The Sweetness of Sleep
Sweet black growing so cold
my bones and back getting so old
My arms reach for the deep
All that I desire is sleep
No strength to swim for the light
I've no heart to fight
Goodnight

I Want My Bible Back
Almost a month ago now I left my ESV Bible my wife gave me in San Jose when we were visiting family. I have another one, but it just isn't the same. I have all my notes in my other Bible, all my underlining. I just like my Bible and I want it back. It's like sleeping in a hotel bed for months, and you just want to go home and sleep in your own bed. I want my Bible back!! I think it is going to make it's way here around thanksgiving, but I sure miss it until then.

Learning CSS
Today I have been working ALOT on websites and getting design work together. Mostly though I have been spending time learning CSS so I can help my little bro out with the programming side of web design life. I much prefer the actual designing rather than the programming, but, all in all, it was still kind of fun learning about it. I was learning on a web site that we are building for the Tulare EV Free church. If you want to see it just click here It doesn't look like much yet, but I will get there... I hope.

The Mother of Invention
Perhaps necessity should be the father of invention and joy should be the mother. The seed today of looking through and digesting 1 John was the necessity of getting ready for Sunday School, but what made it grow, and develop, and turn into something that had substance and usefulness instead of simply a product, was the nurturing hand of the joy that I found in the task at hand. So enjoyment surly must be the mother of invention and necessity the father.
Scripture is Great!
The word of God is truly wonderful! I am teaching from 1 John in Sunday School, so I have been really trying to tear into the meat of the text and I LOVE it! Wow, what a true delight scripture is when we pour our soul into it and beg God to fill us with it. Don't simply read scripture, tear it apart, analyze it, love it, ask it questions. It's so great!!!
Yay Prop 8
Well, one out of three of my wish list, I guess it could be worse. Breaks my heart what will soon happen to this country. On the flip side, I must also agree with many of the Christians I have talked to. That if persecution comes, and this country gets blacker and even more Godless, than the glory of the Gospel of Jesus Christ will shine all the brighter. We are not of this world, and maybe our country has let us become to comfortable in this place. I know I have already become "less attached" to this country and world as I anticipate the atrocity of abortion that will soon increase to an even greater degree. I can see the loss of what small amount of Biblical principles and wisdom that we retain in this country, we will soon go the way of European socialism, and at it's root atheistic Marxism. Alas, we are not in this world for comfort, but to fight the good fight, to demonstrate the glory of God, and to receive the price when we find ourselves before the throne of God.

George Mueller is great!
Here is an excerpt from George Muller that I am going over with my youth staff tonight.
"Now that God has taught me this point," (To start his personal time with reading rather than prayer) " it is as plain to me as anything that the first thing the child of God has to do morning by morning is to obtain food for the inner man. As the outward man is not fit for work for any length of time, except we take food, and as this is one of the first things we do in the morning, so it should be with the inner man. We should take food for that, as everyone must allow. Now what is the food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the word of God; and here again, not the simple reading of the word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering over it, and applying it to our hearts.
