I have been married to Jamy for ten years today.
If you had asked me eleven years ago if I was about to meet the love of my life, I couldn’t have imagined how good things were about to get.
Love you, Babe! I thank God for you.

Why do we sing? Why do we lift our voices in praise and adoration? When you stop and think about it, it’s a strange concept – talking with pitch and duration.
Sure, some instruments have strings. Some you hit with a stick. Some use air from the musician’s lungs and the vibration of their lips. But the voice is very special. Personal.
And it’s the only instrument God Himself made.

Come Hear Us Sing!
The Worship Choir at Lexington Baptist Temple is presenting their Christmas Cantata on December 14th at 10:30am. If you can be there, I’d be thrilled. The choir has worked very hard, and it should be a good time of worship.
Here’s a list of the songs…
-Christmastime
-A Strange Way to Save the World
-God Is With Us
-Jesus, Joy of the Highest Heaven
-Sing the Glory
-Hark, the Herald Angels Sing
See you there!

Why Retina Everything?
I’ve used the movie Minority Report as an illustration on #NoCamo before. If you have seen the movie, you know that it is a good representation of the way many people believe the future will look. Myself included.
Particularly, the fact that there is video everywhere!
Yesterday, the United States experienced a change in leadership, as a number of seats in the Senate and House of Representatives were gained by the Republican party, giving them control of the Congress. The election is seen by many as a mandate for the country to change directions, countering the leadership of Obama.
So, will the country change directions?
Maybe. But it’s not a done deal.
I think that this country has made huge mistakes in the past couple of Presidential elections, to be sure. But electing a conservative President in 2016 will not necessarily fix it all. I’m dubious that any one person in power is the answer to a country’s woes.
Same holds true for Congress. It is entirely possible that the shift in power will lead to a 180-degree turn for the US. And yet, as I said, it’s not a done deal.
Ultimately, through the President, the current Congress, the courts, and the media, this nation continues to reject God at every turn. Only one of those variables changed last night. And who knows what course the new Congress will take? Will it roll back abortion? Embrace true marriage? Recognize and support Israel? Protect speech and religion? Steward our resources?
We’ll see. Don’t stop praying.
“My hope is built on nothing less…”
“ist.”
Three little words. But I believe they have lots of meaning.
Well, they do for me.

The Day the Nexus Died – Coding?
In my last post, I lamented the passing of my Nexus 7, my discouragement with my techie lameness, and the lack of time to fix either.
I have been tossing around the idea of learning to code for a while now. I even began some CSS lessons on Codecademy a while back, but other things took precedent.
I feel like it’s time to dive back in.

The Day the Nexus Died
So my Nexus died.
I have referenced that tablet in other posts. How I loved that thing. How it suits my content consumption (and some creation) needs to a T. Well, that ceases to be the case when it seizes up after 18 months. #Google #fail

Learning Licks vs. Chord Progressions
Key of G. I – IV – V – vi – IV – V – I.
If you play acoustic guitar in most youth praise bands in churches today, every song with the above chord progression will sound EXACTLY the same.
Well, sorta.
