Things That Don't Make Sense To Me
I enjoyed this post by Jeana over at the blog Days to Come. Even though she's writing from the perspective of a wife/mother I can relate to her list of "Things That Don't Make Sense To Me"...
1. How having four children quadrupled the love I have for my kids instead of dividing it into four.
2. How focusing on meeting my husband's needs results in my needs getting met.
3. Why having a lot of "me" time tends to make me more self-centered, not less.
4. Why serving other people makes me more content, not less.
5. How spending time with God usually results in me accomplishing more that day, not less.
6. Why exercising gives me more energy, and not exercising makes me more tired.
7. How submitting to God's will brings freedom rather than confinement.
8. Why things that taste good often are not good for me.
9. Why having fewer things makes me enjoy them more--and vice versa.
10. How I can know all of these things are true and too often behave as though they are not.

Christianity Today Reviews Lu: The Na Band, fronted by Devon Kauflin who leads worship at our church, had its album reviewed by CT. The reviewer states that the album is "far from your typical corporate praise album, Looked Upon and its indie-styled hymnody are best suited for times of prayer and personal devotions." He also says it has a shoe-gazer quality throughout, but we won't draw attention to that.
Entrusted with the Gospel: The Gospel Coalition National Conference is scheduled for April 21-23, 2009 in Chicago. I love the theme "Living the Vision of 2 Timothy." I'll be doing a seminar. Hope to see you there.
Song I Can't Stop Singing: It's done my soul good to sing the song Glorious and Mighty from the Sovereign Grace Psalms album. It's sung by my friend Missy Farmer. More...

Thank you for sharing this, Mr. Harris=)
These things that don't make any sense to normal humans actually make sense to God's chosen people...because we have the eyes to see and the ears to hear...God's amazing grace was shed on us that we may enjoy all that God has to offer=) How thankful I am...and how convicted I feel to share the good news with everyone I meet--strangers and friends alike.
love to live for God,
Sarah
