Men of Faith rise up and sing…

August 28th, 2004 No comments

Here I am on the other side of the radio
Wondering why I’m here and why anybody cares what I say
No, I’m not a better man ’cause I’m singing my songs on the radio
‘Cause we’re all the same
At the end of the day

Now I imagine you on the other side of the radio
Doing your homework, or driving with your windows down on the freeway
I see you tapping the wheel, I see you bobbing your head to the radio
Oh, and it makes my day
To see that smile on your face
And in some small way
I remember my place

‘Cause it’s you and me singing the same song right now
And maybe this will bring us together somehow
And maybe there’s a million people all singing along
Somebody started thinking about the third line
And maybe someone’s saying a prayer for the first time
And that’s enough reason to keep me singing my songs
Singing my songs on the other side of the radio

Crank up the volume, and sing at the top your lungs with the radio
Tuning in to some Good News, and laughing along with the teaching
We’re shaking somebody’s world from the other side of the radio
Oh, and it makes my day
To see that smile on your face
And in some small way
I remember my place

‘Cause it’s you and me singing the same song right now
And maybe that’ll bring us together somehow
And maybe there’s a million people all singing along
Somebody started thinking about the third line
And maybe someone’s saying a prayer for the first time
And that’s enough reason to keep me singing my songs
Singing my songs on the other side of the radio

Maybe. . .

Ignoring the problems of today

August 20th, 2004 No comments

In the many months that I’ve worked as a community assistant, I’ve come to realize something: people like to blame other people.

I often found that if something is wrong, it is often my fault. One of the things that has given me a lot of grace is the fact that I’m willing to admit my own faults and say, “Look, I made a mistake. Although they don’t happen often, I do make them. I’m sorry for making the mistake and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make things right.”

Many people don’t do the last part. I think is defined in scripture when Jesus said, “When a man asks you to walk one mile, walk two.” We as people should be willing to do anything the person asks to make things right.

Wouldn’t you expect that from someone?

One Frog Later

August 7th, 2004 No comments

I think one of the most awesome things God has done is create a world with such beauty and majesty…

I’ve been praying that God would allow me to get a frog. I’ve been praying for it for a while now. As I was driving around, I saw an aquarium that would due nicely as a tank. I started building the tank, buying various pieces for it.

And now, two weeks later, I have a tank with a Green Tree Frog. I’ve named it “Sprint”. It’s a tiny little frog. I’m hoping to get another one in a couple of weeks along with two dwarf African frogs.
