this blanket is freezing

So I left Kennesaw last week and like any normal human being, I turned off the heat. Well, that resulted in the following:

Frozen dead birds. Eh, too bad. I didn’t like them any way.

as you may notice my titles are from song lyrics – this song is called: how to be dead, snow patrol.

Posting in retrospect:

This past weekend ended my semesters worth of work for one of my jobs.  I ran the largest debate tournament in the State and successfully ended it on time!!   God is great!  To him be the glory for this great/rewarding weekend.

The joyous time and wonderful celebratory moments ended though… probably one of my closest friends was put in the hardest spot this week. While housesitting/babysitting someone, his father passed away while away on a trip.  She rushed into my room while I was sound asleep and left me speechless.

I can’t imagine to lose a father.  So when talking to God that night, I asked him for something. anything…  I needed to use this opportunity. Jehovah-Shalom.  God is peace.  I was reminded about a North Metro service on Shalom.  It means peace… not just peace, but God’s peace.  It’s a type of peace not imaginable to the human mind.  It’s something we will experience one day in heaven.  Jehovah-Shalom.  Bring the peace of God to this family. to my friend.  Peace of mind. Peace of heart. Jehovah-Shalom.

One last thing – the word Shalom is used in many common Jewish cultures as a hello and/or a goodbye.  Why can’t we all wish God’s peace on people?  We could learn some things from other cultures.  Instead, we say such a worthless word “bye.”

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7
