Wooden Spoon

On our way to Key West yesterday I had already begun to need to feed my monster, that is to eat.  So we found ourselves roaming US-1 on Key Marathon.  I spotted a place that looked home grown and un-corporatized called Wooden Spoon.  Let me tell you that the food was good, the atmosphere was entirely friendly and unexpectedly quaint.  I definitely recommend having a nice breakfast or brunch there.  Here is info about it on urbanspoon.com.

I have fixed my eyes on You

Lord Jesus I am without my own words right now.  There is so much going on in me and around me.  What are you doing to me?  Lord God, I need You more than I seem to know.  What has to happen here?  The dire and desperate unction You have poured upon me and to absolve me of all my struggles feels more than I can bare.  Walk with me please.  I have fixed my eyes on You.  Amen.

On the day I called

You answered me

And the hope in my soul increased

I lift my hands and turn my eyes

To the God who heals my heart

And gives me peace

You are more than

My words could ever say

You are Lord over all

Over all of my days

I will see this season through

I will fix my eyes on You

Only You

Only You

I worship You

And lift You high

God forever let Your name be glorified

I lift my voice

And sing Your name

For you gave Your life to cleanse my sin

And took away my shame

Hallelujah

The earth will sing

May Your name be glorified

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

The earth will sing

May Your name be glorified

Happy Birthday Jonathan!

My mini-BIG brother turned 22 today. He is mini me because we are more alike than he or I realized for the longest time. I am the iPad mini and he is the iPad. …Okay, I know that was a terrible analogy. Whatever! :)

Anyway…

I call him my mini-big brother because I am shorter and smaller in physical stature than him, and he is a big football player sized human being. So he is my mini-BIG brother. I am 31-years old this year and he is now 22. So…

There is a nice occasion I have in mind, unknown to him, for this evening around the time of the Miami Heat Game. …8-ish o’clock I’m playing it cool and what not.

Likely he will be very late to open all his cards. ;)

“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.  My Father, who has given them to me is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.  I and the Father are one.”  - John 10:28 – 30

Even in my insecurity you keep me safe and secure in the knowledge of your truth.  You are truth and there is no darkness in You.  Amen.
