Letters from Lilongwe

As No Shave November is coming quick I decided to cut my beard before I start fresh on Tuesday.  I have been taking some pictures to keep track of my face during this time.   See below All is Great in the Lord Use the Right and Left arrow keys to see more of my thoughts.

The Best Part of This Sermon http://www.marshillchurch.org/ media/religionsaves/emerging- church 52:40-55:40  WATCH IT!!! To make sure that we clearly declare what it means to be Christian, and so I’ll tell you. There is one God. There is one God and he is the Maker of heaven and earth, and he made us in his image and likeness, male and female, with dignity, value, worth, and purpose. He made us to worship and we chose to sin against him; to rebel against him; to disobey him. As a result, we are separated from God and we live under the foolish myth that, to some degree, we are each our own god declaring right and wrong and living our own life by our own standards, and that God lovingly came into human history as the man, Jesus Christ, fully God, fully man. That he was born of a virgin and he lived a life without sin, though he was tempted in every way as we are, and he went to the cross and there he substituted himself. Our first parents in the garden substituted themselves

I have been listening to Matt Redmans latest album and its blowing me away.  The music is so very powerful and in combination with the lyrics I want to just birst into song here in the CULC. Here are some of the great songs I have been playing over and over again. All is Great in the Lord Use the Right and Left arrow keys to see more of my thoughts.

One morning I was making some lunch at Theta Xi and Shawn McDonald came on the "Frat Top".  His voice captivated and his live album had so much energy and passion.  Soon after I grabbed my flash drive to get the songs for my own computer and I have been listening to his stuff ever since. I also missed the opportunity to listen to him live at the Winshape Freedom Festival.  He played one of the earlier time slots and I missed hearing him tell his testimony.  At nearly every show he tells of how the Lord pulled him out of drug abuse, alchohol abuse and other darkness that was tearing his life apart.  Its a very powerful expression of the reformative powers that the Lord wields in humanity.  Two songs I would love to highlight are "Take My Hand" and "Gravity" All is Great in the Lord Paul Shackelford Use the Right and Left arrow keys to see more of my thoughts.

I am very glad to be able to have a few days off and to come home.  This morning we had a great "Big Breakfast" that consisted of Grits, Biscuits, Sausage, Bacon, and Eggs. After breakfast we headed over to UNC and watched the Drum Line down in The Pit and the band do its warm up.  Then we went in and watch the game and in short UNC played decently bad making a decent Miami team look very good.  Final score of 30-24 does not truly represent the game as a whole. All is Great in the Lord and its Great to be Home
