Hope & Faith

What a beautiful Christmas song this is by Natalie Grant! We all know the Christmas story as it's described in the Bible, and how wonderful to believe that it's more than a fable, more than a fairy tale. God came to earth to live among us and to save us. That's what Christmas is all about. Thank you Father for loving us so much that you did this for us.

From Twila's 1999 album "True North". A little bit different album for her, a somewhat more progressive style. I'm not sure I interpreted this song correctly; sometimes hard to understand who "you" is referring to here. I interpreted the song as being about sharing the gospel, and witnessing by example. So "you" is a friend who is being ministered to and being led to Christ. Even if I got it wrong, it's a pretty song.

Some years ago a nine-year-old girl wrote a wonderful essay called "What Is A Grandmother?" And this is what the child said. You're going to love this. She said, "A grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own," which is an interesting definition.

I've often been asked, "Which is more damaging to children? A parenting style that's very authoritarian and rigid, or one that's permissive and loose?" Actually, both these extremes leave their characteristic scars on children, and I really would be hard pressed to say which is worse.

You know, many women these days report feeling anxious and insecure about the task of raising their sons. Whether they're single or married, there's just a sense of not being equipped to meet the special challenges of teaching and training young boys. Well, a friend of mine, the late Jean Lush, wrote a wonderful book on the subject appropriately called MOTHERS AND SONS.

Sinner's Creed is the uncensored memoir of Scott Stapp, Grammy Award winning leader of the multiplatinum rock band CREED. During CREED's decade of dominance and in the years following the band's breakup, Scott struggled with drugs and alcohol, which led not only to a divorce, but also to a much-publicized suicide attempt in 2006. Now clean, sober, and in the midst of a highly successful solo career, Scott has finally come full circle--a turnaround he credits to his renewed faith in God. In Sinner's Creed, Scott shares his story for the first time--from his fundamentalist upbringing, the rise and fall of CREED, and his ongoing battle with addiction, the rediscovery of his faith, and the launch of his solo career. The result is a gripping memoir that is proof positive that God is always present in our lives, despite the colossal mess we sometimes make of them.

The Daily Pulse (Tuesday, August 21, 2012): “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor the alien within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest, as you do. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day. Deuteronomy 5:12-15

Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)
9 Mas vosotros sois linaje escogido, real sacerdocio, nación santa, pueblo adquirido por Dios, para que anunciéis las virtudes de aquel que os llamó de las tinieblas a su luz admirable;

10 vosotros que en otro tiempo no erais pueblo, pero que ahora sois pueblo de Dios; que en otro tiempo no habíais alcanzado misericordia, pero ahora habéis alcanzado misericordia.
