This is the video from our kid’s School Christmas Concert this evening. They did an awesome job! It isn’t the whole video, just the best parts (the parts with our kids).

Entering the Christmas Story #1: Journey
I have been asked to write a series of Christmas articles for our local paper (The Vermilion Standard). The first of the series was published today.

A New Word and My Blog
I thought of a new word for the English language that I think sums up the approach I am going to take for my blog over the next while: “Sporactivity.” I like to blog and write, but sometimes life is life and it gets busy. Therefore, I am going to embrace some sporactivity (sporadic activity) for my blog in the days to come. I haven’t left, I’m just “sporaticizing” the blogging world.
Rhythm of Time
I preached on rest last Sunday and what it means to keep Sabbath rest in our lives. In tackling the subject, I used the illustration of rhythm. Interestingly, what makes a beautiful rhythm or melody are not just the notes played (the musical activity done) but equally important are the rests, or the ceasing/resting of activity in the music. If the ceasing of sound did not occur, then it would be just noise. I related the Genesis creation account to this (on the seventh day God rested/ceased then blessed it and called it holy) and that God has establish a rhythm of rest that we as humans, too often, war against. This warring comes at great cost to our lives and relationships as it was never how we were created to live.
What would it mean to live in a proper rhythm of activity and rest in our lives, that when working together, would create a beautiful sound scape?
