love story

"...I asked Jesus 'how much do you love me?' and He stretched out His arms and died."

To all my fellow guitar players....

While in Romania, I heard a beautiful song from my beautiful friend Otilia. She sent me the lyrics, but couldn't send me the guitar chords because she plays by ear, not by note. Does anyone know the chords for this song???? I would be soooo happy if I could play it... I will reward you greatly! The song is:

Aici te astept azi

Aici te astept azi, locuieste-n min' te rog.
Tanjesc dupa Tine din nou,
m-ascunze in iubirea-ti, du-ma pe genunchi, sa te cunosc vreau tot mai mult.

Traieste-n min',
viata mea inund-o,
respiri in min'
sa ma-nalt pe aripi spre Tin'

Confessions from a bad driver...

I drive way too fast for my own good... way faster than my aged Nissan can handle.

Alot of times I steer with my knees whenever I have to use both hands for something important, like putting up my hair.

The traffic lights on the entrance ramp to the expressway- those are optional, right?

My "brake" light has been on for the last year and I haven't done anything about it.

U-turns on city streets are my favorite!

I like to roll through stop signs.

This is a picture of true love-



This is it. Love doesn't get any deeper than this...

This being the death of Jesus as a means of reconciliation to God... for God soooooooo loved the world that He sacrificed His son for us. Can you believe that? A Holy and Righteous God that wants to be close to mortals!

Out of deepest sincerity, I can say that I love God. Of course it is through the lens of my flawed human perspective that I say this, for I am limited in the way that I love. And, it's not that I initiated this.... I can only love God because HE FIRST LOVED ME. While I was powerless, while I was dead -yes dead- in my sin, he chose to forgive me and extend His love and give me LIFE. Not just a renewed sense of being while I am on earth, but literally, He gave me the gift of ETERNAL life. That is so beautiful. Jesus was the victim of the worst crime in the history of the world- He did the most selfless thing known to man- and yet I am one of the benefiters of this.

There is truly no greater love story than this.

Happy Valentines Day.
