This tweet caught my eye today and, once I have time to properly process it, will form the foundation of a subsequent post…
What is your initial reaction to it?

I originally posted this back in 2009 and shared it during our Communion meditation time yesterday at church…
We all worship something (sports, music, the list goes on…) – but GOD commands, desires, deserves our genuine worship! Our worship of GOD is so much more than Sunday mornings! It must be our entire life – a 24/7-kinda thing.
Our worship of GOD must become a HABIT. We’re all basically selfish (worshiping the things that please us or are interesting to us) and it’s probably not our default to worship GOD.
Keying off the word HABIT, the old English (and French, thanks to my friend Christian) definition of HABIT is “clothing, a condition, or character of something.”
Keeping in mind the definition above, a nuns outfit is called a HABIT. Their HABIT is a reminder to them and a sign to others of the cloistered life they have chosen.
As followers of Christ, we have a HABIT – JESUS CHRIST

I took this when we were in Monterey recently.
I got suckered into clicking this link today on Facebook…
After being notified it was a SCAM (thanks Oscar!), deleting it, and letting a few friends know about it as well, I checked out the actual video. Pretty cool…
Apparently, this guy (JK Keller) took a picture of himself every day for 8 years (1998-2006) and mashed it into a video. It looks like he continued through 2009 – as seen on his web page.
Sounds like a cool thing to do…I may have to start. See you in 8 years!
Have a great weekend!
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.
– Psalm 19:1-4
Since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made…
– Romans 1:20
I see You in every scene, I bet You are thinking about me,
I have such a short memory so You keep reminding me of You
– Scenes, Charlie Hall
This song came up on shuffle play today [iTunes].
“Books give not wisdom where none was before.
But where some is, there reading makes it more.”

So many directions to go with this quote…
I wear contact lenses.
If you wear them, you know what it’s like to get a speck in your eye. Annoying.
It bugs to no end: eyes water, nose runs, constant eye rubbing, continual blinking, mumbling to yourself, people asking “are you OK?”, life is miserable for a bit, …the list goes on.
In fact, a while back I had something in my eye and tried to simply deal with it – to get by without addressing it. Needless to say, it was a long day. Everyone noticed I was “bugged” and yet I pretended like everything was OK.
Yesterday, during Sunday School, we spent some time in Galatians 5 talking about Spirit-filled living.
The main topic was a follow-on to the sermon that morning about marriage, handling conflict, and “taking the desperation out of the household.” One thing that jumped out at me was the reminder that there is no middle ground between Galatians 5: 19-21 and 22-26.
Regarding living by the Spirit, Paul wrote:
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Here is a great post from Michael Hyatt’s blog (CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers) that is worth reading and chewing on …

The quote at the end is encouraging:
“It all works out in the end. If it hasn’t worked out yet, then it’s not the end.”
