Wii Fit "Running"

Here's a short video of Rachel doing a short distance "run" on the Wii Fit. ;) She's just shaking the remote for the most part, but she gets a kick out of making the Mii person trip and fall. It's funny!

Fireproof

Yesterday, I went with my mom to a screening of the movie Fireproof (If you click on the link, you can find many wonderful resources) written and directed by Alex Kendrick and his brother Stephen Kendrick. All I can say is.... GO SEE IT! Opening night will be on Friday, September 26th. I am going back to see it with Ben on opening weekend. I want to help promote this film because of it's wonderful story that is true and pure and full of HOPE in the LORD. We need to have more movies like this out on the big screen. :)

Out of the mouths of babes (or at least their music)

Rachel and I have been listening to a CD of worship songs for children in the car. There are many songs that many of us have grown up with like... This Little Light of Mine, I'm Gonna Let It Shine... He's Got the Whole World In His Hands... Amen... Michael Row Your Boat Ashore...etc...

Well, I was really pondering and some what worrying about the whole Ike situation coming on shore (earlier in the week, it was going to hit closer to SA). As Rachel and I drove I was listening to the lyrics of some of her songs and it was God speaking to me through them. I know it's kind of silly, but God really knows how to get my attention.

He's got the whole world in his hands...
He's got the whole wide world in his hands...

God is in total CONTROL... DON'T WORRY!

I've got the peace that passes understanding

Way down in the depths of my heart!

Peace that passes understanding is what GOD and only God can bring during the storm and during times that are wonderful. He's always with me.

Such encouraging words from God just lift me up and help me to remember to TRUST in my LORD and lean not on my own understanding.

(Proverbs 3:5-6)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
