An Evening with Joel Osteen

Melton Duncan just relayed his experience at "An Evening with Joel Osteen", part of Mr. Osteen's 14 city tour around the country.

His experience is described pretty much exactly as I would have imagined such an event would be. In case you are only half interested in the subject and don't care to click the link and read for yourself, let me at least give you the punch line, it sums up Duncan's experience (and that of many) in a nice succinct sentence:

"If the Christian religion is medicine for souls that are poor and needy than Osteen is a bottle of vitamins in an operating room."

For those who don't do analogies well - he means WORTHLESS.

From Phil Ryken on Reformation21 blog...

From Charles Spurgeon, "The First Cry from the Cross":

"These places of worship are not built that you may sit here comfortably, and hear something that shall make you pass away your Sundays with pleasure. A church in London which does not exist to do good in the slums, and dens, and kennels of the city, is a church that has no reason to justify its longer existing. A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight with evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has not right to be. Not for thyself, O church, dost thou exist, any more than Christ existed for himself. His glory was that he laid aside his glory. . . . . To rescue souls from hell and lead to God, to hope, to heaven, this is [the church's] heavenly occupation. O that the church would always feel this!"

Sugar Bear!! How cute!?









man this baby is cute!
I marvel.

not enough baby

This was taken a couple weeks ago. It was an attempt to catch her at play.. but all she really did was watch me... thats what usually happens when the cameras come out... its tough to get a natural candid shot of her.. she is elusive like the magical pipskwack bird. (extra points if you got that reference)

Standing Up

This was taken last week... abby found out she had feet and she could stand on them... and she wasn't at all that night unless she was standing on them.. it was a lot of fun. This came directly on the heels of her sitting up and pulling herself to the sitting position...

gotta love you-tube

she's becoming more and more vocal... before we know it she'll be formulating incoherent sentences! can't wait!!!

New Baby Video

Here's a new video of the baby from this evening. More to come soon, enjoy!
