I Believe

Tonight on my way to the roller skating rink, I heard this song on Air1 radio network (air1.com) that really blessed me. It's called Belive by Mainstay. It really shows how I am reflecting right now as we face a new year.

"I don't know if I still have the strength to get up again
I don't know if I can face my own reflection
Jesus, take this heart that feels so cold again and make it new

I hold this hope inside that you'll never leave me

Chorus:
When all around me starts to fall and when my faith it seems so small
Even in my darkest hour, I will believe
Even if the sun begins to fall, even when I feel nothing at all
Even if I'm all alone, I will believe

I don't know how I could turn my back and walk away
All I really want is for your love to hold me
Jesus, take this heart and make it whole again

Chorus:

I know you'll never leave me"

Label: Chordant (EMI)

Tonight, my sister, cousin and I went to see "PS, I Love You". It was a pretty good movie, better than I thought it would be.

Merry Christmas

Is 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Tonight, my cousin and I went to see the movie "I am Legend".

Forgiveness

Consider these lyrics by Casting Crowns in their song "East to West"

"Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west
'cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other"

Today, my sister, my cousin and I went to see the new "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" movie. It was incredible, very good movie.

What is faith?

I was listening to a radio program and this lady was praying for faith to overcome some challenges. I know that God gives each one of a measure of faith. Without that measure of faith, we could not pray for salvation. Faith in a sense is a spiritual muscle and must be exercised to grow. I believe that the more you trust God with your life, your heart, your desires, your wants and needs, and even with the unseen (the stuff that you don't want anyone else to know about you), that your faith will increase. The hard part is turning over each area of your life to God. If it were easy, it wouldn't require faith.

I'm thinking that forgiveness also comes by faith.

I've been hearing this lyric on the radio a lot and I thought it was a great way to express faith. It's from the Barlowgirl song "I believe in love".

"I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't fell it
And I believe in God even when he's silent"

Today I saw a lady in Wal-Mart wearing a T-Shirt that said "Got Jesus? It's hell without Him." There is a lot of truth in that saying. Not only does faith in Jesus ensure life in Heaven and not Hell. Faith in Jesus can also battle the hell that we face here on Earth in our daily lives.

Wal-Mart also has a TGIF shirt - "Thank God I'm Forgiven" Amen to that!!

Pi Tree

This is the Christmas tree that I had on my desk at school this year. Yes, that is the pi symbol used in math classes. After all, I am a math teacher.

Wise Men (and Women) Still Seek Him

This year, I'm most thankful for the Christ. I am also thankful for my family, friends, and Air1 radio station. Jonah 33 in the song 'God of My Life' sings these words 'I will seek you till I find you'. It's not a Christmas song, but upon reflection I think of the wise men that followed the star and came to Bethlehem seeking the Jesus. I think of how much of my life do I really spend 'seeking' Jesus. Some days I'm really not proud of the answer. This year I'd like to encourage you to journey with me in 'seeking' Jesus. What does that mean to you?

Forgiveness

Isaiah 1:18 (Amplified) Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.

Now whoever did this really knows how to recycle that Mt. Dew. I thought it was great...of course that's probably because I drink Mt. Dew.

Forgiveness

How does one forgive himself?

Forgiveness

Tonight at church, I recognized that even if my church, my family, and my friends don't forgive me, God is faithful and He will always forgive me. His forgiveness is eternal and it's what really matters.

You like to make Christmas about making everyone's life a little bit better. You don't get caught up in greed or commercialism. You're too sincere for that.

Circle or Pi

As a math teacher I get lots of cool email. This last week, I received an email that asks the question, "Which came first, the circle or the pi?" I thought it was pretty clever. Check out the website

What do the holidays mean to you?

What The Holidays Mean to You

For you, the holidays are a very spiritual time. You have as much holiday fun as everyone else - but you never forget what you're celebrating. You celebrate the holidays in a minimalist style. You are likely to only give one great present and decorate your house with a few special items. During the holidays, you feel happily busy. There's so much do to and not a lot of time to do it. But you enjoy every minute of your holiday chores. You think the holidays should be comforting and relaxing. You don't like the holiday rush... you just like the simple pleasure of the holidays. Your best holiday memories are warm and intimate. You remember special moments more than gifts or parties.

Christmas Shopping

Although I've already bought all my Christmas presents, I went today with my mom, sister, neice and nephew to go shopping. Traffic on 71st was bad, even though the mall wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be for a Saturday 17 days before Christmas.
