Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday Mom! Don't worry, I won't say how old you are...I want to live to see my next birthday.

This is Our God

I've been listening to the brand new Hillsong CD/DVD, "This is Our God."

I've already blogged about one of the songs on the album called Healer. I have to say that this song is powerful and the story behind it is unbelievable too. Take a few minutes to check out my previous post and watch these videos. There is also a companion site where you can share your prayer request and praise reports. I'm hearing a lot about this song through the blog world, it seems that this song is really "blowing" up around churches.

But the stories behind this new worship album don't stop there. Check out the following story behind one of the other songs called "Desert."



Wow, another huge story behind another great song.

And it may just be me, but I can't really tell the difference between the United albums and the Hillsong Church albums. And in my opinion that's a good thing.

Monday Morning

This is how we started our week off today:





I must admit, my wife and kids got the worst of it.

How did you start yours?

Forgiveness

"Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it."
Mark Twain

Forgiveness is a decision that we make.
Forgiveness is making the decision that someone doesn't owe you anymore.
Forgiveness doesn't make any sense unless you are a forgiven person.

Who do you need to forgive?

The Dentist

Monday at around 9 Am here is the conversation we had with the kids:

"Guess what we're doing today?"
"What dad?"
"We're going to the dentist in an hour!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

We just knew that it would be such a popular decision with the kids we decided to let them know after they were dressed and ready for the day. I know, we're so sneaky.

It would be the first trip for my son at the dentist, so he was a little worried. But he was able to watch his sister in the chair first so he did a great job when it was his turn.



And another funny thing happened. My daughter had several teeth that were loose going into the day and the dentist offered to pull them out for her in order to allow the new teeth to grow in straight. So, after all of that here is her new smile:



But just so you know that we're not horrible parents we celebrated with the kids after their appointments. It was McDonald's for lunch and then off to Exploration Place to have some fun.

Had a good day.
