Today's Bible reading on www.oneyearbibleblog.com is the great story about David bringing the ark back to Jerusalem...He was leading the multitudes in celebrative worship without all of his clothing. (Don't worry, I'm not going to try that on Sunday...)
His wife wasn't so enthralled with the king of Israel, or the true King of Israel (Jehovah), and she scorned her husband-king for dancing and celebrating in such an undignified manner.
His reply was simple...I will celebrate unto the Lord. This is about God, not me, not my honor, not my dignity. God has been good to us, and we will celebrate appropriately. You think that was undignified? I will go to even greater lengths to show my zeal and my joy and my gratitude for the Lord Almighty.
Wow, I just love it! It makes me think of the song "and I will be even more undignified than this...some may say its foolishness..." I think the band is Delirious.
Have a great day in the Lord, and celebrate Him with all your might. He has been good to you.
He has certainly been good to me.
We got a contract on our house on Tuesday! Thank you, God! We're set to close on June 22, and then rent back until Friday, July 6. We pull out of town for Indy that day. And somewhere in there, Baby #2 is set to arrive! June 18th is our induction date. Very exciting...It's hard to imagine loving a little baby as much as we love Faith, but I think God has a way of enlarging our hearts to increase our love capacity. I know when I fell in love with Jaime, I couldn't believe all the love I felt (and still feel) and then when Faithy came along, it just doubled, so I'm sure God will provide.

Woohoo on the house contract. :) We're still very sad to see you go, but so glad that things are falling into place for you (as we knew they would -- God is so faithful like that!)
:)
Amazing... you'll probably be traveling through my town while I'm at Acafest in Nashville. :-p
Murray, I really love that Bible blog website! I read today's reading, and I was inspired to write a poem about David and how he responded to his sins.
I can't believe you guys are really leaving us! Jaime must feel a little bit like a pioneer, giving birth and moving on down the road! :) We are going to miss you and your sweet family!
