Now we're photoblogging!
I'm finally able to put some pictures up on this blog with Flikr. Just needed a little help troubleshooting.

It's a boy!
Here's the first ultrasound picture of Baby Boy W at 20 weeks. The ultrasound pictures are incredible. I can't believe the detail.
I can always tell who has just had their first ultrasound. They sit in the waiting room and look at each picture over and over again.
Now it's my turn!

Baby Boy W at 20 weeks. He's a little bigger than average or a little farther along. I won't be making any plans for mid-late October!

CBS | Late Show Top Ten Archive: February 25, 2004
This is either pretty bad or pretty funny. When things make it onto Letterman, they're pretty mainstream.
CBS | Late Show Top Ten Archive: February 25, 2004: "Top Ten Things Heard Outside The New Mel Gibson Movie
10. 'Hey -- no shoving, Monsignor!'
9. 'I don't know why they added subtitles -- everyone speaks Aramaic'
8. 'I'm hoping my medium Mountain Dew will miraculously be changed into an extra large Mountain Dew'
7. 'These 'Lord of the Ring' films are getting odder and odder'
6. 'Was this really based on a book?'
5. 'Twelve dollars for a movie ticket? Now that's a sin, am I right, people?'
4. 'The Pope loved it almost as much as 'Barber Shop 2''
3. 'Uh...I don't feel like dinner right now.'
2. 'That was awesome when Trump fired Pontius Pilate'
1. 'Don't tell me the ending'"

PBS: Heritage: Civilization and the Jews
PBS: Heritage: Civilization and the Jews is the companion site to the 9-part series. Dr. Triblehorn used a couple of episodes in our New Testament Survey class at SPTS. Good for 2nd Temple Period background. Links to a timeline, documents, lesson plans, and Jewish history websites.

Put the Big Rocks in First
Today's sermon at NEPC focused again on The Purpose Driven Life. The sermon scripture was John 12:20-28 - where a group of Greeks want to see Jesus and Jesus explains his purpose on earth. We don't know whether or not Philip and Andrew took the group to meet Jesus, but the Greeks were driven to see Jesus. Philip and (especially) Andrew were driven to bring others to Jesus. He tells us in verse 27 what His purpose was - to die for our salvation.
Seeing The Passion of the Christ on Friday night really drove that point home. Jesus is not some nice guy who came to teach us to love one another. He wasn't a troublemaker or a revolutionary. He was the supreme sacrifice for my sins and yours.
John 12:27 - "Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!"
The heading about the rocks is an allusion to a story about time and goal management. Put the big purpose into your life first - otherwise you'll never fit it in with all of the smaller things that get added into life.

Ash Wednesday
Lent begins today - a season of repentence and reflection. Linda at In-Season Christian Librarian recommended this blog - The Easter Blog: A Christian Journey Through Lent and Holy Week.
Meanwhile in The Purpose Driven Life I'm reading about what brings God pleasure. There are so many areas of my life which I need to surrender to God. On a rainy morning it's hard to get up and drive to work. But I need to work as though working for God. Too easy to see the workday as something I do for others or to bring home a paycheck.

Finding My Purpose
What on earth am I here for? Thus begins the first section of The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. The thing that still amazes me is that God knew me before I was born, that he has a plan and a purpose for me. I'm not just an accident of nature or the product of chance. Because of God, life has meaning and purpose.
When all is said and done here on earth we will not be judged by how much money we have, what jobs or honors we won, or by how popular we were. If you believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, you will be saved. With that knowledge you should do everything you can to follow Him and use the gifts he gave you for the greater glory of His kingdom.
This week's readings give me much to think about in my own life and conduct. And I'm only on Day 4.

Happy Valentine's Day
Having a quiet Valentine's Day at home. Bruce gave me a silver bracelet with Isaiah 40:31 inscribed on it "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." A good reminder to keep with me during trying times at work.
Trouble sleeping this week led me back to Psalm 37 "Do not fret because of evil people or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away...The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in time of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him."
Much accomplished today: started my paper on John Calvin, read a couple of chapters for NT Survey, baked a carrot cake and did some laundry. Life is good.

David Rohl's New Chronology
Just got back from a series of lectures by Dr. David Rohl. He has published books and articles that revolutionize the chronology of the Old Testament. Traditionally scholars have dated Egyptian pharaohs based on Biblical dates. His thesis uses archaeological evidence from Egypt to date the pharoahs within Egypt - then matches this information up with Biblical dates and events.
So Ramses II is not the contemporary of Moses. Shoshenk I is not the pharaoh who sacked the temple in Jerusalem. Good stuff. Controversial in archaeology circles. New evidence can be threatening.

Mel Gibson visits NEPC
Well, not actually. We had a teleconference at church last night from the Global Pastors Network. It featured Reinhard Bonnke, D. James Kennedy, and a taped message from Bill Bright.
Never heard of Reinhard Bonnke before, but he was riveting! Get out and spread the gospel.
Mel Gibson talked about his new movie "The Passion of the Christ". Looked nervous in front of all those pastors. Hoping to see this movie at the end of February.

So Many Books...So Little Time
My lastest reading problem is for my Ecclesiastical History II class. I have to find a book either by an historical figure from 1500 - 2004 or about an historical figure from 1500 - 2004.
There are too many choices.
I'm soliciting suggestions from some friends and pastors. I'll pick one to read and have a nice bibliography to work through afterward.
What a wonderful dilemma!

What happened to December?
Sort of dropped everything for Advent and Christmas - no time to blog.
It was a busy end of semester with papers to write, a timeline due, and finishing my textbooks.
I gave myself a gift of a Bible study notebook and I'm now working my way through the gospel of Matthew. Instead of read the Bible in a year, I'm spending more time in each book.
