That’s right we adopted another dog… she’s pretty cute… and mischievous. Her name is Bella – she’s a 7 month year old Shiba Inu

So we just got our DirectTV back after a couple months of going without TV…  here one of the things we started doing late at night at Mikey’s expense… he has way too much energy.

Last weekend was pretty busy – on Friday we did a youth rally with some of my friends from Bethel Lutheran and Huntington Baptist Church – along with John Bernor and his youth group. On Sunday night – we had a really great kids program – check out some pictures in the video above.

So, for our Sunday Night The Way Worship – we’ve been looking at some of the Psalms in detail and thinking about how the Psalmist worships God. We’ve been challenging each other to write music from these Psalms and sing them together – The recording (above) is our first take on some good words – maybe when we finish writing more, we’ll try and do a better recording of it – but it gives some idea of what we’re doing.

Refuge And Strength

Be Still and Know I am God (3x)

(Instrumental Chorus)
V1 -
A river flows whose living streams
blesses the city of our God
The place where heaven’s glory dwells

(Prechorus)
So Fear Not, Don’t lose heart
remember,  God’s with us

Chorus
God is our refuge and our strength
In our distress a present aid
Our God will set the world to rest
Be still and know that He Is God!

v2
The nations rage,  the whole world shakes
His voice goes forth – the conflict breaks
From earth the scourge of war he takes

v3
God is with us, We will not move
In all the earth his pow’r is known
And in my heart his glory shown.

It’s true – among many other visitors Easter week we had two very big domestic turkeys sauntering through our front yard. Ashley was locked the door because being paralyzed by her fear of birds. Sam’s inclination to chase live food items made him run around trying to catch a turkey to eat. And Mikey always assumes that every creature is a fun-loving puppy to play with.

Turkey makes Mikey the Dog very tired… yes… this is Mikey looking sleepy… you should see him when he looks awake.

I helped make a promo video for Dix Hill ’s Easter Sermon Series – could be an interesting couple weeks.

Pastor Steve will be preaching on:

Who Are You, Jesus?- April 5 – With so many ancient documents uncovered, we must separating Fact and Fiction

What Really Happened to the Body? – April 12 – The tomb was empty – how?

Eye-witness Accounts Explained – April 19 – Jesus appeared to many people after his crucifixion…there must be a logical explanation that fits the evidence.

Evidence that Demands a Verdict – April 26 – Circumstantial evidence by itself may not prove a case, but adds support to existing conclusions.

All great stuff to think about in the season of Easter.

Funniest Youtube Video I’ve seen in a while

Embracing Accusation
So, thanks to Mikey I’ve had this song going over and over in my head – frankly, I wasn’t a fan of the sound until I saw the words, and heard the chorus. But wow… def
worth a listen to.

I helped make this video with the Arter’s Kids… pretty cute.
