Nueva Semana

New Week! Thank God for the past one! Well let me start by commenting on the Mavs. That was a close loss yesterday. We had the game, dominated throughout and lost! Man...not cool! Bad week for Dallas! :-) Anyways ODB verse of the day:

Let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, . . . stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. —Philippians 1:27

Yielding your all to the Savior
And letting His love flow through you
Makes even your silent witness
A witness of what God can do. —Bosch

Amen to that! Peace!

It's over!

That was a terrible way to end the season. We were almost there! Almost....! Oh well its all good, maybe next season eh? Go Cowboys!!! Had a great time yesterday over @ Sam's place. Good food, good work out. It was really cold and we played in an open court! Not sure about the others, but I had a great work out...we might play again today! Anyways need to run and get ready for church! First Sunday of the Year! But before I go, the ODB verse of the day!

What is man that You are mindful of him? —Psalm 8:4

Father, thank You that You have made us the objectof
Your love. We are amazed at Your forgiveness
and grace. Help us to see ourselves as small
and to marvel at Your great love.
Powerful verse! Reminds us how small we are and at the same time it reminds us how big and mighty is the GOD we believe and serve! What a love! Perfect!
Peace!

Mavs all the way!

Did you see Dirky? 36 points, season high against the SPURS!! Hahahaha! Amazing! Overjoyed!
Anyways it was a good day yesterday, got some important issues solved @ work! Good way to wrap up the week. Well it is Saturday today! Well today is lil' Nathan's birthday. So going to Allen, followed by some basketball with the boys. Should be fun! And its supposed to be a cold one today! We'll see how it goes.

Today's ODB reading:

She, out of her poverty put in all that she had. —Mark 12:44

If you cannot give your thousands,
You can give the widow’s mite,
And the least you do for Jesus
Will be precious in His sight. —Anon.

No words to describe this. All I can say is "I am guilty". Need to give more! One of those things you always know, but choose not to do. Not Good!

Peace!

Wow It's Friday!

I know! That was a fast week, but no complaints here! :-) Well had a good day yesterday amidst a lot of issues @ work! And God proved to me yet another time that HE is the MAN!! Something that we were praying for, for a while, happened so smoothly and subtly yesterday! Awesome God! And today's ODB reading says the same too!

[Abraham] believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness. —Genesis 15:6

Not so in haste, my heart!
Have faith in God, and wait;
Although He seems to linger long,
He never comes too late. —Torrey

Yes Sir! It is always worth the wait! Might be a few pointless innings, but a home run is coming! So Hang in There!!!

And the Mavs beat the Pacers last night! GO MAVS!

Peace!

What worse could happen?

Whats up Y'all? Yesterday was a very very challenging day @ work! A lot of issues! I almost gave up! But by God's grace was able to cruise past it and was able to solve most issues. Sometimes its easy to give up when we face problems and impossible situations, but it is wiser to push on. The evil ones wants us to give up, but hey, whats the fun in that? I guess we need to develop an attitude of "What worse could happen?" And I guess answering that question in any situation will help you focus on the present and help you just zip past the mountain in no time. Its never easy, but I am sure it is worth the try!

Today's ODB reading,

By faith Abraham obeyed . . . . And he went out, not knowing where he was going. —Hebrews 11:8

Someday my earthly house will fall
I cannot tell how soon ’twill be;
But this I know—my All in All
Has now a place in heaven for me. —Crosby

Peace!

Hump Day!

Well the first working day of the year was phenomenal. My wife felt much better and she was up and running yesterday! Is that cool or what? PTL!!!

Anyways new day new mercies! Today's ODB reading verse is awesome man:

Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. —Colossians 3:2

I bet that will solve most of the problems of this world - cos the minute you stop focussing on the things of the world, you lose your pride and the minute you lose your pride and ego, no more arguments, no more wars, no more heartaches, no more worries. Simple but yet almost impossible to achieve. Nevertheless, we need to not stop pursuing it. I am sure it will all be worth it in the end!

Peace!
