Numba 1 Fo Timoty 3:16

dennarr — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:02:55 +0000

I’ve been reading through the Pauline Letters and was in 1 Timothy this morning. Sometimes I like checking passages out in other versions – Da Jesus Book (the Hawai’i Pidgin Bible) is often a favorite:

We all say dis:
Da stuff bout God, dat befo time was secret, dass importan fo real kine.
Christ wen come, wit one body jalike us.
Godʼs Spirit wen show proof dat Christ stay right.
Da angel guys from God wen see him.
His guys wen teach da diffren peopos all ova da world bout him.
Get peopo inside da world dat trus him.
God wen take him back to da awesome place inside da sky.

- Numba 1 Fo Timoty 3:16 – da Jesus Book

Sometimes

Sometimes every one of us feels
Like we’ll never be healed
Sometimes

Sometimes every one of us aches
Like we’ll never be saved
Sometimes

When you’ve given up
Let your healing come
Till you’re rising up
Let your healing come

Sometimes
It’s like we’ll never atone
For all the love we’ve known
Sometimes
Like in a smile or a song
When you feel love come
And that feeling’s gone
It flies

When we’ve given up
Let your healing come
When there’s nothing left
Let your healing come
Till we’re rising up
Let your healing come
Where you go, we will follow
Where you go, we will follow

It’s your love that we adore
It’s like a sea without a shore
We’re lost in you, we’re lost in you
It’s your love that we adore
It’s like a sea without a shore
We’re lost in your, we’re lost in you
It’s your love that we adore
It’s like a sea without a shore
We’re lost in you, we’re lost in you
It’s your love that we adore
It’s like a sea without a shore
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Just set your sail

And risk the ocean, there’s only grace
Let’s risk the ocean, there’s only grace
Let’s risk the ocean, there’s only grace
Let’s risk the ocean, there’s only grace

Where you go we will follow
I’m on my knees
Where you go we will follow
Oh, God send me

Where you go we will follow
I’m on my knees
Where you go we will follow

Sometimes

Jan 13, 2012 Chewables

dennarr — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 00:04:02 +0000

These either hit my Inbox, were read, or were seen while fortuitously hopping around the Internet this past week:

For He chose us in him before the creation of the world…

- Paul, Ephesians 1:4

Fall seven times, stand up eight.

- Japanese Proverb

To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first.

- William Shakespeare, Henry VIII

Running is just you, the work you put in, and the clock. You can’t cheat yourself. If you don’t put in the miles, you can’t go to the starting line thinking you’re going to pull a miracle out of nowhere. You get out exactly as much as you put in.

- Desiree Davila

If we write our dreams and goals down, we dramatically increase our odds of realization. If we share them with others, they become potent and alive.

- Kristin Armstrong

“We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves.”

- Sir Roger Bannister

…all worth of being chewed upon and actions being taken.

thus:

Remember that God loves and chose – even before I messed things up (which He knew would happen anyway)
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes or take risks, resolve to learn from them…and strive to not repeat the same mistake too many times!
Train, train, train. Then: Improve, improve, improve. [don't be satisfied with the "train" level]
With running, nay with anything in life, don’t settle for GIGO.
Make a list. Share it.
Don’t forget the fun part of running…and life!

me, HIM

A rough minute, hour, day, month, year can change or affect me – it does not change or affect HIM:

“…if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.”

- 2 Timothy 2:13 NIV

Thankful, so thankful for that truth.

In The Bleak Midwinter

dennarr — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:01:43 +0000

My friend Dave shared this video the other day…simply wonderful. [thanks Dave!]

[YouTube]

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen snow on snow snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter long ago

Our God heav’n cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain
Heav’n and earth shall flee away, when He comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter, a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ

Angels and archangels, may have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim, thronged the air
But His mother only, in her maiden bliss
Worshipped the Beloved, with a kiss

What can I give Him, poor as I am
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man, I would do my part
Yet what can I give Him, give my heart

Christina G. Rossetti
