STAR

December 6, 2009

Tonight, our church held its annual children's Christmas program. Each year, the Sunday school children put on a play about the birth of Jesus.


They also try to include the younger ones. Last year, Nathan was supposed to be part of the play. But he didn't like that idea. He didn't like getting on stage and he definitely didn't like the idea of having to say lines in front of so many people. He was 2, so of course, that's understandable.

This year, his little Sunday school class got to hold up signs and say one-liners.


Each of the girls said these lines:

S for Saviour
T for good Tidings
A for Angels
R for Redeemer

And my little guy (oh mi goodness I just realized he was the only boy in the class) said:

STAR! Merry Christmas Everyone!

I am so proud of him. He went up on stage all by himself. He didn't need me to stand behind him. He held his sign high so everyone could see. And he said his line into the mic.


Merry Christmas everyone, indeed! I am starting to feel the spirit of Christmas.

Remember...

Overheard at the dinner table (yeah, we ate dinner super early today):

Nathan: Dad, can I have a fry?

*Pause*

Nathan: Remember... God likes it when we share our blessings!

Simple Is Better

October 19, 2009

I hate just sitting here watching my life pass me by, all these minutes and seconds gone to waste. I don't want to sit here and envy other people's lives and successes anymore. I want to learn to slow down, and not to always be in a rush. And I'm pretty sure there are others of you out there who feel the same way!

I don't usually do this, but I really enjoyed listening to this sermon series I discovered through on of the design blogs I follow. I think the message here is really applicable to anyone's life, regardless of if you believe in God or not, and I found it really helpful so I thought I might share it with you.

The series was entitled "Simple", from Cross Timbers Community Church in Texas.

You can find it here.

Give it a listen, maybe it'll change your life.
