I watched the "Touched by an Angel" episode where they sang this song. In the episode it was referred to as Psalm 151. The episode made me tear up and the lyrics are great. God bless everyone. Christien, daddy still loves and misses you.
All the colors of the rainbow
All the voices of the wind
Every dream
that reaches out
Reaches out to find the love he gave
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation
Lives to testify
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silence
Says the words are not enough
With every breath I take
We'll give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart
Will see what love has done
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silence
Says the words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify love
(Repeat 2x)

So, this week marks Holy Week, the lead-up to the Super Bowl of Christianity, Easter. I'm just wondering how and who turned Easter into a gift-giving holiday? Is it really so necessary to turn every holiday into a gift-giving holiday? I mean what is the justification: "Well, Jesus gave us the gift of eternal salvation, so here's a diamond heart pendant(courtesy of Jared's, of course). What's next, "Grandpa died during the war so we could barbecue today, Memorial Day, so here's some new clothes in celebration".
I am not making light of the holidays themselves, rather this idea that you have to gifts during them. Christmas is understandable- we're celebrating Jesus' birth and the three kings did bring him gifts to honor him- but is it really necessary t buy junior an iPod just because it's Easter? And don't even get me started on these made-up corporate holidays such as Secretary's Day or Grandparents Day(there's Mother's Day and Father's Day for that).
Easter should be a day of celebration, that is it. When I was young, my mother would by me a new outfit. That was cool. I can deal with that, but please people, save the Nintendo DSi's for their birthdays.
Dios te bendiga Christien. Te amo y te estrano. Cuidate mi hijo amado.

Entry for March 29, 2009 - Biblical Thoughts
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:12-13
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..." 1Cor4-8
Christien, daddy loves you and misses you. Please stay safe and be happy. I will see you soon.

Entry for March 25, 2009-Psalm 118
Every morning when I take the dog out for a walk, a song I learned in grade school runs through my mind. We learned the song as "This is the Day"; it was supposed to be sung in a round-fashion, but we usually just repeated the verses. I didn't know then(because it wasn't taught to us) that the song was the 24th verse from Psalm 118:
"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
I frequently sing it as I am walking as it lifts my spirits.
Today, I read the entire Psalm and I realized how appropriate its message is for today. In it the Psalmist speaks of how God protects us and aids us in our daily lives. No matter what the problem, He is always there for us. It also states how it i better to put your trust in Him rather than in any man or prince. God's love is eternal and it always endures. When we cry out to Him he listens, and when we misbehave, we are punished as we deserve to be, but we still needn't fear death because He is still with us.
How great is it to have Him in our lives, guiding, loving, protecting, and providing for us. As the Psalm repeats in the beginning "His love endures forever". God is love. He is that agape love that we all strive to be and to receive: Selfless, unwavering, self-sacrificial, perfect.
So let us rejoice! There is nothing going on in this world that God cannot handle. We NEED to be thankful and show Him that we are. Every day when we wake up is a new day that He has given us. Treat each day as a gift, a blessing. Rejoice and be glad in it. God Bless You.
I love you Christien.

As I get ready to call it a night, a few things struck me about American Idol :
1. Let's get it out of the way. Yes I watch, and I am enjoying this season. I usually only check in to see the atrocities of the beginning, but this season has a lot of talent and it has kept me interested.
2. One of the contestants reminds my of the "dwarf" in "Sydney White" that always wore the Scout uniform.
3. I'm still struck by the notable absence of the judges during Kanye West's performance. Whether intentional or not, their absence spoke volumes as to the current state of modern music- and I couldn't agree more. Every generation had their "stupid" songs (Humpty Dance, anyone?), but those songs were the exception rather than the rule. Not anymore.
Cuidate Christien. Daddy te ama y te estrana. Dios te bendiga, hijo mio.
