He reached into my pathetic emptiness and planted objective and purpose there.

Now I feel like singing; there is genuine meaning for my life.

And maybe I can sell others on this concept of really finding themselves in God.

Those who are thoroughly fed up with the fly-by-night objectives of this ephemeral existence, who will look to their Creator and seek out his will for them, they will also find something to sing about.

Psalm 40 (Psalms/Now, Brandt)

Hi.

I’m new around here.

Hey.

Prayer Room

I had the privilege of leading a prayer room on “Missions Day” at MABTS a few weeks back. For obvious reasons, my room was focussed on Peru. Check out the video I put together for it. For more info on the SAM Region, go here.

Dana

Those of you who are long time readers will remember Dana Palomino. She is one of the clearest examples I have ever seen of a life completely transformed by Jesus Christ.

Dana will be getting married in June of 2009 and has asked me to walk her down the aisle in place of her father. Her father, at this point, is unable to obtain a U.S. visa in order to attend the ceremony in Oklahoma.

Thanksgiving Tree

Remember the New Year’s Resolutions I made way back when? “Participate in Significant Celebration” was one of them. Over the past year I’ve put some energy and creativity into rethinking significant dates (Christmas and Easter, for example). Amidst that rethinking we initiated last year what I hope will be a lifelong family tradition, the Thanksgiving Tree.

It’s amazing what happens when we make an abstract idea tangible. The Thanksgiving Tree is our reminder to be grateful. Every time we think of something for which we are thankful, we write it down and hang it on the tree. It’s filling up fast!

Once Thanksgiving Day arrives, we’ll take all the cards down and read them. You can read the ones from last year here.

Supposed conversation between President Bush and Bin Laden as related to me per a homeless man at McMath Public Library.

Bin Laden: I’m gonna take over the world.

President Bush: No you’re not.

Bin Laden: You blamed 9/11 on me.

President Bush: Well, that’s my game.

So, that’s how it went down . . .

Polycarp

It was Polycarp’s humility and proper perspective on himself in relation to Christ that put him in a posture that, in the face of sure death, enabled him to boldly say “For eighty-six years I have been his servant, and he has never done me wrong: how can I blaspheme my king who saved me?”

Spake/Hath Spoken

I ran across this at the beginning of this public domain book. Pretty bizarre, huh?

. . .

The other day I sat Sophia on the counter so she could watch me brush my teeth (she’s just kind of quirky like that). Then she asked me a question (and, keep in mind, I was fully clothed at the time):

Do you have your panties on Daddy?

I think it was a trick question.
