Psalm 40

2009-05-11T09:48:00.003-04:00

40:1 For the choir director: A psalm of David.

I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. 3 He has given me a new song to sing,a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be astounded. They will put their trust in the LORD.

4 Oh, the joys of those who trust the LORD,who have no confidence in the proud,or in those who worship idols. 5 O LORD my God, you have done many miracles for us.Your plans for us are too numerous to list. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them.

6 You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings. Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand—you don't require burnt offerings or sin offerings. 7 Then I said, "Look, I have come. And this has been written about me in your scroll: 8 I take joy in doing your will, my God, for your law is written on my heart."

9 I have told all your people about your justice. I have not been afraid to speak out, as you, O LORD, well know. 10 I have not kept this good news hidden in my heart; I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power. I have told everyone in the great assembly of your unfailing love and faithfulness.

17 As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord is thinking about me right now. You are my helper and my savior. Do not delay, O my God.
Psalm 40:1-17 (NLT)

Another Devotional Thought

2009-03-17T14:31:00.002-04:00

This was my devotion for this morning:

Stay there until I tell you (Matt. 2:13)

O restless heart—beating against the prison bars of your circumstances and longing for a wider realm of usefulness—allow God to direct all your days. Patience and trust, even in the midst of the monotony of your daily routine, will be the best preparation to courageously handle the stress and strain of greater opportunity, which God may someday send. (p. 118)

Devotional Thought

2009-02-23T13:16:00.002-05:00

I read this in my devotions this morning. It spoke to me:

Have you prayed and prayed and waited and waited and still you see no evidence of an answer? Are you tired of seeing no movement? Are you at the point of giving up? Then perhaps you have not waited in the right way, which removes you from the right place—the place where the Lord can meet.

“Wait for it patently” (Rom. 8:25). Patience eliminates worry. The Lord said He would come and his promise is equal to His presence.

Patience eliminates weeping. Why feel so sad and discouraged? He knows your needs better than you do and His purpose in waiting is to receive more glory through it.

Patience eliminates self-works. “The work of God is this: to believe” John 6:29), and once you believe, you may know all is well.

Patience eliminates all want. Perhaps your desire to receive what you want is stronger than your desire for the will of God to be fulfilled.

Patience eliminates all weakness. Instead of thinking of waiting as being wasted time, realize that God is preparing His resources and strengthening you as well.

Patience eliminates all wobbling. “He touched me and raised me to my feet” (Dan. 8:18). God’s foundations are steady and when we have His patience within, we are steady while we wait.

Patience yields worship. Sometimes the best part of praiseful waiting is experience “great endurance and patience…joyfully” (Col. 1:11). While you wait, “let [all these aspects of] patience have her perfect work” (James 1:4) and you will be greatly enriched. (p. 83-84)

Stuck in a moment I can't get out of

2009-01-08T14:45:00.003-05:00

Why I have not been blogging?

Good question, I wish I had a good answer. Here are some of my thoughts. I am stuck in a moment I can't get out of to borrow a line from U2. Since I completed my dissertation, I have been on a journey with God. This has been a very personal journey and not one I can share in this blog, but it has been taking up most of my creative energy. Since I am still on this journey, I will be disconnecting this blog from my facebook page. I want to make this blog more private and keeping it linked to facebook will defeat that purpose. I am also wrestling with deleting the blog all-together. Maybe it has served its purpose. Maybe, I have nothing left to share or maybe I want to share more through my twitter and less in blog posts. Twitter has replaced a lot of my blogging, because all the mundane things I used to blog about, I now Twitter. Blogging seems to be a place for deeper thoughts and right now, I am not having many deep thoughts. All of this is to try and explain why I have not been blogging. I wish I had a better answer. Maybe if I have time, I will share some of the books that are speaking to me on this journey with God. I have read some good ones.

Thanks for reading (to the 3 people who have read my thoughts before).

My Summer 2008 Movie Predictions - Results

2008-09-12T10:52:00.004-04:00

1. Indiana Jones
2. Prince Caspian
3. Iron Man
4. The Dark Night (Batman)
5. Hancock
6. Wall-E
7. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon
8. Kung Fu Panda
9. Sex and the City
10. Get Smart

Here are the results from Boxofficemojo.com
1. The Dark Night (Batman) - 504 Million
2. Iron Man - 317 Million
3. Indiana Jones - 315 Million
4. Hancock - 227 Million
5. Wall-E - 218 Million
6. Kung Fu Panda - 213 Million
7. Sex and the City - 152 Million
8. Prince Caspian - 141 Million

Peter Jackson typed:
Dear Jesslyn - at this point in time the plan is to write for the rest of this year and start early conceptual designs. 2009 will be dedicated to pre-production on both movies and 2010 will be the year we shoot both films back to back. Post productin follows one film at a time with The Hobbit being released Dec 2011, and F2 release Dec 2012. That is the schedule in about as much detail as we have ourselves at the moment.

Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro answered live questions from fans in a huge chat event this morning.

Close to 6,000 fans asked almost 4,000 questions before the chat started and then asked another one question per second during the hour the chat was running. In other words, a total of over 7,000 questions. Several people (not least Peter and Guillermo) worked hard to sift through the questions and in the end answered 60 questions. One for every minute. We do of course regret that we didn't get to all questions, but hopefully we can have more chats in the future.

Indiana Jone 4 - Movie Review

2008-05-22T16:35:00.003-04:00

I just saw Indiana Jones 4 today. It is great movie. Now I am a bad movie reviewer because I like just about everything I see. I enjoyed see Indiana again on the screen and did not mind the Sci-fi aspects of the movie. It is definitely worth seeing in the theaters.

My favorite viewing time for movies is noon on opening day. The theater is usually empty and you pay the matinee price. Today was a bonus because Frank's Theaters have a special that the first showing of any movie is only $4.75, Monday through Thursday.

Plus I got to see the movie with Hassan, Mer and Jeff.

If you have not purchased the first three Indiana Jones movies, they came out with a special edition. I asked for it for Father's day.

Whew - what a ride

I have not been blogging the past few weeks because of some big events. First, I graduated on May 9/10 from Regent University with my PhD in Org. Leadership with a major in Human Resource Development. Here are some pictures from the days.

After graduation, Dena and I flew to Paris for a short 4-day celebration. It was a big "thank you" to Dena for getting me through my PhD, plus we celebrated her birthday in Paris. Here are some pictures from the trip.

Thanks for all your prayers and support as we completed this amazing journey.
