After the Excitement

Posted on March 27th, 2008 by by jima

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that’s of worth
That will bless your heart 
I’ll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart
:
I’m coming back to the heart of worhip
And it’s […]

“Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” I believe that was Shakespeare. I know that somebody will correct me if I am wrong, and I probably am.
But, here’s the deal. A lot of church plants did something on Saturday they tried something that only a few have tried. Were there mistakes? […]

Friday Passion Week - Good Friday

Posted on March 21st, 2008 by by jima

My understanding of time indicates that as I write this (about 9 a.m. ATL time), 2000 or so years ago the soldiers were removing Jesus from the cross. Battered, bloody. The people around fearful. What will they do with Him? One of the religious leaders of the day will claim the body and offer a […]

Thursday Passion Week

Posted on March 20th, 2008 by by jima

Imagine walking into a room prepared for a party and something just isn’t right. The host for some reason has forgotten one of the known customs. Where is the servant that will wash our feet from our long walk? Isn’t this customary. Now imagine THE teacher, leader getting up from His seat and beginning to do […]

Wednesday Passion Week

Posted on March 19th, 2008 by by jima

From scripture the best we can tell Jesus did not make a personal appearance on Wednesday. He perhaps was preparing himself for a very trying next couple of days. He had been exalted, He had cleansed the temple. Excitement, Joy, Anger, Righteous Indignation. Jesus showed it all in just a few days. But next would […]

Changes!

Posted on March 18th, 2008 by by jima

Most people hate changes. I have a neutral view on them. I like changes in my daily routine. I very seldom take the same route when I travel so that I can see different things. I even take alternate routes home and to the office just to break the routine. I like to eat a variety […]

Easter

Posted on March 17th, 2008 by by jima

Of all the holidays Easter is the holiest to me. I struggle with the seclurization of Easter more than Christmas. My wife and I exchange holiday cards at every holiday. I really struggle with a cheery card at Easter. In fact some years ago I just told my wife that you can get a card if you […]

I just gotta say it: GO DAWGS!

Weddings

Posted on March 13th, 2008 by by jima

I said I wouldn’t post a lot of personal comments, but last night I had an experience. My youngest daughter that is graduating from UGA this summer will follow that up with marriage a couple of months later.
Last night we bought THE dress. She had driven from Gainesville to Powder Springs to try on dresses. […]

Panic

Posted on March 12th, 2008 by by jima

A few minutes ago the alarm on my phone rang with a reminder of an appointment at noon for lunch. The only problem was that it was not the meeting I was expecting. Panic! I thought I had double booked. On my calendar the alarm was for tomorrow. So I made a hasty phone call to apologize […]
