Revelation Song by Kari Jobe
Worthy is the, Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy, is He
Sing a new song, to him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You
Clothed in rainbows, of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be
to You the only wise King
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of your name
Jesus your name is power
Breath, and living water
Such a marvelous mystery
Yeah…
From all of us at the Gliebe Home (Texas Division), we wish you a Merry Christmas!
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!

Seminary on December 13th, 2007 at 12:52pm
Yesterday I completed by first semester as a Seminarian.
When Steven and I moved here we knew I was going to attend a great Seminary. But I have to say that my experience far exceeded what I thought this would be like. My search for the “right” school was very long and painful. I can’t even begin to count all the schools I inquired about and how many I found dissapointing.
There are two things, very valuable things, I learned during that search. One is that I wasn’t going to be happy unless the education I received was Christ-centered. I could not justify spending time and money on classes that weren’t closely related to my Christian faith. Two is that I am not a distance learner. I love the classrom, I thrive in it. I really enjoy the interaction with professors. The whole process of learning is very energizing. I learned a lot in all of my classes.
Lets face it, I am an absolute nerd! I love school!
A few highlights from this whirlwind semester:
Chapels Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Steven came to Chapel with me on Wednesdays and we were so blessed. The worship, the orchestra, the messages, they all blew me away. My very favorite speaker was Jim Cymbala. Other favotites, Pastor Tommy Green from Florida and Dr. Allen!
I took a class on the book of 1st Corinthians, I read a huge commentary on it and read the actual book 10+ times. It was an indepth study and I will never see 1 Corinthians the same way. I gained a new appreciation for the apostle Paul. He was a great man of God. Dr. Schatzmann, my professor, brilliant!
Hermeneutics was my favorite class. Very funny, because I was kind of dreading it. It was my hardest class. I have never worked so hard in my life. I learned a ton! Part of what made the class so great is that there were 60 of us in it, so there was a lot of energy in there. A few of my classmates, Merrie, Jason, David and Matthew always asked great questions. I sat between Beau and Kelly in the first row and we developed a nice friendship. Dr. Caldwell is a genius with a superb sense of humor. We were in stitches the whole time.
Lastly, Steven and I really appreciate our president Paige Patterson. We not only love his theology 100% but we respect him because he truly is a man of God. A hard core evangelist-preacher with a huge heart for God and the lost.
It was a great semester thanks to God who is the Giver of all good gifts, and thanks to my angel husband who made it all possible with his hard work.
I am truly blessed!
I logged into Flickr to see if it was time to renew our Pro account and found this message.
“You have a Pro account, at no cost as long as you keep your AT&T Yahoo! service.”
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
You haven’t heard from me in a while. I’m busy living my dream. I’m a Full Time student. All thanks to my Baby-Love. One of these days I’m going to write a deep entry about life as a seminarian. One of these days when I don’t have hundreds of pages to read.
True story, I’ve been working like mad to get ahead on my reading, yesterday I finished a 900 page commentary on 1st. Corinthinas. Excellent by the way! I love that class. I finished the last chapter and walked to my computer with a huge sense of accomplishment to check my email and I found the syllabus for an Intensive class I’m taking in Januray. A real breeze!, only 4 books to read and 5 papers to write in the next 35 days. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! So as I was saying, one of these days when I have time, I will write about deep matters and the things I’m learning.
For now something light…
What I MISS The Most About San Diego: (Things that I really miss, it hurts thinking about them)
Our Family -There was something very comforting about having mom and dad 20 minutes away, now it is 20 hours.
Our Church- Best church and pastor in the world, irreplaceable.
En Fuego- Best Fajitas ever… so many great memories.
La Jolla- Our favorite place.
What I LOVE About Living In Texas:
Seminary- Going to Class is the best feeling, like a fish in the water.
Slower Pace-Things are quiet here and life is peaceful.
So many things to be thankful for.
God is Good…All the Time!
Sometimes you run across something that’s really cool or really useful. Here’s what I’ve come to like as of late.
Sudi Kate Gliebe - This one is not as of late but rather most of all. Without her, everything else below would be irrelevant.
BrowserCAM let’s me test my sites on any and every operating system, browser and version with screenshots and VNC access. And the big secret is that Fundable gets you 1 year access for just $25 (it’s $500 direct from BrowserCam).
Trophy Chase Trilogy - A very well-written seafaring fantasy-adventure series by George Bryan Polivka. Great characters and suspense… hard to tell what’s going to happen next. I use my Fulcrum Multi Flex LED Book Light to read at night which is the best $11 reading light in the world.
Post Its for Yahoo Widgets - Now that I have a dual-monitor setup I put these post-its on the desktop of my left screen which allows my desk to be clear of the usual dozen real post-its which end up being frustrating.
Mark, you might find this one interesting: CodeIgniter model-view-controller PHP framework and the Nested Sets Model (versus the usual adjacency list model) used with MySQL are coming in very handy for my latest project which is the second version of an ultra-flexible CMS (content management system) for myself and my UK partner.
SyncBack SE - This is some really functional backup software. At $30 it’s a real great deal too. I ended up using this for my weekly PC to external HDD backups after finding that Windows Vista has a tremendous bug which basically crashes the shell if you try to copy bazillions of files. 8 months later and they still don’t have a fix. I even tried MS SyncToy and that has a fatal, unfixed bug too. Ouch. Thank you, SyncBack SE.
Albert Mohler’s radio show. Imagine Bill O’Reilly as a evangelical Theologian without sarcasm and 100 times sharper. That’s Al.
Recipezaar - A great recipe site with users’ recipes and reviews. Fantastic ability to search by cuisine, ingredients, etc. Only flaw is you have to be a paid member to see the big photos

I read this about our town on Wikipedia.
In 1949, two years after Benbrook was incorporated as a village, the sale of liquor and beer was made illegal. In 1951, the citizens voted to make taverns illegal. A few years later, in 1954, an election was held to determine the legality of selling alcohol for “off-premise consumption,” but there were not enough votes to allow its sale. In 1971, the residents of Benbrook chose to prohibit all alcohol sales, except for beer to be imbibed off-premises.
You can buy beer (and only beer) but you have to get out of town to drink it! Benbrook has the third lowest crime rate out of the 42 cities in Tarrant county. Correlation? I don’t know, but I like a town that understands nothing good can come out of alcohol consumption.
