Scary

Embarrassing too.  This is what the YouTube age brings us, tons of irritating videos like this one. 

It also brings us bloggers from opposite spectrums agreeing that there should be regulation, that campaign finance reform should be extended to the Internet.  It may be political but it’s also FREE SPEECH.  I love this argument by folkbum:
I have seen one [...]

Ultimate Victory

Christ has defeated death and the devil.  He is alive!
Here is a great meditation to enjoy on this joyous day.
It is reason to sing this great hymn as well on this joyful Easter Sunday.

Here are the words:

Suffer to redeem our loss. [...]

Arise my Love

Christ is Risen.  Death has been defeated.
The account of that joyous first Easter Morning from the book of Matthew, the 28th Chapter,
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

The vigil

Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate. 2And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. [...]

Love so amazing …

Those words are found in the wonderful hymn “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross” .  The words are so fitting as we look at the new command Jesus gave to love one another.  As a result of reading Josh’s blog I’ve been introduced to Pastor Weedon’s blog and he had a wonderful homily for Maundy Thursday about [...]

Maundy Thursday ‘08

Today we as Christians celebrated Maundy Thursday.  As the bulletin at my church said about Maundy Thursday when Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, instituted the Lord’s supper and gave a new commandment-
“it bears deep meaning for us who are gathered around for the washing and the eating and the love given …”
From the [...]
