Setting: Daddy and Jacob are lying in bed on Christmas Eve. Jacob is very excited about Santa but still has some questions and concerns about the whole process.
Jacob: Daddy, I want to pray to God for a chimney for our house.
Daddy:Â Sure. Go ahead buddy.
Jacob: Dear God, please give us a chimney. Amen.
Christmas morning. Santa had brought a new Spike the Ultra Dinosaur. Prayer answered.

Scripture of the Day
"You shall not curse a deaf man, nor place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall revere your God; I am the Lord". Â Â Leviticus 19:14
"...[T]here is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known." Â Â Â Matthew 10:26
The verse from Leviticus is part of the instructions the Lord gives to His people Israel as they prepare for their new life in the wilderness away from Egypt with the promise of inheriting Canaan. The verse from Matthew is part of the the instructions the Lord gives to His followers as they prepare to for their new life as his disciples in the world and spreading the message of the Kingdom. They both beautifully capture the holiness of God that the righteousness he desires goes far beyond what we commonly see but what the omniscient God the Universe sees. We all play to an audience of One.

My Wife is on Facebook
My wife has succumbed to peer pressure and popular culture at-large and is now on the social networking site Facebook. Not surprisingly given her personality, she already has 41 "friends" (people in her network) in just over 24 hours even though she has only sent out invitations to 3 people. To her surprise, she is enjoying it. If you use Facebook, send her an invitation. I have no interest in opening a Facebook account and personally prefer to stay here on my only website. Better to be the king of your own tiny island than a faceless peasant on a large continent. At least, that is what I tell myself.
