Then John gave in to him.". Matthew chapter 3 gives us the familiar story of John the Baptizer (as he is called in the God's Word translation). God's Word sets the table to look at John as a humble man. He lived in the wilderness; he ate bugs and honey (could that be a new breakfast cereal? He wore simple clothes of camel's hair and leather. As we get the mental picture, we see a humble man and in our way of thinking, humble means mild-mannered. Or is it dedication? Posted by Tom Vanderbilt at 11:16.

For those of you who care, I just felt like changing the format again. Since it's as quick as clicking a button, why not? I'm posting pre-march. Got another night road march tonight. We're "stepping off" at 0200 and marching through the night, just like last week. Tonight's trek will be a little bit longer, about 7.5 miles. Eventually, I'll be able to do the whole 13-15 mile march, but I don't want to hurt myself this early in the game. Posted by Tom Vanderbilt at 20:16. Monday: 4 mile run with A Company.

And my tongue will continually mutter Your righteousness and your glory all day.". Ps 35:28, my own translation). And, having the same spirit of faith, according to what has been written, is still written, and will always be written: 'I believed, therefore I spoke,' we also believe and, for this reason, we speak.". 2 Cor 4:13, my own translation). Continually, on-going, not-stopping, never-ending.continually. This word describes God's Word and our words. Posted by Tom Vanderbilt at 11:32.

Holy Cold Front, Batman. Speaking of the Confirmation Vision meeting, it went so well! We are looking at switching to a new Confirmation Program. And it's been received really well. It's really exciting.too bad I won't be around to see it begun. Posted by Tom Vanderbilt at 23:12. Out of chaos.more chaos. Posted by Tom Vanderbilt at 17:10. At least the shower was hot and the coffee was good. Posted by Tom Vanderbilt at 11:41. Why do I do it? Tonight wasn't so bad because it produced two teachable moments.

It's not getting easier. Rather than tell these wonderful people how much they mean to me, I sit there by myself and in myself and with myself in a room full of friends. Man, what an opportunity I missed. It's not getting easier.and the hardest part is yet to come. More on that after it happens. Posted by Tom Vanderbilt at 16:50. Posted by Tom Vanderbilt at 22:35. Today was a first that I had long waited for. Today, I played in my first LAN party. It was a lot of fun! Posted by Tom Vanderbilt at 23:23.

Now, LORD, God establish forever the promise which you spoke about your servant and his house. Do as you promised. 2 Samuel 7:25 (my own translation). What impresses (and frightens me) about this passage is the way that David talks to the LORD, his God. The last sentence of this passage is in the imperative; David is telling God what He will do. God will do as He as promised. David is in essence saying: "Be true to Your word! Be who You are! Keep Your promise to me and my household! The Way of the Heart.

Batten Down the Hatches! For the second time in as many weeks, we have a tropical storm passing through the Columbus area. Last week it was the left-overs of Frances, tonight it's the remnants of Ivan. 50 mile an hour winds and 3-6 inches of rain is what Ivan brought with him when he came to visit. Shrug* I guess I shouldn't complain; I got to leave at 2:00 this afternoon. ;-). Posted by Tom Vanderbilt at 20:28. O Captain, my Captain. Yep It's official. I'm now a Captain! Wanna know the really funny part?

I have officially dubbed today "Q-Day." While I wish I had the creative juice to throw together a sentence or two heavily accented with the letter "Q," I'm a bit fried at the moment. Like I said, it's not like you can pick out which people are going to be good at this. But, it is a skill that can be learned, there is not question, quandry, or query about that! Posted by Tom Vanderbilt at 16:47. New Look for the Old Blog. Like what I've done with the joint? Posted by Tom Vanderbilt at 15:09. As you can se...
