Thursday Thoughts

I'm random. Therefore, my thoughts are random.  What can I say?
Here goes:

*My voice teacher said in my lesson: "It's all about letting go.  You can't control this.  It won't work as well."
**The first thought that popped into my head: "Gee.  That's the story of my life.  Too bad I'm not very good at 'letting go'.
          *Guess the theme of 'letting go' applies to most areas of life…

*Spring is officially here.
           *My little brother is officially 18.
*The Earth is spinning at 1040mph.
**Change is inevitable, 
              time is relentless, 
                      Christ is immovable.

*I love my Psalms and Wisdom Class. Here's why:
*It's a twice-a-week Bible Study of Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon.
*My Professor has an awesome accent (Scottish, perhaps?).
*He says things like:
**"If my kids behave like that when they grow up…well, I wash my hands of them."
and
**"Barbie always has some sort of occupation - 'Veternarian Barbie', 'Doctor Barbie'…they should make a 'Homeschooling Barbie'.  Someone needs to make a Homeschooling Barbie."
*We discuss the Gospel every class, without fail. 

*Song of the Day: Jimmy Needham's "Not Without Love".
*"It's actually a spoken benediction and it relates to 'letting go' and realizing that we cannot earn our salvation or God's pleasure.
**Take 1 minute and 49 seconds and listen to it:

*I spent the weekend in Rochester staffing a conference with Worldview Academy. Bill Jack and Dell Cook spoke during the conference - such great truth and encouragement.
            *A challenge from Dell that is sticking with me this week:
                        "Begin raising your children now.  Live in the manner that you want your children to copy one day.  You will be the role model for your children."

**How are you living right now?  How am I living right now?  Do I want people copying my lifestyle?  Will I one day want my children to copy my life?

*Scripture for the day: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1
