We attended Meerdith’s first violin performance. It was very enjoyable. Her instructor is good. He got the audience involved. Each kid had a parent join them and taught them how to play the violin. Meredith is a good teacher.
It is the season…
a wonderful refuge from a frantic and hysterical world as we remember and anticipate the advent of the Savior of the world.
Happy??? Birthday CLARK!
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only [Son], who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
No one has ever seen God, but the one and only [Son], who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
… in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.
The living God is like Jesus.
One person has observed that non-Christian people, when asked “Who is the most Christ-like person you know of”? most often answered Gandhi. It is ironic, that for many, the image of Christ [God] is a Hindu.
A recent conversation centered on the difficulty of communicating the Gospel to deeply secular people. Perhaps, a starting point to address that delimma can be found in the assertion: It is time to stop saying that Jesus is like God and start saying that God is like Jesus.
Yesterday we had the opportunity to attend Ryan’s first official wrestling competition. This is his first year to wrestle and he is getting a good start. His last match he pinned his opponent. I suspect that now that he has gotten a tatse of victory it will make him a better wrestler. He has a great attitude and I could see improvement with each match yesterday.
