Emergency Room Worship

Pin It

Good morning.  It's Sunday, January 5th 2014 at 4:30am.  I am at the Medical City Children's Hospital Emergency Room waiting area.  5 month old Hudson is having trouble breathing with some sort of croup.

I take my sleep on a saturday night very seriously. I know I have a long day with 3 services in 3 different cities staring me in the face. I try not to let anything get in the way of a good night sleep... but here I am. And that is ok.

There are 2 kind of things.  Things that matter and things that don't.  This is something that matters!  It matters to my wife, it matters to Hudson, and it definitely matters to me to be by their side.

Things that Matter - Rascal Flatts

Welcome to 2014. I've been thinking about the 2 kind of things and I came across this song by Rascal Flatts. It really spoke to me. Check it out.

What thing will you focus on?

1. Things that matter2. Things that don't matter

What thing will you focus on?

This is probably the most important question you can answer everyday.  Have you taken the time to answer this question today?

Sure.. there is a hierarchy of priority in our life. There are some things that matter to a greater degree, but this isn't what I'm talking about here. -We will save that for another post ;)

But for now.. We need to realize there are some things that DO NOT matter that are all too available to sabotage the things that do matter.

Thoughts?  Want to share some things that DO & DO NOT matter?

It's NOT the most wonderful time of the year

Pardon me for a gripe post, but this time of the year stinks.
Here is why..
No worries.  I’m not writing about how I hate Christmas (I don’t) or that materialism has taken over the season (it has!).  I’m not complaining about the business and bustle of Christmas shopping or the inundation of commercial advertisement and stupid car commercials where people act like their lives have been saved by a new car. Nor am I (surprisingly) not talking about how the Cowboys once again will be limping towards an 8-8 season (Why God why!? You know I’ve been praying for Tony Romo!). I’m not wild about fruitcake but am embarrassingly addicted to eggnog so that evens out. I don’t hate my extended family and actually like seeing them this time of year…

But still this season stinks.  Here’s why.   Stupid *bleepin* Daylight Savings Time.

I want to announce the birth of my 2nd son!  Born on 7-13-13 at 4:31am weighing 7 pounds 1 ounce.

Sarah and I are so excited.  We are smitten with this little guy.

The Lord is so good to us!!
