Sonrise

The darkness was thick. So thick you could feel it. Death was empowered.
Despair ruled the day. Evil smiled and Hell rejoiced.

The Light had been extinguished.

His plan – so daring and carefully planned – had been thwarted. Perhaps He
wasn’t so Almighty and All-Powerful after all. The only thing left to decide was
what to do next. How can we capitalize on this incredible victory?

And then it happened…..

At first it was just a low rumble – like distant thunder. But soon there was no
denying it. Something had happened. Something big. In an instant – darkness
was scattered, death was defeated, despair was decimated, evil was dealt a
mortal blow and Hell was brought to it’s knees.

The Son came out.

“I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in me will live, even though he dies”
–Jesus

This is a snow drift in front of the door at our church building.  It was about 4 feet high.  The guys who do our snow removal did a great job clearing the parking lot, sidewalks… and the doorways!

As you can see, we spent our Sunday digging out from the Blizzard of 2008.  Thankfully, my wife and kids helped out, and I was able to avoid a heart attack.  My kids are out right now building a snow fort in one of those big piles of snow.  I’m sitting on the couch waiting for the Tylenol to kick in.

This is a snow drift in front of our garage.  And it is still snowing!  My son and I were going to attempt to shovel it tonight, but we’re going to wait until tomorrow when it finally stops.   Anyone want to come over and help?

This & That

Twelve of us from church went to the Casting Crowns concert in Columbus last night. It was great! Casting Crowns is one my favorite bands, and they put on a great show. It was more like worship than a concert. My only disappointment was that they didn’t do the song “Father, Spirit, Jesus” — one of my favorite Casting Crowns songs. The opening act was “Leeland” and they were very good — I was not familiar with their music.

This morning I had the opportunity to speak at Ashland Theological Seminary’s chapel service. It was a really good experience. ATS is a great place and I’m thankful that they asked me to come and speak. I got home as the snow was arriving. We’re expecting a ton of the stuff before tomorrow night. More shoveling. Sheesh! It is time for winter to end!
