It is good to sing praises to our God. So let's sing.

A Pastor Led Prayer

The soundtrack of my childhood is varied. Thanks to my mother, with her strong alto voice, eclectic taste in music, and habit of singing while cooking, cleaning, and basically every other daily activity, from an early age I was exposed to a wide variety of music.

A reading of Psalm 136.

My wife and I have the privilege of working together part-time at a private Christian School. The school sits on land that had been previously owned by a farming family, therefore, the main hub of this school is an old two-story house. This house houses the teacher workroom, the study, and offices. One of those offices is mine.

I was 18 years old, an ocean away from home, and I’d never seen anything like it before. The small Texas town where I grew up had a church on every corner. Now, I was surrounded by temples and shrines. Seeing the ritual hand cleansing and burning of incense and clapping was all disquieting, but nothing unsettled my soul like seeing people literally bow down to and worship a statue. A nearby sign spoke of the closed eyes of the statue, how he was peacefully at rest. Nearby stood another statue to pray to on which someone had recently placed a jacket and scarf- just in case the god got cold.

In today's episode, we take some time to pray together.

Who are you and what are you doing here? Being able to answer this question is believed by many to be the key to not wasting your life—the little time you have here on the earth. But a better question to answer, and to settle in your mind is who’s are you and what are you doing here? This question is better because it confronts you with a couple of hard but sweet truths regarding ownership and stewardship and helps you better understand your place and time in this world. Being able to answer this question helps you better come to grip with reality, helps you actually know who you are, and helps you make the most of your unknown span of life.
