences.

At least that’s what happened for one Commerce City, Colo. couple."

The world's gone wonky!
