Priorities

  Predicate's Perch

Notice the low table in the background. It was found at IKEA, in the "rejects" department. I was looking for a table for winter puzzles to be on.

Interestingly, my Cherie said today, "Mom, for the first time ever you got a piece of furniture we actually can use!"

Priorities.

Also, Predicate seems to be thriving. We find her in the most comfortable of positions.

Late Night Musings

It's one week since the wedding. We are getting back into the rhythm of our lives.

As big events become memories, and new things crowd the calendar to look forward to, we pause. We must pause. The lull is for breathing. We need to replenish.

After the last wedding we were hit by an unanticipated upheaval, it's nice to get through this one with relative stability. I confess that I watched what would unfold with a questioning spirit.

My friend told me a quote she heard about crisis in life-----it went something like "You are either looking back on a crisis, in the middle of one, or about to go through one..."

It's how you roll with it.

I confess that I long for Jesus more everyday. I have written the word "maranatha" around the house, and I cry it each morning.

Come quickly, Lord.

I am amazed at the ability of Christ-followers of the past to cling to Him and weather the storms of long life. I realize that we all must face each day, asking for our DAILY bread, and a long life is a victory of daily battles. It sobers me.

Yes, we are in this for the long haul, and our "Kingdom Life" has already begun-----that spiritual eternal life through salvation in Christ alone. We contend with our human nature and frailty only for a little while more.

Only a little while.

As Elijah felt a time of weary darkness after his great tasks on Mount Carmel, even we small ones must have rest for ourselves amidst life events.

I rest. I wait. I watch.

And I am so thankful.

"My yoke is easy. My burden is light."----Jesus

Brother Humblehorse

I am a musician who loves classical music. I have little appreciation for rock music. I'm one of those people who believes that the music itself has spiritual power, and that the 3 parts of music, melody, rhythm, and harmony, relate directly to our spirit, body, and soul respectively.

I realize that not everyone has heard this, but it has been clearly demonstrated in my own life.

Here is a music video from "Humblehorse."

I can't recommend his music, but his sense of art and his message are priceless. I just wanted to pass it along. He's a fellow "watchman."

Very Tired, Very Happy

Yes, my son got married on Saturday. (Yes, the second son's wedding in four months' span!) It is unbelievably cold here in Minnesota, but the day turned out to be "balmy" by winter temperature standards for this region!

Still, snow and ice presented a difficulty that was part of the whole wondrous affair!

The bride was beautiful, the groom ecstatic.

It was a sweet day.

I loved how the bridal party entered the sanctuary to the "Hava Nagila"----it was a beautiful and joyful blessing to the marriage ceremony.

  Don't they look happy?

God is so good.

May He bless them.

 

Heads Up!

Lots to think on....

Ariel Sharon...

The Rabbi Who Found Messiah


Interesting times we are in! According to the DVD about the rabbi, who prophesied about the Messiah, there is a direct link to Ariel Sharon and the return of Messiah.  I hope it's the real one, and not the anti-messiah.

I have the DVD. If you are nearby I'll happily lend it to you.

If there is time.....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It might be that we are going to see the true King of Kings this year. Maranatha!
