I Want to Cram The Christmas Shoes…

I Want to Cram The Christmas Shoes…

A couple months ago I pre-ordered the book, The Gospel-Driven Life, by Michael Horton.

I was eagerly awaiting for it to arrive in the mail. But somehow the order got screwed up, and they ended up sending me this DVD…

Switchfoot at The Orange Peel

Switchfoot at The Orange Peel

The Orange Peel was packed last night… Probably because Switchfoot was opening for Switchfoot.

Beastly Pride

Beastly Pride

“This is the verdict on you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your kingdom is taken from you. You will be driven out of human company and live with the wild animals. You will eat grass like an ox. The sentence is for seven seasons, enough time to learn that the High God rules human kingdoms and puts whomever he wishes in charge.”

It happened at once. Nebuchadnezzar was driven out of human company, ate grass like an ox, and was soaked in heaven’s dew. His hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a hawk.

Talking Animals

Talking Animals

I have some mixed emotions when I visit the zoo.

The Cleveland Zoo is pretty amazing. It’s got to be one of the best zoos in the U.S.

I mean…

Any zoo that has a Polar Bear and a Grizzly Bear has got to be one of the best.

Look at that bear!!! I love bears.

Give me your Worried Shoes

Give me your Worried Shoes

Sometimes I worry, and I don’t even know I’m worrying.
Worry is like that most of the time I guess.
I knew something was wrong with me the past couple days, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what it was.
I knew it had something to do with seeing my Mom again this week…
With Dad missing.
And finding out yesterday that my best friend might be facing cancer…
Again.

Guilt and Shame

How would you answer the following questions:
Do you live with a simmering sense of guilt?
Do you consistently feel inadequate?
Are you overwhelmed?
Are you afraid to take on new challenges?
Do you avoid people?
Are you defensive when corrected?
Do you assume you know other people’s motives?
Do you feel like you’re being set up by God?
My answer is…
“Yes”.
