I’m taking a Systematic Theology class this summer. We are studying the Life and Works of Christ. It is a very intense study, one that can not be a mere academic exercise, at least not when you know Jesus intimately as Savior. This morning I am getting ready to read my chapter on Salvation. Steven was playing Christian radio in the background and this song came on. I stopped what I was doing to listen. I felt incredible gratitude to realize that because of Him, LOVE IS HERE, LOVE IS NOW, LOVE IS NEAR, indeed!
LISTEN HERE
come to the waters, you who thirst and you’ll thirst no more.
come to the father, you who work and you’ll work no more.
and all you who labor in vain and to the broken and shamed:
love is here.
love is now.
love is pouring from
his hands, from his brows.
love is near,it satisfies.
streams of mercy flowing from his side.
cuz love is here.
come to the treasure, you who search and you’ll search no more.
come to the lover you who want and you’ll want no more, no.
and all you who labor in vain and to the broken and shamed,
yeah:
love is here.
love is now.
love is pouring from his hands, from his brows.
love is near, it satisfies.
streams of mercy flowing from his side.
yeah
and to the bruised and fallen,
captives, bound, and broken hearted.
he is the lord
he is the lord,
yeah
by his stripes he’s paid our ransom
from his wounds we drink salvation
he is the lord
he is the lord
love is here.
love is now.
love is pouring from his hands, from his brows.
love is near,
it satisfies.
streams of mercy flowing from his side.
streams of mercy flowing from his side. cuz love is here
love is here.
Love is Here- Alleluia!
MARK 10:45 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Today is my birthday! My baby love took me to a place he discovered east of Dallas, called The Harbor at Rockwall TX. We ate delicious Italian food at the Valore Restaurant and were served by a real life Italian waiter that took our picture. We got coffee and white cake at The Celebrity Cafe and Bakery. The Harbor is truly a beautiful place! It made us feel right at home by the water. The weather was perfectly warm and breezy. O Happy Day!
A while back I told Steven that I wanted a tennis ball to hang from our garage as a mark for the car to not go further, not because of it’s practical use but because I always thought was a very “american dream” type-a-thing to do. I also told him I wanted the tennis ball to be pink instead of green, which by the way I never knew existed. So this morning I opened this little package and there it was my pink tennis ball.
Little things that say “I love You” are the ones that mean the very most.
This song by Amy Grant says how I feel today:
You can thank the Father
For the things that He has done.
And thank Him for the things He’s yet to do.
And if you find a love that’s tender,
If you find someone who’s true,
Thank the Lord –
He’s been doubly good to you….
Spring is here and we have succeeded on our first gardening experience. We started three weeks ago by having Weed-Man come over and remove some old shrubs and other ugly landscaping the previous owner left behind. We wanted to start fresh and do our own thing. We bought all our supplies, plants, soil and flowers at the THE PLANT SHED a local greenhouse. There we met Libby, who tutored us and told us all we needed to know about planting a flower garden. So here it is, 30 bags of top soil, 10 bags of manure, 1 bag of hardwood mulch, 3 Forsinthia bushes and 71 white and purple petunias later, our masterpiece.~
We celebrated Lucy’s Birthday by going to P.F. Changs, our favorite restaurant since 2005. The food was succulent and fabulous! It was a beautiful evening. We discovered a very chic and exclusive orange-county-like place called Arlington Highlands. It was a very windy night, which made taking pictures a lot of fun.
In 2006 we got Lucy a Jeep for her Birthday. This year Steven and I decided to be a bit more bold and we got her a silver FJR Yamaha Motorcycle. She loved it!

A couple years ago Steven got the domain ilovestudents.com for me to use on a school project. I ended up never using it. This semester in one of my classes I was asked to write a Teacher Training Manual (hardcopy), and we had the brilliant idea of making it a Teacher Training Online Resource instead (using the domain name). Its a manual for college ministry lay leaders. I wrote the content and Steven turned it into a beautiful website! Notice the ABOUT section. And YES, I got an A!

I logged into Flickr to see if it was time to renew our Pro account and found this message.

I’ll take it! 
Yesterday I was happy to write that presidential candidate Mike Huckabee passed Mitt Romney according to the RCP average. Today he passed Thompson and McCain and is in second place behind Rudy.
1. Giuliani (25.5%)
2. Huckabee (13.8%)
3. McCain (13.7%)
4. Thompson (13.2%)
5. Romney (10.7%)
6. Paul (4.7%)
Mike Huckabee has passed Mitt Romney and is now in fourth place according to the
RCP average for Republican candidates. We’ve seen Huck go from 2% to 4% to 8% to 10% and now 12.8%. They say he has no chance. Oh yeah? Well, now less than 2% stands between him and the second slot. He’s also leading in the most important state right now: Iowa. This all from a guy with no money and no major endorsements. How do ya’ like them apples?
Join me in singing…
“When I think about the Lord,
How He saved me
How He raised me
How He filled me
With the Holy Ghost
How He healed me
To the utter most
When I think about the Lord,
How He picked me up
And turned me around
How He placed my feet
On solid ground
It makes me wanna shout
“Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus
Lord You’re worthy
Of all the Glory,
And all the Honor
And all the praise.
It makes me wanna SHOUT!!!!”
Happy Thanksgiving
