Monthly Archives: December 2008

This pic doesn’t do the “Cold” moon justice but it was amazing. It’s my understanding that in December, the moon is the  closest to earth in its annual orbit so it was amazing last night.

60 years ago today the UN Declaration of Human Rights was approved and declared by the UN… 

some progress has been made…

Read about them and read them — click here

As a follower of Jesus, I am of the opinion that we should consider these words…

We now have more channels thanks to digital tv… I saw a brief special on the German (D-TV) channel (in English) on the anniversary of the declaration, click here

I would suggest that those of us teaching in classrooms should consider how we might expose our students to words of this declaration…

I was listening to the news in the car yesterday and posted my thoughts about the economic storm we are in… Sweet Anna and I were on our way down to L’burg… while there, it began to snow… it was not really supposed to snow… flurries, yes, but not snow… as I waited while some shopping occured, I noticed that the snow was sticking to cold surfaces… when the shopping was over, we headed back to the ‘ville… as we drove up the highway, I would slow down and approach bridges with great caution (‘cuz bridges freeze first, and if there is snow on the road, watch out) ‘cuz I believe in being prepared… over the course of the trip home, where we drove through this light snow for 2/3 of the trip, we saw 11 accidents, most of which were at the beginning or end of a bridge… people were caught off guard by the slippery nature of the bridge… needless to say, it took us a lot longer to travel from the ‘burg to the ‘ville yesterday… this era that we live in is one which should remind us to be aware of what is going on around us, to be cautious of the bridges in life to appraoch them and leave them using wisdom… “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity” (Proverbs 2:6-7, ESV)

Today, lets take a moment and remember… here is a link.

The recession is now official. It now enters into most convrations. In conversations in the this week, I have heard an attitude of hunkering down. Folks in their twenties and forties are looking around at this growing storm and going inside to wait it out. Plans are put on hold, expenses are being limited, people are waiting, waiting for the storm to be over…

This is a video that will bring Christmas home to you…
