Andrew this is for you!

What I do for all my friends :)

I hope all of you realize what I do every night before I got to bed.

New section

To all my regular WWM readers (Andrew), I would like to introduce my newest addition to the blog; a poll. Now this is somewhat an experiment, but also an attempt to keep myself updating and keep people coming to the blog. So if you look to the right of the screen you will find the poll question for the week.


Vote away!

Dissappointed

So I have just updated my security settings on my comments. I am somewhat dissapointed because I would like to allow all to comment. But (all) now means hackers/phishers/spam. I guess that is just part of the digital communication age right?
But I love all your thought provoking comments! Keep them comming!

Peace

I am sure most of my regular readers, once again Andrew, know that I am an avid Kansas Jayhawks Basketball fan. And unless you have just been hiding in a dark closet you know Kansas just achieved college basketball royalty by winning the NCAA National Championship!

All I really wanted to do was tell you how excited I am; that's all for now.

I lied...there is one more thing I would like to hit on in this post. I am glad that the lust of money is not that strong for some people. Bill Self, Kansas' head coach, was offered a $6,000,000 signing bonus with a ridiculous $4 million dollar/year contract to become the head coach at his Alma Mater Oklahoma State University. I am proud to say that in this instance money was not the primary focus. Don't get me wrong, Bill Self did get a hefty raise from KU, I believe $1 million a year, but he realized money cannot buy happiness. I mean who would want to leave a program where every year you can expect to contend nationally and get McDonald All-Americans in each recruiting class.

I have never attended a game at Phog Allen Fieldhouse, aka "The Phog", but would imagine there are not many better places in the country to call your home court.

All you need to know is the Rock Chalk Chant!

Roooooocccccckkkkk Chhhaaaaallllkkkkk Jaaaaaayyyyhaaaaawwwkkk K........U.........

Hopefully this won't happen on this blog

My hope is that I do not bore you to death and warrant any responses this futile. But I hope you enjoyed the comedy!

new mobile blog

Rock Chalk Championship!!

Oswald Chambers

I have recently started using a book written by Oswald Chambers in my devotions. The book titled, "Utmost for His Highest" is a wonderful way to think outside of my small scope. The daily entries are simple yet profound at times. I had one of those "I am small" moments today while doing my devotions. The entry for April 9 is titled "Have you seen Jesus?" For most Christians today the answer is probably a quick yes; myself included. Chambers response to this question is quite different. This excerpt says it all:

[You should always recognize the difference between what you see Jesus to be and what He has done for you. If you see only what He has done for you, your God is not big enough. But if you have had a vision, seeing Jesus as He really is, experiences can come and go, yet you will endure "as seeing Him who is invisible" (Hebrews 11:27)]

There are so many things as I look back on the last couple months that I missed seeing Jesus. I think the key is "seeing Him who is invisible" because so much hinges on the fact that Jesus works in the Small everyday mundane things. A small thing from seeing my nephew take his first step and begin his terror being upright and mobile. This could be thought of as simply a natural progression of growing up; but can it be more then that? I think that first step is an amazing example of God's love and beauty. It opens so many new doors for that infant (good and bad) to explore life.

Another example is that fact that I have gas in my car everyday and a house to live in. This entry really challenged me to see God in all things, rather then just when I need God. A question I must ask myself is, what am I going to do with God's blessings in my life? The first step is recognizing them. From that point I must realize that I am simply a steward of God's things. (Believe me, just because I am writing this does not mean I have it figured out. This post is personal conviction I am just expressing in writing. I am striving to work at these things because I don't have them figured out.) With that admission out of the way I can continue.

I would really like to work towards seeing Jesus in every moment of my life. Not trying to over-spiritualize this, but wouldn't that be so joyful to see Jesus everyday!!? To wake up and take that first breath and know Jesus is by my side. When I am driving to work and I see the snow capped Sierra Nevadas, that should remind me of Jesus's love for me.

What it comes down to is, I want to see Jesus!

Blessings!
