It's All About You...

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
It's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the things
I've made it
When it's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus

Listening to Matt Redman's Blessed Be The Name of The Lord album.... awesome stuff. What is worship anyway? The heart of worship... It's all about Jesus.... yeah.... but what? Worship is the expression of our faith, the expression of our love and affection, worship is surrender... worship is saying it's You Jesus, and not me.... it's You Jesus that matters, not what I do or did, not my career, not my ministry, not my talents and abilities, not my family, not money. Worship is saying You own everything and is everything. Worship is saying... do as You will with me. I worship you Jesus. I wanna come back to You because You are the life. You are my life. I praise You Jesus because You are worthy. Because you deserve it. Because You are the Son of the Living God. Because You are the only One who saves. Because it's all about You. It's all about You Jesus.

Will you worship Him too?

Steve Irwin

When I heard the news that Steve Irwin passed on, I felt sad. A friend happened to call that night and one of the things we talked over the phone about was Steve's untimely death. We were both in shocked. The thing is, we don't really know who this guy is except that he chases crocodiles and does some absolutely insane stuff on tv. But one thing we knew is he's lovable and a great family man. Somehow at some point, we connected to that part of him... through tv. That itself is interesting... So, we were talking... my friend said that its sad that we can 'go' anytime. So I told him he should stop smoking and drinking otherwise he might just 'go' while doing that... with his reply followed by some light cursing and swearing... The sad part is leaving our family behind. Steve has 2 kids... one 8 year old and a 3 year old. We both have kids around that age and it felt painful. Man, I can't even imaging leaving my kids and wife like that. Thinking about how his family will miss him really saddens me. On top of all of this... being a Christian... I wondered if he ever believed in God. What if he didn't.... man that really sucks.... In the news, he has touched many all over the world just being himself. Yesterday Astro showed a Steve Irwin marathon program and I happened to watch the episode they did with his dog, Sui... it was where the dog died. Sui was his best pal. She went with him on many of his croc hunting adventures. She had some terminal sickness and passed on. I think it was the first time I saw Steve vulnerable... he cried when the dog died. He had slept together with Sui to just be with her.. she was really sick... she passed on in her sleep. It shows the more sensitive, emotional and humane part of him which you don't really see in the regular Croc Hunter shows where he's just all excited and running around.

Here's a tribute to him. For the many lives that he has touched thru his work, attitude and love for his family. May he find rest at a better place now. For his family, may God make this time of mourning and loss painless as possible, may they find peace in God's unfailing love; may they carry on with strength knowing Steve has truly indeed left a legacy for his children to follow and uphold. May they look forward with hope and strength for the future that lies ahead of them. May they find God to be their true father and companion in all that they do.

God bless and keep all of you. Amen.

Blogging?

I'm not used to typing out thoughts. This is strange. Blogging is new to me but it looks like fun. I switched to blogspot so its easier to update my webbie. No scrambling on dreamweaver and such. Just type and it updates. Easy. Anyone looking will see lots of photos of my kids.... like this one...

wahlau... this site is boring man.

Sean talks a lot. It's a good thing. At 2, he feels a lot of things but can't seem to control how it should translate to proper speech or expression. Sometimes it comes out as crying, screaming, whining, sulking... which are normal at this age. Sometimes you can see it in his face. Sometimes you just pull your hair off.

But in all of it, he's a great boy and I'm proud of him. Tough time for him now though... but eventually he'll learn to understand what life is all about as he grows up.

This is Nemo. He's sitting on a tractor.... duhh

Nemo's going for a ride on Sean's tractor. Nemo's his best pal. Don't mess with the fish or you'll be in trouble. It's a strange thing how they got together. His teddy-bear was immediately ditched when the fish and him got together. Poor bear. He brings Nemo everywhere he goes.

Great clown fish.

Beware of the driver. He might run over your feet.
