Dust on the Bible

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 04:07:00 +0000

I love the new tabs my wife got me for my Bible. It makes it that much easier to read.

The world tries to pull us away again and again...

...but rest assured, God's WORD is alive today, yesterday and forever!

Happy Halloween!

Noah was a "skeleton" this year! Seriously, besides the fact that he looks kind of like a little burglar, is this not the cutest thing you've ever seen???

Thanks mommy for letting him

Does Your Life Have Rhythm

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:40:00 +0000

Rhythm (from Greek ???µ?? – rhythmos, "any measured flow or movement, symmetry") is the variation of the length and accentuation of a series of sounds or other events.

As a musician, I am always analyzing the importance of Rhythm in a particular musical piece. And equally as important as the notes that ARE there, are the notes that ARE NOT there. We call them "RESTS". Music without rest would just be a chaotic jumbled mess of sound. It is the REST or the "space between the notes" that make great songs.

The same is for our lives. We run so fast, that if we don't have the properly placed REST then our lives begin to resemble a chaotic mess. Pastor Troy shared with the staff this week that God left instructions for the RHYTHM of life..

GEN 2:3 "And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done."

Some people call it the "Sabbath" but what it really comes down to is "RHYTHM"... our lives need rhythm and God knew it. He did not rest because He needed it, He rested because He knew that WE would need it.

RHYTHM adds strength, power and energy to our lives. Work, work, work, rest... Work, work, work, rest... Work, work, work, rest... this is the pattern that God has modeled for us. Will we follow?

Let us find great balance in our lives.... let's leave some space in the margins to let God fill us up. Let's take care of our minds and bodies so that we can accomplish what God has intended for us.

Let's find the "space between the notes"...

Peace

Noah Talking To Camera

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:10:00 +0000

Now that Jackie has the new iPhone 3GS, we are able to capture the more humorous moments in life with little effort. Here is a conversation that took place earlier today between mommy & Noah.

Too sweet:)

Technology!!!

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 14:07:00 +0000

It's so cool to see how far technology has come. I remember growing up watching Star Trek and when they would video conference each other from different ships I would think... WOW!! How cool would it be to do that.

Well, low and behold, only a few decades later, the 6 of us as Worship Pastors are able to "log in" to tokbox.com and instantly be in conversation with each other from miles apart. What an amazing time to be alive. I wonder what the future holds...

Believe it or not, we are actually able to accomplish a lot this way. Great conversations that would otherwise take hours of planning and traveling. Just think of all the gas we're saving:) and get this... It's totally FREE!!!! (for now at least)

Bath Time!!!

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:23:00 +0000

Noah loves taking baths at Grandma's House! It's fun to see him grow up so fast. As you can see he is holding his own bottle of shampoo now too.

Baby's Got a Brand New Chair

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:23:00 +0000

I know that the simple things are starting to seem most exciting in my life right now but it's like they say... "The best things in life are free"

Noah got a new chair today(it wasn't free) that allows him to "sit" up right for as long as he wants(priceless). Now he really feels like a big boy.

I never get sick of looking at his pictures. He really is a Gerber baby. I love him so much. Know mommy can at least get a little rest from having to hold him all day:)

Running On Empty

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 21:54:00 +0000

This is an actual picture of my Gas Gauge this morning at 5:55 on my way to LA Fitness. I actually found myself praying... "Dear God, one more mile please..."

Although it would have been my own fault, and I could have gotten gas easily the night before, I just kept putting it off. Fortunately God answered my prayers and I was able to cruise into the gas station and 'fil her up! But, I could have just as easily been walking in the humid, dark Florida rain to get a bucket of Gas.

How bout you? Where's your gauge... is it below "E"... or are you filled up?

This morning I realized that maybe I let my tank run to low Spiritually. Maybe I am putting off God until the last minute. And even though I'm still going... maybe my system could use a boost of fresh clean spiritual Gasoline.

Isaiah 40:31

"but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Where Do You Get Your Music?

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 20:41:00 +0000

As a Worship Pastor, one question that I am often asked is "Where can I find the songs that you guys do?". While there is no simple answer, I love the question because it usually means that someone is desiring to take their personal time of worship to a new level. There is something amazing about just listening to great worship on your own in your car, at home or in your bed with headphones. God speaks to us in many ways and it's a great way to get scripture and spiritually challenging content into your subconscience.

Most the time, it is best to seek Worship Songs based by artist. This is the easiest and most assuring way to find something you like. For example, there may be 200 versions of "How Great Is Our God", but some of them may not suit your listening preference. So it may be best to search for Chris Tomlin's version since he put it on the map. Then once you find that, you may like many of his other songs. A great website (besides iTunes of course) to search by Artist is WorshipMusic.com . There you can find many, many artists and styles. You can also sample most of the titles before buying.

If you are brand new to Worship music, let me first say welcome to the new adventure! As you incorporate this music into your playlists and lifestyle, you will SOON notice an incline in your spiritual barometer and you will begin feeling uplifted and powerful through what Christ has done for us. I am excited for you because I've been there... Just be ready to be challenged, inspired and joyful!

Enjoy:)

The Many Faces of Peas...

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 01:40:00 +0000

Tonight, our son, Noah, got his first real taste of actual food. Gerber Peas...
A picture is worth a thousand words and it was probably just as cool for Jackie & I to watch as it was for him to eat. He loved it! They were gum licking good:)

"Beans, beans, good for your heart,
the more you eat..."

Catch of the day???

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:32:00 +0000

i know this is a little obscure, but I had to capture this on image. As I was walking into my house last night, this guy was running around trying to find a nice place to finish his meal. I've never seen anything like this...

It just goes to show you... if you Dream Big... You are bound to be succesful at some point...

I just wonder what's next on this little guys menu?

PS- The bug was still alive when I took this picture:)

We're young, Then we're old... Ever wonder why?

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:56:00 +0000

Ever wonder why we get old, and slowly begin to weaken? Why life seems so short? Well I stumbled across this beautiful devotional today and found it very uplifting. Maybe the circle of life just got demystified:)

“I think God has planned the strength and beauty of youth to be physical. But the strength and beauty of age is spiritual. We gradually lose the strength and beauty that is temporary so we’ll be sure to concentrate on the strength and beauty which is forever. And so we’ll be eager to leave the temporary, deteriorating part of us and be truly homesick for our eternal home. If we stayed young and strong and beautiful, we might never want to leave.”

When we are young, happily occupied with all our relationships and activities, we may not long for our celestial Home. But as time passes, we may find ourselves without family and friends, afflicted with dim vision and hearing difficulties, no longer able to relish food, or troubled by sleeplessness.

Be grateful that, as the apostle Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 6:17, “God . . . gives us richly all things to enjoy” in life’s summer and autumn. And rejoice too that with the onset of life’s winter we can anticipate that we’ll soon be living in the land of eternal spring. —Vernon Grounds (ODB)

Goal Setting

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:58:00 +0000

As I am reading a new book on writing, I stumbled across an amazing quote on setting goals. Goals are so important by why is it so hard sometimes to achieve them? Well this criteria should clear things up a bit. I know that it sure opened my eyes.

Two Rules for Effective Goal Setting:

•Make sure it's something you want to do.
•Make sure it's something that's within your control.
(If it's beyond your control it's a WISH not a GOAL.)

WOW. I have a few things to rethink but I am excited about it now more than ever.

"Babies Say The Darndest Things!"

It so cool to watch my son grow up before my eyes. I captured this little conversation between Jackie & Noah this afternoon and thought I would share it.

I just know one day he's gonna say... "dada" or "mama"...

Finding Sleep

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 14:52:00 +0000

My new son is adorable... isn't he? But you know... I think he is tracking my sleep patterns and trying to do the EXACT opposite:) It seems when my wife and I are trying to sleep, he is trying to be awake. And when we are awake, he is trying to sleep.

Is this normal?

HELP~~~

"I Knew I Loved You"

noreply@blogger.com (fullertime) — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 00:31:00 +0000

Being a dad has already changed everything. Now it has hit me where at a whole new passion... music.

I put this slideshow together of Noah's hospital journey and I had to add this song. This was the first song I heard with him while I was waiting at the OB for Jackie this afternoon. I just starred at him as he slept in his stroller and thought about the words.

Noahs Slide Show from FRC Sawgrass on Vimeo.
I actually cried and the lyrics hit me for the first time from a new perspective. Wow... I will never listen to this song the same way again!

Enjoy
