Big Baby, tiny baby

I happen to frequent the Drudge Report on a regular basis to keep up on current events and whatnot. Every once in a while, there will be stories posted that are odd, or even amazing. Wednesday evening, I noticed a story about a Big Baby. You can find it here.
Just a short while ago, I noticed a story about a Tiny Baby. You can find it here.

In my heart there rings a melody...

Have you ever had one of those songs stuck in your head? Not one of the obnoxious ones, but a good one, say a worship song. Last Wednesday, I heard that Hillsong came out with another album. I got it and listened to it at work. One song in particular has been stuck in my head and my heart. Here's the words to Saviour King.

Verse 1
And now the weak say I have strength
By the spirit of power that raised Christ from the dead
And now the poor stand and confess
That my portion is ? and I'm more blessed

Pre-chorus
Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for your Son's holy name
And with the heavens we declare
You are our king

Chorus
We love you Lord, we worship you
You are our God, you alone are good

You asked your Son to carry this
The heavy cross our weight of sin

I love you Lord, I worship you
Hope which was lost, now stands renewed
I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the savior king

Verse 2
Let now your church shine as the bride
That you soar in your heart as you offered up your life
Let now the lost be welcomed home
By the saved and redeemed those adopted as your own

Ending
I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the savior king

Going to Work

There are times when going to work isn't fun. I'm sure there are those of you out there that know this feeling: It seems that you can do everything right without recognition or reward, but as soon as you make a mistake(yes I make mistakes ,too), people let you know about it.

I really hate this. Not so much for me being told what i did wrong, but the fact that I get upset and frustrated and come down on myself much harder than most others do.

How do you deal with this, those three of you that might be reading? Here's the best that i can think of.

Slow down...

Take deep breaths...

Remember God is still on the throne...

Deal with the outcome.

Hmm. Remember God is still on the throne. Its kinda funny as even as I type this, that thought puts everything back into perspective. Thanks for listening, I think I'm gonna be okay now.

Going to church

Going to church is a hard thing to do when you work there all week. I have to be honest, I'm a poor attendee of NMC. There are two reasons for this:
A. Its my own fault. I wake up late, miss my alarm clock, and so forth.
B. Its because of work. Its hard to catch a complete service while wearing the pager. There are also more and more instances of people calling me or asking me to take care of something, because the secret is getting out that I work at the church.

In the last month, I've had the opportunity to go to The Connection twice. That makes the Grande total of Connection services I've been to three times (not including the two times I ran Media Shout).

Lately, my boss and i have been trying to get a good schedule so all of us facility people that work on Sundays can have a shot at an uninterrupted service.

In the past three weeks, my hours at the church have been getting little loopy. When can you do when your help decides to go to college? Bit it in a sense has been a blessing as a result. As I have to do more of the grunt work again, I have found myself attending church in Georgia, and California.

Podcasting is a gift from the Almighty. In recent days I've been confronted, convicted, challenged, and encouraged in my life. Now I know its not a replacement for attending a service at NMC, but it has been helping me put church into work during the week, w when at times on Sundays the work takes away from church.

If you are a little sluggish on knowing what podcasts are out there, check out my favorite four...
North Point Community Church - Andy Stanley
Mars Hill Bible Church - Rob Bell
Mosaic - Erwin McManus
Cornerstone Church - Francis Chan
