This new CD by the David Crowder*Band is fantastic. I just finished it and it’s the David Crowder Band doing what they do, and doing it well. It is said that worship is a lifestyle, these guys live that out and you can tell. I want to jump, shout, kneel, cry, laugh, sing, think, and pray all at the same time when I hear this album. It’s great.
Just go by it. You’ll know what I mean pretty much right away.
David Crowder and the Band…well done. Once again, you lead us into the presence of God. Thanks. I like it here.
I didn’t put this in a previous post because I didn’t think it was necessary. I blogged about tastyblogsnack.com/live and the lifecasting that is starting to gain speed. Just to be safe, let me put this small disclaimer.
Be aware that this is NOT censored, people are free to broadcast and there is a chance they could broadcast inappropriate things. Be careful what you click on. If you are unsure, don’t click.
I was reading an article online today about a man who underwent brain surgery while being awake and conscious. The doctors performed the surgery through a small hole in the man’s skull, the procedure took place behind his eye. They kept him awake and had him look at flash cards and communicate with the nurses in order to make sure they weren’t doing anything to ruin his vision. Can you imagine!? Being awake during brain surgery. Wow. See the full story here.
In other news. I also came across this amazing artist named Phil Hanson. His art is unorthodox, but amazing nonetheless. Quite a talent. Check out the video.
This is a line from a song that friend of mine posted on her blog and I’ve been praying it everyday since I read it. Because…well, because I just needed to, I guess. It’s a good line to pass on.
”Gather my insufficiencies and place them in Your hands…place them in Your hands.”
Lately I’ve been thinking about this idea of me being a light to the world. It’s a huge responsibility. Something not to be taken lightly. I was reminded of this in one of the strangest ways recently.
A young woman named Justine is part of a growing group of people who are “lifecasting.” I don’t know if you’ve heard of this, but it’s worth checking out, it’s actually oddly addicting. tastyblogsnack.com/live is the live webcast of Justine’s life. She has a web cam that she takes with her during her daily activities (getting coffee, working at her desk, going to clubs) and she willingly and happily broadcasts her life over the internet for the world to see.
She carries on conversations with people that are in her chat room talking and answers questions in real time, she’s just a free lance video editor who has a slightly odd passion for internet, I guess.
What’s interesting to me is that when I started asking myself if I were to broadcast my life over the internet and people could see what I do when no one else is around, what would they see? The answers made me think.
Of course, I would want people to see the same thing they see when I walk into a room ready to hang out, work, go out, whatever. Is that what they would see?
What would they see in you?
It’s questions like these that actually have me considering this lifecasting thing. My life should be an example. An example of the grace of God, the love of God, the passion of Jesus Christ and His saving power.
In reality, my life is on display everywhere I go. So is yours.
I was going to pick up some pizza today to take back to the SafeHouse and when I passed Giant Eagle, I saw a guy going in that had a beard that looked eerily similar to the beard protrayed in the commercial below. I just thought it was something worth sharing. No kidding, the guy’s beard looked like this, only whiter.
I don’t know what it is. But this girl in the DLP commercials freaks me out. Maybe it’s the fact that she is so knowledgeable about high def TV technology, or maybe it’s the fact that she is standing next to a 5-ton elephant. Is the elephant supposed to look better in high def? Either way, it’s freaky. But oddly enough, I kinda want a DLP TV.
It was great being in church today. We missed three weeks when we were on vacation and it was nice to be back with our community of fellow believers. You don’t realize how important it is to worship with a community of people until you are away from it and come back to it. I missed my extended family. I’m glad to be back.
I finally got the inside of my car cleaned today. It was a beautiful day and I was bored, so I decided to spend some time outside cleaning. You would be surprised how much dirt, grime and dust gets collected in between washes. It’s gross. But anyway, my car is clean now and I’m excited.
