sooo, this week has been SLOWWW around here because i have been spending my time on other things…my office has never been so clean and organized!!! but today i came across this post from my friend gabe…not only does he blog, but he runs this podcast…and does all kinds of tech stuff each day…some of which is answering my questions!!!

but today he posted something that i would encourage all of you to go read…in light of the upcoming election…and i get sick to my stomach talking about politics…but you need to read this!!!

you just have to read it!!!

sooo, i have been waiting for this documentary to come out for a while now…there are reviews all over the board on this film…good, bad, and indifferent…there have been lawsuits against it, which have been dismissed by the federal courts…your church can host a viewing of the film…my understanding of the documentary is that it is dealing with the fact that there are “intelligent” people out there who believe in creation, but they are not getting a voice…and as of this week, it was released on DVD…

i checked amazon this morning and see where it is #11 today on the bestseller list for movies/tv…according to the movie’s website, they are the #1 documentary of 2008…with those kind of stats i would say that it’s worth taking a look at…hopefully i will see it soon and check back in with my own review…as worthless as it may be…here’s a trailor for the film…

finally released…

sooo, in the past week…maybe longer…molly has this habit developing that i absolutely love as her father…see when it’s time to get her up…i love going in…because she will pop up, no matter how deep of a sleep she was in…and she will say, “rock”…i just love it!!!

let me explain…it has nothing to do with the type of music that daddy listens to…or the type of music that daddy plays on sunday at church…no, it has everything to do with this chair about three feet away from her crib…see, she wants me to pick her up, go sit in the chair, and…

rock…

immediately i have this feeling of great joy…love…blessing…i don’t know what all, but you get the picture…there is no better feeling for me in life right now…than to hear my daughter say that word and to hold her in my arms while we rock!!!

and usually she will start jabbering away in her own little language…telling me all about the things that she thinks i would want to know…and i encourage her as i listen, to keep sharing…i can’t wait until i actually know what she is talking about!!!

these past couple days i haven’t felt so hot…in fact i’ve felt like cruddd…so i have done a lot more resting…a lot more time has been spent being inactive and just thinking…more time has been spent just playing and singing, for the sake of worshipping and spending time with God…instead of because i’m getting ready for a service or because i have to…and God has really been reminding of that word…

rock…

i’m convinced that God really wants to spend more time with me…He wants me to get up and have that same desire…for Him to pick me up and hold me in His lap…for me to tell Him all about the things in my life that i need to share with Him…He wants to listen to me…He wants to encourage me and be there for me…

i’ve been reminded of matthew 11:28 & 29…

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (NLT)

sooo, if you will pardon me…i have something to go do…with my Father…

rock…
