April 29, 2003 Mountain Dancer
There is no longer a mountain to climb
For we have ascended it once for all time
The mountain is holy mount calvary
There where the Holy One died for me.
The mountain of God is the place of new birth.
The mountain of God filling up all the earth
So weve entered into the cleft in the Rock
The place of new pastures for all of His flock
Come dance on the mountain of mercy
Beside the crystal sea
Come dance on the mountain of mercy
Where God calls the tune and we can be free
Beautiful feet dance on the mountain of mercy
Beautiful feet run the race
Beautiful feet dance in the rain of forgiveness
Beautiful feet bringing the message of grace!
There is no more ascending for we have a seat
In the heavenly places at Jesuss feet
For clean hands and pure hearts are what hell provide
So we may stand blameless at Jesuss side
So lets sing good tidings and tell of His peace
A song of salvation and His reigns increase
Well dance on the mountains with beautiful feet
Til he comes back to make His Kingdom complete!
Come dance on the mountain of mercy
Beside the crystal sea
Come dance on the mountain of mercy
Where God calls the tune and we can be free
Beautiful feet dance on the mountain of mercy
Beautiful feet run the race
Beautiful feet dance in the rain of forgiveness
Beautiful feet bringing the message of grace!

April 28, 2003 An Examined Life?
Here are the persona questions I considered today...
Are the things I think of as positive- that I slip into
taking pride in- really wastes of time and preoccupational?
WHY didn't I even THINK about God until I got in traffic
this AM? I'm slipping.
Was my time of confession and repentance this weekend
worthwhile or was I being disingenuous?
Why do I go into a tailspin for a time everytime my
wife is away for a few days? Am I being codependent or just missing her?
Which am I best at- knowing stuff about the Word and
God or knowing God Himself through the Word?
Why do I own so many books?
Why is it that everytime I throw something a way or
pass it along, a present need for it comes up within a few days? Am I
imagining or just don't want to let go?
If I am clinging to stuff and failing to have a generous
enough spirit, what will it take for me to overcome this fault?
Some days, I fear the biggest question Iask is"How
much do YOU pay for cable?" |

Diagnostic
Questions for Disciples- used in one of the DT classes Iled.
The following questions are for the sake of meditation
and discussion...
1. What do you value most in a relationship? Does that apply to your relationship
with GOD?
2. What keeps you from spending time with God? Can you say you have ever
tasted and seen that He is good?
3. What is the difference in true and false guilt? Have you experienced
either recently?
4. Has there been a time this week when God touched your heart? A time
when you touched Gods heart?
5. If you were to wake up tomorrow and immediately be able to display
one kind of spiritual fruit, what would that be? Have you asked God to
do that through you? Should you?
6. Are there people you envy enough that you would like to exchange lives
with them?
7. If you knew Christ would return next week, what would you do?
|
8. What is the greatest accomplishment of your
life? How did you accomplish it?
9. When were you last in a fight? Were you abiding at the time?
10. Do you have any specific long term goals? Do you ever desire holiness? |
11. Has your life ever been changed drastically by some seemingly random
influence?
12. Where would you place yourself if you could choose to be anywhere
on a scale from 1-10 with 1 being a life of hardship, struggle and accomplishment,
and 10 being a life of ease, comfort and pleasure but no accomplishment?
13. If 100 people were chosen at random, how many of them would you think
youd find living a more satisfying life than you?
14. Do you find it so hard to say no that you regularly
do things that you dont want to do? Is that bad or good?
15. Do you feel you have had much impact on people you come in contact
with? How would you know?
16. Have you ever made a major decision, changed jobs or locations for
purely financial reasons?
17. Would you be willing to do something that is very unsatisfying for
a number of years if you were certain the experience would inevitably
bring you a deep sense of personal fulfilment for the rest of your life?
18. Do you ever try to picture God in your mind? What do you see?
19.What does it take to give your life significance?
20. Do you think you can really get to know God in a deeply personal way?
Or is he too transcendent?
21. What does it mean in practical terms that Christ indwells you?
22. What is more important -what we know about God or how we feel about
Him? Is there a difference in knowing God and knowing about God?
23. It sounds very spiritual to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness?
How do you do that in practical terms?
24. Is it possible to be too spiritual?
25. How do YOU find the balance between reverence for and intimacy with
God?
April 28, 2003 How to find
your Inner Sponge
LaTimes
story-The cartoon dreamed up for kids has turned out to be a kind
of brain balm for stressed-out grown-ups, folks who are tired of swimming
with the sharks, of dealing with red alerts, job wars, Enron. People who'd
like to get away from it all--at least from the neck up.

Thanks to a friend I have SpongeBob and Karate Chop
Sandy added to my desk collection. Though I admit I am too dense to figure
out what 's Shakin' about Shakin' Spongebob .But people want my Tshirt
everytime I wear it to the gym... sooo maybe I'll have to stop cause it
causes them to covet. Don't want to be responsible for folks breaking
the tenth commandment....
April 28, 2003 Doings
Got my mini recording studio set up last nite to lay
down some more tracks on recently written songs. Actually its a little
Mackie and reverb unit along with a couple of good mics and a lavolier
and a Mac. So I'll have to hold off on the air conditioner cause of the
noise for now. Earnie went to KY to attend to he Mom's surgery. I'm still
in town until Thursday as we are interviewing for the SID position which
will hopefully get my vocational life back in balance after these months
of filling two positions. Whew!
Called on a violin for sale- new and never used the
guy said, but he was out of town with an El Paso cellphone number, though
he said he lived in the area. When I told him I could wait until
he got back in town cause I was leaving for vacation this week-I got the
runaround. Sounds kinda fishy.
