Defiance

January 20, 2009 · 2 Comments

Last night we went to see the movie Defiance. It is rated R for violence and language, but it is a movie I totally recommend to anyone. We took our teenagers to see it and they were deeply impacted.

Defiance is a true story of a band of Belorussian Jews during WWII. Courageously, in the face of great loss, they hid and survived the holocaust unleashed by Nazi Germany.

Everyone came away with the deep sense that once again, believers will be called upon to protect and defend God’s chosen people from those who are demonically inspired to exterminate them. We talked about our responsibility to the Jewish people and talked about Romans 11 which tells us that a day is coming when ALL of Israel will be saved.

There is a fabulous LIFE message within the movie too. Funny…pro-life in the face of a culture of death. satan tries to wipe out the innocent and God’s chosen over and over. I’d have to agree with Solomon, “there is nothing new under the sun”.

God bless and protect all the Children of Israel. Lost and found.

Roar!

January 15, 2009 · 1 Comment

Job 37:1-5
“At this also my heart trembles,
And leaps from its place.
“Listen closely to the thunder of His voice,
And the rumbling that goes out from His mouth.
“Under the whole heaven He lets it loose,
And His lightning to the ends of the earth.
“After it, a voice roars;
He thunders with His majestic voice,
And He does not restrain the lightnings when His voice is heard.
“God thunders with His voice wondrously,
Doing great things which we cannot comprehend.

I was catching up on Randy Bohlender’s blog the other day and happened across this entry.

I’m going to paste the whole entry also.

There Comes a Roar
Posted on January 9, 2009 by randybohlender
I was jolted out of my half-sleep this morning over coffee and a bagel as I scanned the news. There, among the earthquake reports in California and the airing of varies celebrities’ escapades, a headline jumped out at me.

FOXNews – Mystery Roar Detected From Faraway Space
It seems that the 213th annual meeting of the American Astronomer’s Society is abuzz with the discovery of a very loud, unidentifiable, other-worldy sound.

In Astronomy, variations are often described in minute increments. One degree of difference spread over a light year makes a big difference. Measurements are very precise and meaningful…so when they describe this sound as six times brighter than all radio waves in the universe, they’re not speaking in hyperbole.

Scientists are not sure where it’s coming from. They’re not sure what it means. But they’re sure as heck not denying it. Something or someone just cranked the cosmic subwoofer to 11 and it is pounding loud and proud.

NASA Astronomer Alan Kogut says “Something new and interesting going on in the universe.”

Can we all just agree that Alan can be dubbed Captain Obvious? I showed that quote to my friend, Hal, who rolled his eyes and said “I could have told him that.”

They’re saying there aren’t enough stars in the universe to make a sound like this. Where ever it’s coming from, it’s beyond the stars in scope.

It transcends the universe as we know it, and it’s roaring to us.

There is a sound coming to this earth. It is a sound that has not been heard before. It’s been called the roar of many waters. A sound like a trumpet. It will resonate with that which resonates with it, and it will shatter that which does not.

People get ready. The experts tell us that something new and interesting is going on in the universe. And our spirit knew it all along.

Does your heart resonate? Do you know that nothing combined in this universe is as mighty, majestic and vast as our GOD? Do you know that He has not left us as orphans, but that He is returning to this planet, our home?

My heart resonates! My heart sings at the sound of His ROAR!

Pounding Loud and Proud…Here comes the Lion of the tribe of Judah! Let us go out to meet Him!

Purse – NO MORE!

January 7, 2009 · 1 Comment

Ok, that little “life changing” experiment was not a success. There are those who will tell me the purse was not “cute” enough, but the whole thing was a hassle. It wasn’t wheter or not it looked good. It was a question of functionality combined with ease of use. Digging around in the bottom to find the item I needed just produced a ton of frustration not efficiency.

Ah, but thanks to my dear son, I am now entering the small back pack stage. Actually I found the one I wanted at the store on December 23, and since he was still trying to figure out what to get me…I was able to send him to the correct isle at Lewis. And what a bonus; it was on clearance for $10. Everybody won on that one.

Little pockets are much better for finding things as well as having big compartments for my bible and stuff. Besides if we move into the adoption stage, then I’ll already be carrying a diaper bag.

Give it three months and we’ll see how it works out.
