According to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, today is the day the machines attack!!!
Skynet was implemented on April 19, 2011 and began its attack against humanity on April 21.
I got a little nervous earlier when the shredder in my office made a noise…

*honest disclaimer: i didn’t really know this until a speaker at a conference I was at yesterday shared this bit of trivia. That said, don’t cross any toasters today!
Last Sunday – which was Palm Sunday of course – Pastor John shared a bit about what Jesus did during the first part of the week leading up to His crucifixion, burial, and resurrection.
Sometime, I think we disconnect the events of Jesus’ final week on earth because we don’t always see or have a complete narrative in one place (one must read and associate the recorded stories in the four Gospels.) Jesus and His disciples weren’t just sitting around waiting for Thursday, Friday…or Sunday(!).
I was looking around at lunch and found several Passion Week timelines online, but this one from BibleGateway.com was pretty cool.
I like how it shows the different events, participants, times, places, etc.

This is an amazing week – why not prayerfully consider and reflect upon all that Christ did, endured, and accomplished each day rather then just one or two!
It’s Tuesday…but Sunday’s comin’!
ps: having written this post and now reflecting on Christ’s week, my post from yesterday seems wimpy and whiny…
As I look at my calendar, I’m pretty sure that one week from today my facial expression will resemble that of Kylie Sven Opossum from Fantastic Mr. Fox:
Oh, cuss…

Over-committed and it feels so good?
Over-committed if I’d understood:
How scattered I’d feel, but I’ve got so much zeal!
Guess I just press forward ‘cuz I’m over-committed, hey-hey!
Between Karen, home, work, church, serving in several professional organizations, … the list goes on, its been crazy lately. This popped in my head this morning…bwahahahahaha!
This week’s photo challenge at The Daily Post at WordPress.com was:

It’s not a photo, but I shot and made this video using a new iPhone app: Silent Film Director, by MacPhun LLC:
Last night, a new friend shared some great insights on Jesus’ “houses built on the rock and sand” parable.
He initially shared from Matthew 7, but then directed us to Luke 6 and the language used in that recording of the parable.
I’ve often read this parable with the thought that the lesson here is simply about building on the rock versus the sand – choosing the solid foundation of God’s Word. Good enough counsel; but, as we read in Luke, it’s more than the pre-construction task of finding the right location/foundation:

Stuff like this and other senseless and cruel acts against helpless children saddens, confuses, and infuriates me…
People blessed and entrusted with children neglect, abuse, and even murder them while others go without…
…i just don’t get it.

I stared and stared…and this is about all I ended up with:
Pathetic? Nah.
Apathetic? Possibly.
Avoidance? Hmmm…
Productive? YES! (at least i can check off my “postaday2011” task for April 12, 2011!)
I was reading in 1 Kings this morning and read King David’s charge to Solomon:
When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son.
“I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said. “So be strong, act like a man, and observe what the LORD your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go…”
1 Kings 2:1-3 (NIV)
I don’t really recall the final conversation I had with my dad – it probably wasn’t anything too deep. Exchanges like the one above aren’t the type that you’d typically expect unless one’s death was near.
I’m pretty positive that given the opportunity, my dad would have given me a similarly-themed charge — my mom as well.
I miss both of them something awful … I pray they would be pleased with my life.
