  • Bowling

    Finally I got my score up again. No it’s nothing like expert it’s just about a hundred.  Even so for me this requires an extra practice to improve. My own program is typically once a week by myself bowling 4 games. The first is always pretty good with the second being a pit.  The other two are typically recovery with the last sometimes pulling into the lead.

    I started this season bowling about a 90 average and quickly went down to an 83 with several weeks too horrible to mention, at least my handicap helped the team. Now I am back and aiming to average 150-170. Then who knows, like they say, “Aim High”.

  • Mighty King

    Beautiful terrible -mighty king

    Your Redeemer sustainer

    Most holy ordainer-

    My mighty King

     

    You quench my thirst

    And remove sin’s curse

    You crush my rebellion

    My merciful king

     

    You’re the voice in my head

    My love and my dread

    My passion’s desire

    My holy King

     

    You’re the reason for living

    The purpose in giving

    The Spirit of power

    My might King

     

    You’re the voice in my head

    The attraction and dread

    The ultimate Lord

    My Mighty King

  • Roles- update on earlier post

    You know a whole bunch of people do not see Israel as God’s chosen nation. Others abhor the idea that God might have blessed the United States because it was a Godly nation. Still others refuse to see that traditional roles of men and women are different not for lack of equality but because we are created different. Sure there are exceptional individuals and there are many exceptions yet the there are also reasons there are stereotypical roles.  traditional ideals are traditional for a reason.

    This as I described it to a coworker in my view on women in ministry as pastors. I told her that based on scripture and the differences God has made this is generally not the ideal situation. I further stated that some outstanding leaders and teachers have been women. The upshot of it was that the main reason you have so many courageous ladies is because men have been weak and silenced from their God given duties.

  • Moments

    Moments are  precious;

    Do not let them pass.

    Seek to use them wisely;

    This hard but simple task.

     

    Now take each moment,

    Joy within your heart.

    God’s glittering gifts;

    The Lord doth impart.

     

    Each moment is a treasure

    For you to spend or waste

    Don’t let them slip through

    Or waste this incredible grace.

  • Common Pseudo Holiday

    Christians question the advisability of participating in certain celebrations from Halloween to Christmas itself. Pagans on the other hand try to take all faith out of holidays. As far at least as unofficial holidays it is always interesting to note that all churches, Baptist are particularly punctual, and many purely secular institutions set aside a time to celebrate the superbowl. This truly seems to be an American agreed upon pseudo holiday.
