Current Lyrics Stuck In My Head

dennarr — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 23:04:38 +0000

These lyrics from Paul Baloche’s new album have been stuck in my head since first hearing them last week…

From My Hope:

Nothing will change if all the plans I make go wrong
Your love stays the same
Your light will guide me through it all
I’m hanging on I’m leaning in to You

amen

Current plan: 10-Miler Training
Today’s session: 6 mile Run @ with hill repeats in the middle
Comments: Another run timed right to avoid the rain! I did 7.05 @ 9:07 with 2.25 miles of hill repeats (increasing then decreasing slope and distance) sandwiched in the middle. I wore my Road Runner rain jacket today (thinking it might rain) – I honestly think I need to find an alternative.

Recompense

Recompense is made for the guilty and the shamed
For eternity is gained in the arms of the slain

Oh my soul, praise Him

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

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

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
