“The one thing, on which we can all agree, is that God is with the vulnerable and poor. God is in the slums and in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them. 6,500 Africans are still dying every day of a preventable, treatable disease, for lack of drugs we can buy at any drug store. This is not about charity, this is about Justice and Equality.” –Bono

Find Me Here

Speak To Me

I want to feel you

I need to hear you

You are the light.

That’s leading me

To the place where I find peace again.

You are the strength,

that keeps me walking.

You are the hope,

that keeps me trusting.

You are the light to my soul.

You are my purpose…you’re everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.

You hold me in your hands, you won’t let me fall.

You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.

Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause you’re all I want,

You’re all I need

You’re everything,everything

You’re all I want

Your’re all I need

You’re everything, everything.

Just the other night, Emma prayed her bedtime prayer by herself for the first time.  She usually repeats after Jenni, but this time she said “Mommy, I do it “Jesus”!  Anytime she wants to pray, she just says “Jesus” So Jenni just said go ahead, Emma. 

Her words: “Jesus:  Today.  Keep us safe.  Good.  Tomorrow.  Amen.”

Translated: Dear Jesus, thank you for a nice day today.  Please keep us safe and help us to sleep good.  Help us to have a nice day tomorrow.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.

As you can tell, she usually only repeats the last word of what Jenni gives her to ‘repeat.’ 

Doesn’t matter, it still melted me…

This is my buddy Chris Murphy having a little too much fun in the office jumproping with the phone cord.

Exodus 24:17 TNIV Chapter
To the Israelites the glory of the LORD looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain.

Deuteronomy 4:24 TNIV Chapter
For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Hebrews 12:29 TNIV Chapter
for our “God is a consuming fire.”

Lord I’m tired
So tired from walking
And Lord I’m so alone
And Lord the dark
Is creeping in
Creeping up
To swallow me
I think I’ll stop
Rest here a while

And didn’t You see me cry’n?
And didn’t You hear me call Your name?
Wasn’t it You I gave my heart to?
I wish You’d remember
Where you sat it down

And this is all that I can say right now
And this is all that I can give

I didn’t notice You were standing here
I didn’t know that
That was You holding me
I didn’t notice You were cry’n too
I didn’t know that
That was You washing my feet
