Coldplay is absolutely one of my all-time favorite bands. They are one of the rare artists that I can listen to over and over again - and never get tired of. On long trips, I pop in a Coldplay album and jam out. If I had a soundtrack to my life, they would definitely be it!
Coldplay is coming to Orlando, FL on November 7th. If Josh and I didn’t already have plans to head over to Dothan, AL to visit some good friends of ours, we would totally be there! But you can bet we’ll be popping in the album on the 4 hour drive!
Good discussion going on here - feel free to join in.
This topic gets me thinking about the changes that have come along in the past few centuries. From the translation of the Scriptures from Hebrew/Greek to English. The blood that was shed so that we could read the Word of God. The sacrifices made so that we could know Truth. And do we believe it? Do we believe that the Word of God is inspired by God, Himself? That it is without error? That it has been preserved across decades and decades and decades…
Do you guys ever think about the people that were martyred for helping to translate the Bible? I do. Makes me appreciate it even more.
Grab your Bible today - shake the dust off, if needed - and read Psalm 139. Then join in on the discussion I mentioned at the beginning of this post. I’d love to see what more of you think about this.
So, maybe there was a reason for the famous saying “It’s not wise to discuss religion or politics.” I’ve had to filter (i.e. delete!) a few comments today.
Geesh!
People can be harsh. I guess some have yet to learn that not everyone is going to share their opinions and beliefs. All I can say is, they better learn it fast or they’ll have a hard time getting through the rest of this life!
GOD bless you all today. I’m more than ever grateful for the freedom of speech.
Sometimes I like to browse YouTube and listen to covers of popular songs.
Some of these cover songs are hilarious (come on, you know you’ve seen them!) and some are decent. But then, rarely, I’ll come across an incredible cover of a popular song by some unknown person from another country just sitting in their bedroom singing their hearts out to the camera. And I’m amazed that they haven’t been discovered yet.
So…here is my OUTSTANDING! YouTube Cover of the Week. This is Angelica from Romania singing Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love.”
What do you think? Does she have what it takes to be the next Leona Lewis?
For those who haven’t heard or seen…this is the molecule that holds our body together.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! May this encourage and strengthen your faith today. The God that created us, holds us together…and left His mark on us for all to see.
Last night I went and saw the new movie Fireproof with my husband and it was amazing! I recommend it to anyone who is married, going to be married or hopes to be married someday. It is truly inspiring. I am very impressed with the directors and writers of Provident Films (also the producers of Facing the Giants) they are challenging the typical Hollywood filth and creating inspiring films centering the message around Jesus Christ. What a blessing to see!
Highlights of the film:
Kirk Cameron in the lead role
The action scenes!
The realism of the entire movie (cast, marital issues, parental advice, etc.)
Gospel message CLEARLY given
Humor - more than one scene is LAUGH OUT LOUD funny!
Emotional - as funny as it could be at times, I was crying by the end.
Ability to truly connect with people
One of the greatest attributes about the Provident Films is that all of the actors (with the exception of Kirk Cameron in this film) are volunteers and amateurs! Even Kirk Cameron didn’t get paid to do this film. They offered him a price, but he asked that they donate it to a charity that he and his wife support.
I hope that you will go see this movie. I plan on going again, just to support it. I think this movie has the ability to really change lives. I am a 3 1/2 month newlywed and I am already seeing the applications for my own marriage.
I’ll leave you with the trailer:
**Spoiler alert!** At the end of the movie, there is a scene where Kirk and his on-screen wife are suppose to share a romantic kiss. Well, they kiss all right. But, what you don’t know is that Kirk actually asked for his REAL wife to come on set to shoot that scene! He explained his convictions in an interview on the TODAY show.
I’ve heard that phrase a lot from teenagers recently. I guess it’s the new thing to say. And it certainly works perfectly for the title of this blog post.
I know I’ve been posting a lot of political videos, but its because I am seriously SCARED that in 39 days America is going to elect a TERRIBLE candidate for president. I have never been worried like this before. Barack Obama is scary. And his followers scare me!
Here are some of the answers that were given by Obama supporters when asked to name ONE accomplishment by Barack Obama:
“He’s the only African American Senator”
“He gave a great speech to not go to war in Iraq”
These are accomplishments? He happens to be 1/3 African American and he gave a good speech? Wow.
I watched all three of the following videos and was so disturbed by how ignorant people can be when it comes to choosing the future LEADER of our country.
