Stuff That Matters in Life

“We will not hide them from their children;

we will tell the next generation

the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,

his power, and the wonders he has done…

Then they would put their trust in God

and would not forget his deeds

but would keep his commands”

Ps 78

It’s a curse and a blessing to be forgetful. I can keep a short record of wrong because I don’t remember them. But I also don’t remember the good things. With the aid of blogging, I can record for posterity the good in my life, specifically how God has answered our prayers. May my children be blessed as they read here the reality of God in our family through the good times and the bad. May they put their trust in HIm, and not forget His deeds.

This was especially shaped by Amy for Audrey’s birthday last year, 2005.

The VeggieTales version of the book of Esther in the Bible is the best!

Their version of Jonah in the Bible is great too.

What I like about VeggieTales is their accurate interpretation of the message in those two books of the Bible. While there are multiple lessons to be gained from every Bible account, VeggieTales’ emphasis is right on. I love the great theology so creatively presented. I am never tired of watch VeggieTales. We have quite a collection. But those 2 are my favorites, so far.

If you plan to watch them, read those books in the Bible first. Then you will really appreciate VeggieTales. You gotta love the Silly Songs…

I am happy when

my husband and children are happy.

I see people remain faithful to God in the midst of difficult circumstances.

dots connect with amazing coincidences and everything turns out well.

someone shows interest in knowing more about Jesus.

I finish something by the deadline.

my client is appreciative of my hard work for him as an agent.

I receive a compliment for doing something I didn’t think anyone noticed.

Another 49-cent movie yesterday – we watched Memoirs of a Geisha. I read the book a while back, and knew what to expect. I don’t like to be surprised in movies. I am scared of surprises and bad endings. The movie was nicely done. The cruel and sex parts of the books were not overplayed, which was good.

No matter how good the movie, the book is always better. A movie just cannot develop the depth of characters like a book can. I always much rather read the book than see the movie. The exception is when they write a book based on a movie. Those books are always bad.
