In Awe

Church today was Ah-mazing. We discussed worship - more specific, transformative worship. Making God your top priority and worshiping in Awe of God. The cool thing about awe is - its not something that is self generated. We talked alot about being in awe - in awe of buildings, stunts, ect. Pastor Mike had a video he wanted to show us, unfortunately, it disappeared, but I did find it on you tube. I watch it just not and it was just one of those things. I didn't have to fake my Awe, it was there...and how could it not be? Once you see this video you understand...it makes me wonder how anyone can not believe in God.



Enjoy.

The other point Pastor Mike made was how in today's society we dumb God down, we put limits on Him and therefore put limits on our worship to him. If our worship is misdirected, it hurts us. It's quite sad actually.

I want to seek God and worship Him without limits. I want to allow worshipping Him to change me...I am a sinner, I am not perfect, but with God, I have hope. And that hope has gotten me through so much.

"This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.' Zechariah 7:9-10

10 Things I Wonder...

Today, I have alot on my mind - mostly things I wonder!

1. How did my baby go from this:


To this:


My baby is 11 months old today, I cannot believe it!

2. How do I not lose my mind now that my little man is crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything?

3. Why does Parker always seem to find the hardest surface to pull up on? And how many times can he fall and bump his head before the kid gets a concussion or something?

4. How afraid should I be of the swine flu?

5. Does Jack Hanna live in Columbus since he is our zoo director?

6. Should I go to the library today?

7. Is my son going to say "kitty" before he says "mama"?

8. How do I not over pack for our Tennessee Trip? I don't want to go overboard, but I also don't want to forget anything since we will be gone for a week.

9. Why did I just call my cat Parker?

10. Why do I love blogging so much?

If this is fat...

If this is fat....than I must be gianormous! I mean, I this certainly isn't the most flattering look on Ms. Simpson, but she is NOT fat...and if she is....than I must be super fat!

This is why media ticks me off....because apparently to be healthy and skinny you must be a size: 0 I hate to tell you this, but size 0 isn't what I strive to be. I would certainly like to be healthier...maybe a size 12 or 14 (because isn't that the average size of a woman?

I am just so saddened at how media is. I feel bad for Jessica Simpson.

This is Not for Kids

Putting popular pop songs to kid type music with kids singing the songs does not constitute a kids song. I am horribly frustrated that there even is a Kidz Bop 15...and I am even more horrified that those who create these cd's put this type of music in a cd form and sell.



I just can't believe that there is a 15th edition...and what's even worse...some of the dancing is rather risque for children and the songs on it are so not what I would allow my teen, tween or even young child to hear.

Here is just some of the songs they "re-do":

"So What" by Pink...do parents realize this song has to do with someone getting a divorce, then going out and drinking and partying like a rock star?

"When I Grow Up" by Pussycat Dolls...enough said.

"American Boy" by Estelle...basically about her wanting to hook up with an American Boy

"Take a Bow" by Rhianna....about some guy cheating and then begging for forgiveness.

I mean really?

Remind me not to purchase this! Ugh....it all just disgusts me.
