One Stop on the 17 Mile Drive

I ate a lot of cookies and ice cream this weekend.  On another note...Monterey, CA is so lovely!  K, K's parents, and I went on the famous 17 mile drive.  Along the way, we stopped at one of my favorite parts of nature: Pebble Beach!  I found some interesting specimens.....



This isn't a specimen, but it's me stomping in the sand (with boots)
 WaAaAaAaAaAaAaves
 There might be a sea otter in there.
 Wouldn't you like to golf with this in the background?
 Mo' beach.

Shine Into Our Night - Sovereign Grace Music

Image
There is something therapeutic for me in typing out lyrics... We are not what we should be We haven't sought what we should seek We've seen Your Glory, Lord...but looked away Our hearts are bent, our eyes are dim Our finest works are stained with sin An emptiness has shadowed all our ways Jesus Christ Shine into our night Drive our dark away... Till Your Glory fills our eyes Jesus Christ Shine into our night Bind us to your cross Where we find light Still we often go astray We chase the world forget Your grace But You have never failed to bring us back Reveal the depths of what You've done The death you died, the victory won You've made a way for us to know your love Written by Joel Sczebel

"Choir" Voice of Yamaha DGX-530

There is something magical emanating from the sound of voices singing together.  Though it's digitalized on this portable electronic grand piano, the "Choir" voice sounds beautiful!   One of my fave things:  the keys on the right sound like female voices and the left like male voices...as the notes move toward middle C, the voices sound androgynous and mystical..I want to describe the sound as transcendental...  The peacefulness I feel when listening reminds me of how I feel listening to Celtic Woman . (Technical frustration:  Blogger isn't letting me upload the video from my phone - rather, below video went from phone --> computer --> Blogger!)

And If Our God is For Us

The catchy lyrics with the catchy tune with the catchy drum pattern goes: "And if our God is for us Then who could ever stop us? And if our God is with us Then what could stand against?" -Words and Music by Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves, Jonas Myrin and Matt Redman, "Our God" It's a rhetorical question, but I'll answer anyway - it's nothing.  Not even my ceaseless selfishness.  In Matthew 16 - Peter, the rock on whom the church would be built, rebuked Jesus for prophesying His own death by the elders, chief priests, and teachers of the law, saying "Never, Lord! This shall never happen to you!".  In response, Jesus says, "Get behind me, Satan!  You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns." Satan.   Merely human  concerns.  Ouch.  But there's hope!  As I alluded to before, in Matthew 16:18, "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my churc
