What I'm listening to now.......

This album "Passion:Awakening" has some really amazing songs and I have enjoyed them so much. My favorite right now is "Awakening"
by Chris Tomlin. We all need the Lord to awake our souls and cause us to desire His will in our lives. The only way our souls will be awakened is with the power of God. I encourage all of you to listen and then pray that God will awaken your soul. enjoy.......

Commitment

I am going to be making some changes in my life.....little things. But sometimes those little changes are challenging. I have committed this year to start on that book that I have always wanted to write, and I have started, I am praying that the Lord will guide me in this endeavor. So God can guide me I am studying everyday and spending time in His word.
I really try to have a quiet time at home in my chair, but that does not always happen, so being my techno self, I have the Bible and some tools on my i-Phone and take advantage of that at some point during the day. The other things I am working on are learning some Spanish and memorizing the book of James. Not much. Go with me and I get through 2012.....what are you committed to this year?

Another day....As I watched the news about the miners in Virginia and the explosion, the families left behind, friends that made it out, I was aching for those people. I know that there are no words to ease their pain. I can remember when my dad died and the cards and calls that came in. I knew that people meant well and I appreciated their thoughts, but it really felt so empty, it really did not ease the pain or ache knowing that he was gone. The day of his funeral, I was caught by the fact that the world kept turning, people were shopping and going on with their lives not noticing that I was going to the cemetery to bury my dad. I wonder if all those miners families will have the same thoughts. I will pray for them, knowing that no words will ease the ache or loneliness of their loss. And yes, the world will keep turning and everyone else's life will go on and the loss of a father, brother, uncle, or son will go unnoticed in parts of town. We need to treasure every day we have here with our loved ones because we never know when they (or we) walk out the door that may be the last time we see them. Don't forget to say "I love you" you just never know.......
