Brian Williams raps

Jimmy Fallon put together this video making it seem like Brian Williams is rapping. I can't get enough of this video...so funny. I love all kinds of rap (old and new), I will definitely teach baby boy to be lover of all music types.

 

For Loss

I am a fairly sensitive person, I always have been.  I get caught up in not only my own feelings but the feelings of others.  I have a deep sadness this week in the wake of yet another tragedy that took many lives way too early. 

I know that God too is weeping along with the families in Connecticut this week.  It gives me great hope for humanity when people join together to mourn with those who are experiencing loss. 

Here is a video from "The Voice" this week:

Anniversary

This week I celebrate 6 years of marriage to Brett. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and such a great marriage. It's true that we have disagreements, we sometimes bicker and there are times when we have to make it work (as Tim Gunn would say). But I wouldn't change a thing.

My husband is my best friend, my supporter, my sounding board...he keeps me calm when I need it, he hugs me when I cry, he pushes me to be my best and makes me laugh when I'm cranky. He is generous, kind, funny and smart. He loves me more than I could ever explain and I love him that much too.

This is the song he played when we got engaged, and it was our first dance:

Cutest Baby Dancing

This little baby has mad skills. How cute is he!?

Real Preachers of Genius

In doing research for my sermon this week, which is the start to and Evangelism series, I found this and wanted to share. Pretty amusing.

Cute Little Boy

This little boy is so cute...and the video is amusing.

That's My King

People often say "Happy Easter" and I understand that it's because we have the joy of the knowledge of Jesus triumph over death, but I hope that you have a thoughtful Easter. Especially if you're like me and you've been in church your whole life, don't just look the story over again. Give it some real time and thought. And check out this powerful video:

Amazing Skills

Ok Go, This Too Shall Pass

Come, thou fount

This is one of my favorite hymns, I just love it. And I enjoy finding my favorite's done in unique ways, so thanks to Sufjan Stevens for this:

A rap about Jesus

I am a fan of the fact that we do not all of us worship God in the same way. I am also a fan of rap music. This song is raw, but I really like it's honesty. Check it out:

In Christ I Stand

This song touches me...it's very powerful.

And Can It Be

One of my favorite hymns of all time, especially the third verse, but I'm not sure how I feel about this version...and I sort of wonder how Charles Wesley would feel. Go here, unfortunately I can't embed it:

For Good

I wish there were more time for people. I get busy with work and life and TV and so many other things that don't matter that much. I want to remember that life is about the relationships that we have and the people we get to love and that love us.

I love the people I love so deeply, and sometimes I lament that some people are in our lives only for a small period of time. I think that as we travel through life we are given people for a season. Some people stay with us our whole life, or many seasons: your family, a few close friends. Others are there only for one season: floormates at college, a professor or collegue.

Unfortunately the short periods of time do not make it any easier to let go. Though I understand that life works this way, I hate it every time it happens. At times you can see the end coming, other times it is sudden. So I just wanted to let you all know, each person who has touched my life, whether in a small way or greatly, thank you and because I knew you, I have been changed for good.
