Don't know much about the Bachmann-Turner Overdrive, but here's something appropriate for starting the year off, a song about a town that everybody in the world was focused on a couple of days ago. This tune is illustrated by scenes from the 2008 Rose Bowl Game.

Good evening, ML..((HUGS))...we are finally on the way to longer days; a few more minutes each day.

Are you and Tippy enjoying some good sunrises?

For a hoot you should look up the youtube interview Mark Steyn did with Randy Bachman about the origin of the song “you ain’t seen nothing yet.” the stuturrering song

Any and all tunes are good listening....and your Trojans won!!

Great tune!! Thanks, Fiji...((HUGS))

This year’s Rose Bowl was terrific as well.

Today's Scripture

1 Chronicles 29:10-16

Bible in a Year

Genesis 10-12; Matthew 4

Today's Insights

David gathered “all the officials of Israel” (1 Chronicles 28:1) to address the temple project (ch. 28; 29:1-9) and to crown Solomon as king (29:21-25). David provided large amounts of the kingdom’s resources and also gave “[his] personal treasures of gold and silver . . . over and above everything [he’d] provided” (v. 3). Following his example, the leaders also gave their resources “freely and wholeheartedly to the Lord” (v. 9). He then led the whole assembly in heartfelt worship—praising God and extolling His greatness, eternality, power, glory, and sovereignty (vv. 10-13). David humbly acknowledged that God owns everything! Whatever they gave back to Him was simply returning to Him what He’d generously given to them in the first place (vv. 14-16).

Today's Devotional

One year, the leaders of our congregation invited us to give gifts, in addition to our regular weekly offerings, to build a new gymnasium—a space we could use to minister to the families in our community. After prayerfully considering the medical expenses caused by living with a disability, I asked my husband, “Are you sure we can do this?” He nodded. “We’re not giving God anything that’s not already His,” he said. “He’ll provide all we need.” And He did! Over a decade later, our church family still has the privilege of serving Jesus by serving people in that facility.

In 1 Chronicles 29, King David showed the leaders of Israel his commitment to support his son Solomon as his God-chosen successor and the builder of the temple (vv. 1-5). Everyone followed suit, “gave willingly,” and “rejoiced” (vv. 6, 9). David praised God and declared that “everything in heaven and earth” belonged to Him (v. 11). He prayed: “Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you” (v. 16).

As we consider all God has done and given to us, specifically the gift of a personal relationship with Jesus, we can express our worship and show our gratitude and love by simply giving back to God, the Giver of all good things!

Reflect & Pray

How does acknowledging that all things belong to God change the way you view giving? How can expressing your gratitude through giving change you?

Loving God, thank You for being a generous and faithful provider.

Nice, jazzy little number in "Lookin' Out for #1", kind of along the lines of "Undun" by Randy Bachman's other group, the Guess Who.
