Short thought

If Christ is the second Adam, then the Church is the second Eve. So through the Lord's Supper God is creating a bride for His Son, from His Son.

Snow, Trees and Advent

Ahhh... it finaly arrived, our first real snow. While it's not a marshmallow world yet I have faith.
So now it's time for the tree, the last two years we've gone with Rebekah's family to get our tree at the Camden Ranch Tree Farm but they are closed for two years to let the trees grow back, so we will probably go to Huckaba's in Greenbluff. We are also breaking tradition and getting ours now so we can go with the fam later as Rick & Rachel will be here and we don't want to miss any visiting time with them.
And to top everything off Advent starts tommorrow!!!!!!! Those who don't like the winter must be crazy, I mean what's not to like? All the wonderful Advent celebrations and snow( yes I'm an adult and not only that, I drive for a living so there!).
Christ is born! Glorify Him!

"With my eyes closed"

I guess we all must learn to pray with our eyes closed but tonight, after a big day(Peter Roise and Co. feasted with us) Timothy was praying Our Father in his sleep. I guess this means he knows it.

Real christian writing

"We know that God is everywhere; but certianly we feel His presence mostwhen His works are on the grandest scale spread before us; and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel in their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence. I had risen to my knees to pray for Mr. Rochester. Looking up, I, with tear-dimmed eyes, saw the mighty Milky Way. Remembering what it was--what countless systems there swept spacelike a soft trace of light--I felt the might and streangth of God. Sure was I of His efficiency to save what He had made: convenced I grew that neither earth should perish, nor one of the souls it treasured. I turned my prayer to thanksgiving: the Source of Life was also the Savior of spirits. Mr. Rochester was safe: he was God's, and by God he would be guarded."

In the year that King Uzziah died...

Today(and looking at our recent election history, the next week or so) is a good time to remember one of God's lessons to us through Isaiah. No matter what man rises to "power" we should remember that YAWEH our God controls him, and all that happens is to beautify His bride and glorify His name.
