Peering over the wall

Wow it has been busy the past couple of days. I am coming up on a deadline for a document that I am in charge of editing so things are in high gear with that. I dropped off all of the documentation to contest our assessment (the second hearing) so we’ll see how that goes. They say you can’t fight city hall, but this is the town rather than the city. The every day stuff of life is just that. And to rise above it and get a glimpse of the One who orchestrates it all is just that as well. The high purpose and calling of marriage, parenthood, career, or even ministry is not as high as the calling I received all those years ago.

In 1988 I graduated from an awesome high school where I truly met Christ in a profound and meaningful way. Through service I participated in the divine nature and it was home to me. In the midst of it I realize that I would seek that same God at college. Rather He led me on a journey deeper into Himself and I began a relationship with Him through Christ as He convicted me of my sin and saved me from Hell through a study in the book of John. Since then He has guided me and provided for me better than I could have done myself. So much better.

I want to know as I am known
And see You as You are.
Every knee will bow and all will proclaim:
All creation sings!
Hail! The King of Kings! - AD

And trusting Him with my salvation has led me to a perspective that I never thought possible. The big thing has been taken care of – I have been crucified to the world and the world has been crucified to me. Now that the process of increasing Christ-likeness has been started I pray that it continues to my dying day. Arriving in position and not arriving in practice I long for the revelation of what I have been saved from. For it is then when I will know as I am known and see Him as He is.

Nothing will stand in the way of the Word

  His Word shall live forever. The Word is a sword that pierces the heart And its truth is a light that cuts through the dark Of this world. Nations shall rise and nations shall fall But nothing shall stand in the way Of the Word.  - Iona I was young and now I am much older and there is one thing that I am more convinced of than ever. God's Word, the Bible, is the only truth that cuts through all of the darkness that this world offers me. Time-bound kingdoms, the ones that ruled over large swaths of this planet and even the one that currently commands the sons and daughters of disobedience cannot stand in its way.  The Word is sufficient in the ultimate and proximate sense as there is nothing of which it does not speak nor conquer. It's light, almost blinding at times, cannot be dimmed. Revelation after revelation, promise after promise, peace upon peace - it's all there and as it marches on it smashes the wisdom of the wise confounding the schemes of the clever.  Where is

tightvnc keyboard mapping problem in Ubuntu 9.04

Image
I have been, off and on, having an issue with the keys on my keyboard mapping to the correct values when using the tightvnc client when paired with the vncserver vino in Ubuntu 9.04. I am not exactly sure what keyboard layout the client and server was expecting, but it seemed like every time I restarted the OS the keyboard mapping problem would come back and I would be at square one again. Well, I think I have found the workaround I was looking for . Hopefully this will help anyone else that is having this issue.

The Boys of Summer

I can tell you My love for you will still be strong After the boys of Summer have gone - Don Henley, Boys of Summer Ah the boys of Summer. From where they come we scarcely know. But they arrive nonetheless with their blonde hair, blue eyes, and muscle beach physique. Their white teeth glint even in the rain and their voice rivals that of the storms that herald cooler, drier air. Their hands are firm, fierce, and tender. They know their business, whether a traveling carnival or beach to comb, and their seduction pull shakes even the most sure and forthright. What chance do they not offer? What delight do they not possess? What siren song have they not mastered? What freedom do they not promise? What spell do they not cast? Is there peril at which they do not scoff? Is there sweet fragrance that escapes them? What opportunity is there apart from them even in their wake? Their season is brief and then just you. Me. He. My Love proves strong during their wax and wane doesn't He? Doesn&
