No picture today, but if you care to watch below, we have what's called a moving picture. And it is a talkie.
The Readings:
Numbers 11:24-13:33, Mark 14:22-52, Psalm 52:1-9, Proverbs 11:1-3
Old Testament.
Two major traps for all Christians in the reading:
1. Complaining about leaders
2. Doubting God
This one is convicting...
New Testament.
Even the boldest Christians, like Peter, can stumble. We must rely on God to be our strength.
Psalms.
What good is boasting going to do?
I'm picking up a theme here from the scriptures and it's hitting close to home.
The Psalmist gives a couple of antidotes:
1. Trust in God's unfailing love
2. Hope in his good name
Thank God he is merciful and always with us.
Proverbs.
Gosh, when God has to get a message through, He doesn't let up.
I'm sheepish and my tail is most definitely between my legs.
"When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom."
Gotcha. Gonna think about all four of these readings...
But while we think, let's watch!

Day 67: August 18, 2012- First Days of Work
Mommy/Baby Work Day.
Mommy and Luke are hard at work.
The Readings:
Numbers 10:1-11:23, Mark 14:1-21, Psalm 51:1-19, Proverbs 10:31-32
Old Testament.
Notice what happens when the people complain against the Lord. Don't complain against the Lord.
(Also, if you have recently complained against the Lord, stay away from meat for 30 days.)
New Testament.
Isn't it cool how when Jesus plans something, there are people who prepare it so it's all set up when he gets there?
How do these people know? I wonder if they just have it ready and then say okay when the disciples ask them for it. Or if they just get a feeling, "I think I should set up a room for the Passover..." And then Jesus just happens through.
Perhaps you should trust your inner instincts if you're in the donkey colt or Passover upper room businesses.
Psalms.
The Psalmist is totally aware of his sin. Are we?
Our attitude to it before God is what matters.
Proverbs.
The proverb today hopes nothing perverse comes out of your mouth. The righteous know what to say to find favor, and the fruit of their tongues are wisdom.
Sounds worth giving up the raunchy talk and fixing my mouth, as well as my heart, on Christ.

What a cute worker! Looks like she's more productive than he is.
But he looks pretty happy.
I love those two.
