I caught a drink from a waterfall...and I loved it!

First off I would like to share something disturbing that I saw online the other night. It was a piece on how Albert Einstein debated his professor about the existence of God. In it, he discusses that there is no such thing as cold. There is only an absence of heat. He also went on to say that there is no such thing as dark. There is only an absence of light. I was reminded of an illustration a friend of mine gave me on that. if you walked into a completely dark room and opened a box containing light, the room would be penetrated by the light. But if you walked into a lit room and opened a box that was dark inside, the darkness would not penetrate the room, rather the light would penetrate darkness in the box. Einstein went on to explain faith to his professor. After that post though, a lady posted on there that faith was an absence of evidence. I vehemently disagree with that. My reply there is this; if you have seen a painter's paintings, you have seen a reflection of the painter. If you have read a writer's writings, you have seen a reflection of that writer. In that same spirit, if you have seen the Creator's creations, you have seen a reflection of the Creator. So to the "nice" lady: take a look around you at ALL created things (yourself included) and you'll be able to realize that there is no lack of evidence to the Creator. By the way; if you find yourself disagreeing with that....please see below at the Grandmonkey posts and celebrate the fact that your brain that you are experiencing this incapability of belief in, came from the "hallowed" grandmonkeys; and I'll celebrate my belief in the brain that was created by God Almighty!!

Enough of the bad and on to the celebration part for today!

Celebration!!

Last night at our Wednesday night service I was privileged to a truly unique experience. I have a poem (The Mirror) that I started Jan 21 that I have not been able to finish. I had only the first verse. Recently I have prayed for the words that God would have us prayto Him as a church body at Pioneer Baptist Church (PBC). The day before yesterday I got to hear my answer. I was going to put those words into The Mirror. Soem of the words came to me at that point. That night I set down to add those words to the poem; They were not there. I had "lost" the words....or so I thought. As I continued to pray about it, I received the rest of the answer. I would receive all the words at our Wednesday night service. A soaking service. Well that's exactly how it happened. I was able to easily complete it during the service last night as the Spirit of the Lord moved.

So enjoy the prayer that is "The Mirror"

The Mirror

Allow us to be a mirror for you O God

Let us show the world Your love
We want to reflect You in all we do
Let us help them see Your face in us
We want all to look at us and see You

May we never forget Your sacrifice
And all of You it cost
May that be the reason
We always strive to reach the lost

May we seek you first
On subjects great and small
But may we always come to You
With praise and worship above all

One heart, one mind
And all in one accord
All we have to You we bring
Any less we could ill afford

May we forever be overwhelmed
By Your mercy and Your grace
May we never, never forget
That our God took our place

May we ever be overwhelmed
By Your endless love for all
And reflecting Your forgiveness
Restore each other as we fall

Open door, open minds
And all with open hearts
Forever perfect in Your eyes
A mosaic of broken parts

Total submission
Acting obediently
We love You Father with all our hearts
Your children at PBC

Amen
