This song moves me in ways words can't describe..

Lyrics
Calloused and bruised/ dazed and confused
My Spirit is left wanting something more
Than my selfish hopes/ and my selfish dreams
I’m lying

I love this song! How true...

Blessings to you little Ethan and Family...

Lyrics

I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

That is a statement my sister would have said a few years back. And, even today she still may say it. I suppose many people in the USA feel the same way.

Yes, my daughter brings me more joy than I could have ever imagined. She is a wonderful child. Yes, she does give us problems but the joy she brings over shadows the grief infinitely - at times :)

She is now beginning to understand that she can't explain everything in words. So, what does she do to get us to understand? She pulls us to where she wants something done! I feel like a dog being pulled by my master. I say that laughingly but the thought did occur while I was being showed what she wanted and could not speak.

I just wanted to share with the online world another testimony that God answers prayer! Ok, so here is what happened.

Last Wednesday I was sitting at the table talking with my wife. Suddenly the left middle outside area of my back began hurting, pretty intense pain. I shifted my position thinking I was sitting wrong. The pain subsided a bit.

Later in the day it began hurting more, this time, I noticed I found it hard to breathe at times. Ok, I thought, I must have slept wrong or something. I didn't take any medicine, just continued my day. That night I didn't sleep well as it was hard to get comfortable. I didn’t feel refreshed in the morning. The following day, the pain occurred more and was more intense at times. On my scale of pain from one to ten it was now around 7 and sometimes 8. I decided to take Tylenol but it didn't take the pain away.

I like to take the time tonight to share something that happened in church last week. As I have already shared with you, from time to time I have visions, while singing and worshiping God. I can't recall the song that we were singing, but I do remember that my wife and I were holding hands while we were singing it.

From time to time I will be in a deep thought and see some form of vision. This can happen when thinking about a friend, business, or spiritual things. Vision may not be the right word, but what I see is like a video played before my eyes which I do nothing to turn it on.

Yesterday while singing a song about “crowning Him” during church service, this vision thing happened. I saw all these people, men and women, walking around with crowns on their heads. The song was talking about when we meet Jesus in heaven we will be crowning him with many crowns. What that exactly means I can’t say but I do know that if he truly is the King of kings (King of justice, love, common rule, the universe etc) then he will be honored with all types of crowns.
