In Christ Alone

So I've kind of been on a Newsboys kick lately. I have all their albums in my Zune, and listen to a lot of them while at work. :)
Here's a song I really like ~

In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hence I cannot be silent and indeed I ought not to be about the many blessings and the great grace which the Lord has deigned to bestow on me.
Saint Patrick

I'm making corned beef and cabbage ... I'll let you know how it turns out. Why do we eat that on St. Patty's Day anyway?

Are ya wearin' green? What do you do for St. Patrick's Day?

Micah 7:9

The more time we spend with God, the more boldly we will come to Him because the more time we spend with Him, the less we will do the things that cause us to have to come to Him broken.

Wouldn't it be great if we wouldn't ever need to come to God broken because we sinned? I think I'd like that. :)

A must-see video

Last night Jef & I watched this video on "The Great Global Warming Swindle". It is a really good movie. If you have high-speed Internet, you should take the time to watch it. (it's about an hour and a half long) Click on the name of the movie to go there.
The things that bothered me most were how people in third-world countries aren't getting anything. Here in the twenty-first century, everyone in the world should have electricity, or at the least access to it. Their lack of electricity should not be due to the fact that they cannot get it, but because they choose not to have it (like the Amish). Even the Amish have houses and stay warm in the winter and their babies & women don't die from smoke inhalation. The section of the movie that talks about the people in Africa who don't have even the basics really got to me. What's so sad is, not very far away from that area, there was a conference on global warming. The people flew in on jets, stayed in nice hotels and ate expensive meals. Why didn't they stay home, save the money & teleconference? The money they spent could have done so much for those poor people!
I think I'm going to watch this again today. I'll write more later.
