Awe

1 John 1:1-4, Paraphrased

The one who has existed from eternity. The one who will exist until eternity. That which was from the beginning. Do not gloss over, do not underestimate, do not miss the awe of his eternal-ness. He is the greatest of all things that has ever been, is the greatest of all things that will ever be. He is life. He holds life within himself to be given where he chooses. He is life’s master; he alone holds life’s power.

This power – this formidable and eternal and mind-bending being – he came to us. We saw him. We heard him speak. We touched him. He was – and is – fully real by every physical standard that proves you or I as real. We who saw, heard, and touched him stand as evidence of his realness.

We who have seen, heard, and touched him stand before you as real as he was – is – and we announce publicly what we have seen and head and touched. We tell you of his eternal-ness and his realness that we have witnessed first-hand because we want you to be on this level with us. We want you to experience, vicariously through us, the awe and the humility of his eternal divinity humbling himself down to realness for us, to save us.

We want you on this level with us because in our knowledge of him, we are in spiritual communion with him. We are with him – he is with us – hanging out, communing, fellow-shipping in our spirits, the same as when he was physically here with us. And it is so good, y’all. It is so good we can’t keep it to ourselves. It is so good we’ve got to spread it around, because the only way to enjoy something this good is with others.

He's The Man

"I love you more..."

My husband capriciously said this to me the other day. It brought me up short because I realized I didn't believe I could honestly deny it. I've had this thought before, that my husband has leveled-up ahead of me in the love department. And when I don't just brush past that uncomfortable thought, I'm forced to own up to old inadequacies and scars that I'd much rather forget.

Down the Rabbit Hole

My husband uttered some terrifying words today.
"You know," he says, all innocent and calm, "I think we're ready for a baby."
Uhm, what?

REVENGE

Watch out Stephanie Meyer and everyone responsible for the cancellation of Firefly...

Looking for the ultimate revenge? Ship glitter bombs to your mortal enemies!

One Hilarious Thing

I found this yesterday, and I still haven't stopped laughing.
You're welcome.

Who's Idea Was This?

There's white stuff on my car.

Are we under attack?!

Things I Learned Today

1. The country code to call India is 91.
2. Countries also have exit codes; America's is 011.
3. I can, in fact, dial India from my office phone.

Achievement Unlocked.

Here

It's the start of a new year.  Generally, this is a time to reflect on the year past and make new hopes and dreams for the one upcoming. I feel like 2015 was made for big things. I don't know what they are, though I have some suspicions.
