Double-Lung Transplant for My 18 Year-Old Cousin

1 02 2012

Lung transplantation – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

I have a cousin. Her name is Tara. She is 18. She has Cystic Fibrosis. Her lungs have failed her. She is right now awaiting a double-lung transplant. These kinds of things bring us back to what really matters. Family, reconciliation, friends, faith, wisdom, hope. Praying for you, Tara, and thanking God for you.

Here’s an excerpt:

A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 4,100 times in 2011. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 3 trips to carry that many people.

Student Parody Prayer

22 11 2011

Here’s a shout out to all the students out there! (Thanks Frank for sharing this with me.)

Now I lay me down to study,
so I pray I won’t go nutty!
If I should fail to learn this junk,
I pray thee Lord I will not flunk.
But if I do not shed a tear,
just put a rose behind my ear,
then pile my books upon my chest
and perhaps I’ll die before I wake
so that will make one less test to take!

KidzMatter: A Theology of Creativity

6 10 2011

Ever heard someone say, “I’m not creative?” Well here’s a response: “Yes, you are. You just don’t realize it yet!” Spend some time improving your own creativity as you read over this article from Mark Conner in K! Magazine. Here’s my short logic to prove you are creative:

God is Creator, therefore,

God is creative.

People are made in God’s image, therefore,

People are creative.

The question isn’t, “Am I creative?” The question is, “How can I demonstrate my God-given creativity today?” Click the link below to get started!

Want to get good at, well, anything? Consider Ray Allen’s approach to excellence in his profession. Who you are when no one sees is more important than who you are when everyone is watching. Character is developed in the shadows and reveals itself in the spotlight. (Click the photo for link).
