I listened to a talk while I was painting the banister last night. The message really sobered me up for the events of the day. Based out of the book of Joel, Allen Hood gives some intense, practical understanding to our call to raise our children knowing the truth of God's character, to focus on the Lord as our true provider. Sometimes God's relationship with us looks different than the one He has with our nation. Hmm.

I have a great life.

Blog-world, Greetings from NKY. The baby slept until 8am this morning, and only once woke up for a feeding. This is a great morning to chew on some things that are in my mind from the past week. I believe this is my first response to a blog: a blog on RE:Sound blog [a new division of the Mars Hill/Resurgence family]. So, I read this blog about music that was written to counteract the act of burning, destroying, getting rid of, excluding all secular music when a person is converted. [I remember my dad telling me that he thinks his 1st ed. Zepplin LP kind of howled as he melted it in the fire. Seriously.] The writers' opinion was that destroying the music was simply an emotional expression of something inside, inspired by a teacher/preacher/youth pastor to get rid of immorality.
