"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Down The Up Staircase
April 26, 2014
Read: 2 Chronicles 12:1-8
The video starts with a puppy at the top of the stairs afraid to go down. Despite much encouragement from people cheering at the bottom, Daisy cant figure it out. She wants so badly to join them, but fear keeps her pacing the landing. Then a bigger dog comes to help. Simon runs up the steps and then back down, showing Daisy how easy it is. Daisy is not convinced. Simon tries again. This time more slowly. Then he watches Daisy try again. But Daisy still is too scared. Once again Simon goes to the top and demonstrates the technique. Finally Daisy dares to let her back legs follow the front ones. Simon stays beside her. She makes it. Everyone celebrates!
What a beautiful picture of discipleship. We spend much of our time trying to teach others to climb up, but the more important, and more difficult, thing to learn is how to go down. Throughout Scripture we read that God desires humility of us. Because the people of Judah humbled themselves, the Lord said, Therefore I will not destroy them (2 Chron. 12:7).
On numerous occasions, God demonstrated humility by coming down (Ex. 3:7-8; 19:10-12; Micah 1:3). Finally God sent Jesus, who spent His life teaching the technique we are to follow (Phil. 2:5-11).
More like the Master I would ever be,
More of His meekness, more humility;
More zeal to labor, more courage to be true,
More consecration for work He bids me do. Gabriel
No one will learn anything at all unless he first learns humility.
The Scriptures reveal how God responds to the humble heart. When King Rehoboam humbled himself, God responded by providing deliverance (v.7). In 2 Chronicles 1, King Solomon was given an invitation to ask God for anything he desired but requested only wisdom to rule his people. Because of his humble request, God chose to give him the additional blessings of wealth and honor (vv.6-12).

England 1943. I think the officers wanted to keep the troops busy. Actually I think that is how Hadrian's Wall got built.

Howdy buckaroos. It's been a while since I got my country groove on, so tonight I'm featuring a little band out of Columbus, Ohio who formed in 1999 in Nashville and debuted in 2000, taking the music industry by storm. They've released a total of nine studio albums, all of which have been certified platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America. Those hit albums have accounted for 26 single releases and all of them have charted within the top 20 or higher on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including 12 which reached the number one slot. That's impressive by any standards and speaks to the band's unique ability to speak to the heartland of America.
Consiting of Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney and a select group of Nashville's finest backing musicians, Rascal Flatts has become one of the brightest stars on the country music scene. A recent CMT Crossroads broadcast of the band teaming with rock icons Journey showed them to be solidly grounded in rock as well as their unique brand of pop country featuring Gary LeVox' instantly recognizable lead vocals. In less than 15 years on the scene they've accumulated a laundry list of awards from the Academy of Country Music, The Country Music Association, The American Music Awards, The American Country Awards, The People's Choice Awards, Radio Music Awards as well as numerous awards from BMI, Billboard and Country Music Television. They've also received Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Songwriter Awards, Stars on the Music City Walk of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in 2011 were inducted as Members of the Grand Ole Opry. Their place in the Hall of Fame is still in the future and they appear to be an unstoppable force in popular music.
So relax this weekend and enjoy a showcase of Rascal Flatts.
