If you have not seen the movie Soul Surfer, you should. It is an amazing, true story about faith and courage. It's stories like this that help me see life in a different light.

Where the Dinosaurs Roam
Miles away from civilization, where the dinosaurs roam...
Where water is scarce, and the floods sweep away boulders, and the rain pours on a dry and dusty desert.
A connection is made with the Most High outside the cell phone network.

When Life Overwhelms You
Stop.
Pray. Cry out to God for help.
Take a breather. Give your mind a chance to relax.
Pray again. Ask God for the strength to continue on. He knows what you're going through. He can help. Trust Him.
When you start again, pace yourself. Remember, your Father is with you. Rest in His peace.
Remember to thank your Father for His help.
And finally, remember the sun is the most beautiful when it shines in through the clouds of life--and rainbows only appear after the storm.
Thank you Father, for helping me through the business of this week. Thank you for giving me the strength to get done what needed to be done. And thank you for giving me rest. Blessed are you, O Lord our God, who gives man rest.

Back to School
Well, I've started school back. I suppose that's worth a blog post. First impressions on the professors--all of them are in the good to great range.

Glimpses of Eternity, Glimpses of Beauty
Sometimes life feels like chasing after the wind; like darkness has set in and I cannot find my way. But even in the darkness, you can find flickers of light. These sparks of light are glimpses into the eternity which God has hidden in the heart of man--they are glimpses of beauty. I want to share just a few of these sparks that have been light to me with you:

Some Definitions
Beauty
The evidence of the Creator's hand. His fingerprints can be seen throughout all creation.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
(Ecclesiastes 3:11)
Faith
Trusting our Father at His word.
Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
(Habakkuk 3:17-18)
See also: Hebrews 11
Thankfulness
Accepting a gift in such a way that honors the giver. Let us honor our King with the gifts He has given us.
We love because he first loved us.
(1 John 4:19)
Wind
An invisible force that baffles scientists to this day. This force can manifest itself in many forms from the power of a tornado to the stillness of a whisper.
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
(John 3:8)
