November 8 Life Update | albedo

Al be do (ăl-bē'dō) n.: the reflecting power of a surface. November 8, 2009. November 8 Life Update. I know, it’s been a while. But I’m back. And I say that often, and am not. Back I’m not making any promises, but I’m starting to think the practice of blogging could be really beneficial. For me at least, if not anyone else. I’ve been pondering lately why people blog. And the conclusion I’ve come to, at least for myself, is that blogging should be. I also had a fantastic time in the UK this summer! I got ...

If my Class Were an SNL Skit | albedo

Al be do (ăl-bē'dō) n.: the reflecting power of a surface. March 10, 2010. If my Class Were an SNL Skit. I have many kinds of kids in my classes. Today’s Kindergarten Edible Geography class is always my favorite. Let me introduce some of the characters:. 1 The “hungry-chubby” kid: As SOON as we walk into the classroom, he’s hungry. You would have thought he has never eaten before. But believe you me, his physique tells otherwise. 6 The “my-name-is-India” kid: You can tell she comes from a hea...7 The ...

Al be do (ăl-bē'dō) n.: the reflecting power of a surface. April 6, 2010. The Blessings of Sharing Trials. As many know, I am currently unemployed. I’ve had an extremely hard time finding a job, and naturally, no job means no money. However, the unexpected blessing of it all is that I’ve got to see the Lord’s work in my and others’ lives. It’s a blessing I wouldn’t trade for every job in the world. 8220;I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in th...

The Patience of God | albedo

Al be do (ăl-bē'dō) n.: the reflecting power of a surface. November 24, 2009. The Patience of God. I’ve started reading through the Bible in a year. I’ve realized that I really need a bigger picture of God’s Word, and I need to see how it interelates to itself. I read something this morning that really struck me. But first, some background. 20 years and older was dead. God minced no words with his people:. 8220;But they and our fathers acted presumptuously and stiffened their neck and did not obey your c...

Al be do (ăl-bē'dō) n.: the reflecting power of a surface. June 5, 2010. Matthew Charles Foster: 12/30/87-6/1/10. You don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone, as Joni Mitchell sang. I long for the day when sin no longer crouches at my doorstep, and death and suffering are nowhere to be found. But until then, may I be found faithful. I have been given here, now, to make Jesus known and magnified. So dance and sing with the angels, Matthew. Bow before the throne of the God of the universe. Wallow in...Hi Ni...

Letter to my Father | albedo
https://philipanderson.wordpress.com/2010/05/17/letter-to-my-father
Al be do (ăl-bē'dō) n.: the reflecting power of a surface. May 17, 2010. Letter to my Father. I wonder if Solomon’s son listened to his father’s advice. I wonder if he walked in integrity his whole life. Or perhaps he followed in the footsteps of his father, falling after the very temptations his father warned against. Certainly Solomon’s more famous children did not walk faithfully with the Lord. Yet despite his eventual failures, his words ring true even today. I love you, Dad. Laquo; One Year Later.

God With Us | albedo

Al be do (ăl-bē'dō) n.: the reflecting power of a surface. December 24, 2009. O come, O come, Emmanuel. And ransom captive Israel. That mourns in lonely exile here. Until the Son of God appear. Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free. Thine own from Satan’s tyranny. From depths of Hell Thy people save. And give them victory o’er the grave. Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer. Our spirits by Thine advent here. Disperse the gloomy clouds of night.

Al be do (ăl-bē'dō) n.: the reflecting power of a surface. May 27, 2009. Do You Want a Friend? I read a story last night that brought me to my knees. A children’s story. The book is called. Do You Want a Friend? By Noel Piper, available for free as a PDF from Desiring God. The line that hit me most was this:. 8220;Maybe you have lots of friends. But can any of them do ALL these things ALL the time? No Jesus is the only friend who is everything we need. There is no friend like Jesus.”. March 8, 2009.

Al be do (ăl-bē'dō) n.: the reflecting power of a surface. May 11, 2010. All of a sudden, I felt that weight of the unknown sitting on top of me. Was now the time to decide what to do with the rest of my life? Because I don’t know. I had three long, somewhat boring weeks to think about it before I headed off to Africa. That job disintegrated before me at the beginning of this year. I was left with just as many bills, only less and less work. I didn’t know how I was going to pay them, or whe...They say hi...
