A little piece of history for you…
I was preaching a “children’s revival” here.
How about those pants and vest????
Strange Bird
This is what you call a strange bird. Four years ago, this bird first showed up at our house. We noticed him because he kept flying into our window. Not just once or twice. All day for weeks. The next spring he returned.
Last year, he was missing. This spring he returned and everyday he flies into the window. About 3-4 hours a day.
Why?
Hillsong – Saviour King
Hillsong is an incredible church in Australia. I had the privilege of seeing their pastor in Dallas a couple of months ago. Their story is a wonderful testimony of God moving in a local church. Their music is sung literally around the world. “Shout to the Lord” is one of the most popular worship songs of our generation.
Their CD titled, “Saviour King”, is my favorite worship CD of all time. It ushers me into the presence of God when the first note is sounded. My favorite song on the CD right now (it fluctuates) is Hosanna. Look at the bridge of the song:
What about Pirates?
Did you hear about 10 pirates off the coast of Somalia that held a boat hostage? I am not talking about 200 years ago. I am talking about several days ago. Did you know that pirates still sail the seas looking for boats to steal, pillage, and do whatever they want with? I thought for some reason that they didn’t exist any longer. I read on cnn.com that there have been many pirate attacks recently off of the coast of Somalia.
Well, my point is this…When we think of low-life scum stealing and killing innocent people in 2008, we would never glamorize them. Would we?
For some reason, when many years pass, we are able to separate the filthy, detestable, despicable, acts from the person. We have kids running around in pirate outfits saying, “aaarrrrr”. We have kids running around in bandit clothes, we have kids running around in… You get my point.
I was watching my 4yr old having this love for pirates. It made me think, why is this okay? Pirates were horrible role models. Then I thought of the VeggieTales who gave us a way out. “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything”. These guys actually helped save people. So, is it okay now to have a pirate as a hero?
