God's Man | What I Read in 2012

Image
So this is what I read in 2012. For some reason my reading went into overdrive this year. Where I am usually reading through, on average, about 3 books per month I often found at least 5 going at a time this year. Instead being incredibly fractured I found the differences in genre, style and subject matter flowed nicely. I included 2 bonus graphic novels that for some reason I devoured at a library in Houston while on vacation. My rule states that I can add a book to this list once I have consumed more than 75% of it. For most of these i read the entire thing. I was finally able to add #17 which is a 5 volume set this year.

I offered Governor Malloy my condolences on behalf of the nation and made it clear he will have every single resource that he needs to investigate this heinous crime, care for the victims, counsel their families.

I know there’s not a parent in America who doesn’t feel the same overwhelming grief that I do. The majority of those who died today were children — beautiful, little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. They had their entire lives ahead of them — birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own. Among the fallen were also teachers, men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams. So our hearts are broken today for the parents and grandparents, sisters and broth

Free Friday | Music We Enjoy...

My music collection is quite the eclectic mix. My darling wife teases me because I can just as easily enjoy a night of Celtic worship as a I can a Christian hip hop concert. One of the ways that God touches people is through music. Music, in whatever style or genre, has a way of speaking to us. The only restriction that I put onto my musical choices is that they point is to God in some way and don't disparage our relationship with him. Here are videos of music that we have been bouncing to here in our household. Entitlement by Beautiful Eulogy Excellent by Propaganda Goodbye by Json Tell the World by Lacrae Posted with Blogsy

Video Fun | 7 Miles Matt Chandler Sermon Jam by Takeupyourcross1

Jesus on the road to emmaus 7 miles. Luk 24:12 But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened. Luk 24:13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, Luk 24:14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. Luk 24:15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. Luk 24:16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
