Watching this video made me think of how God must feel when we try to imitate Him.
I’m convinced that when we try to imitate God’s love and mercy – with all our flaws and limitations – God smiles and says, ‘Beautiful, just beautiful!’
That’s what I thought when I watched this video.
Enjoy, and smile, and keep on singing God’s love to the world with all your heart!

Bill Hybels shares a story of the life-changing experience of one man who makes times for God each day.
Do you have a chair, a place, where you spend time with God?
“We always have time for the things we value!”

Lately I have been encouraging people to spend time in the bible listening for what God is saying to them.
I know what I mean when I say ‘God speaks to us’, but I’m starting to wonder if others know what it means.
I want to start a conversation here, and hope people will participate, to share their ideas.
The whole concept is cliche among Christians, yet I wonder if it is an actual experience among them?
What does it mean to you to hear God?
Does the idea make sense to you, or is it something you’ve never experience before?
Was it an actual voice, or an impression, a prompting, an inward whisper in the mind?
Please join the conversation by leaving a comment!

This is a new song we sang on Sunday.
It speaks to experiencing God’s presence and power in the midst of life’s crashing waves.
Find a quiet place, turn off the lights, and allow the message of this song to draw you in, and up!
When oceans rise, my soul will rest in Your embrace, for I am Yours and You are mine!
** NOTE ** It’s 9 minutes long, and may not be everyone’s worship style.

Not sure if you’ve been reading through Ecclesiastes.
Did anyone else find it depressing?

All share a common destiny—the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. (Ecclesiastes 9:2)
Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun—all your meaningless days. (Ecclesiastes 9:9)
As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so people are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them. (Ecclesiastes 9:12)
Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good. (Ecclesiastes 9:18)
However many years anyone may live, let them enjoy them all. But let them remember the days of darkness, for there will be many. Everything to come is meaningless. (Ecclesiastes 11:8)
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”. (Ecclesiastes 12:1)
“‘Meaningless! Meaningless!’ says the Teacher. ‘Everything is meaningless!'” (Ecclesiastes 12:8)
