Holiness

I've been thinking about the song by Sonic Flood called, "Holiness." Lately I've been coming into contact with people - well-meaning people - who are a little off track. They want to do this or that good thing, but they have hidden reasons for their actions. Private agendas. A personal benefit of some sort for the good that they are doing. I confess, I've even seen the tendency in myself. I think it's easy to rationalize the goodness of the act, but in doing so, we're really lying to ourselves.

The song has been playing in my head over and over as I am praying this evening. It says, " Holiness is what I long for; holiness is what I need. Holiness is what You want for me." I always change the word "want" for the word "ask." I think holiness is a choice

Surely Not

For some crazy reason, as I'm driving down the road on yet another volleyball carpool errand, this old Gospel song keeps running through my mind. Words were written by Reverend Josiah Alwood around 1880, but the song has been recorded by Toby Keith, Willie Nelson, Brenda Lee, Randy Travis and Jim Brown to name a few.

Oh, the land of cloudless days
Oh, the land of an uncloudy sky
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day.
 
I THINK I'VE FOUND THAT PLACE!

Just For Fun - Father's Day Special

Got to see this video at church this morning and happened to find it on youtube! So hysterical, it certainly mirrors my hubby's fatherhood. It deserved to be shared!



This is full of comical things, but they are so true to life for most dads. What are some things that should be added?
