One Love

The song One Love is an old Bob Marley Song. Marley was a Rastafarian from Jamaica whose music came from the feelings of oppression that the Blacks experienced. I know this isn't a Christian song, and some of the lyrics may not be the best, but there is a message here of unity, that if we as believers could put aside our doctrinal differences and be interested in what God is interested in, we could have a huge impact on the world. Too long we have allowed satan to limit our effectiveness with our Paul/Apollos/Cephas attitudes. God have mercy on us!

A Whole New Level of Old

Last evening we went to Alexia's Christmas program at her school. She is the little one, just left of the cross. It kind of made me feel like an old pappy - going to my granddaughters school program. It is like it is a whole new level of old. Next thing you know, we will be going to her high school graduation.

I Love This Quote

As you may know, I'm somewhat of a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. They are not doing so well, and Mike Tomlin, their coach, has a unique way of explaining the issues. I especially love the following:

"It's appropriate at this point to acknowledge we have an undesirable pattern of behavior, which produces a series of outcomes that are not what we're looking for," Tomlin said a day after his Super Bowl champs lost their fourth consecutive game to slip to 6-6.

Thanksgiving

This year our Thanksgiving was a little different. Michelle and Gwen were spending the day with their in laws. Randy was in Calgary Alberta delivering a truck. So we shared Thanksgiving dinner with some of the folks from the Tuesday night Addicts to Disciples group.
They played Cranium which is just not my type of game - too much thinking involved. But we had a great time.

Later in the evening I went to Philadelphia to pick up Randy at the airport. Our family is getting together Saturday evening to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Its hard to believe, but...

...it was almost 70 degrees here today. After church we drove down to Sonic for lunch and then drove around awhile with the top down.
It isn't as cold as it looks.

Its Fall in PA

Lately I've been walking the Appalachian Trail a few times a week. Here is today's view. The leaves are about all gone. It's kinda depressing actually.

Throne Room

Recently saw this poster in the men's restroom stall at a church that shall remain namesless.
