Month: June 2006

MTV.com has a story on the Virtual U2 making their way through Second Life. One can probably be sure that the virtual U2 is not Even Better Than the Real Thing.

Got a little bored in my meeting tonight

CreativeChurch.org has a great art project for a large or small church group.

Rob Bell will be in Fort Worth July 13.
Tickets are $10 and I believe a group of us are getting together to go see him. Let me know if you’re planning to go or want to go with us.
From Zondervan.com:

If you’ve read Velvet Elvis, watched a NOOMA, or listened to Mars Hill Bible Church teachings online, you may be interested in hearing Rob Bell speak in a city near you.
Bell’s ‘Everything is Spiritual’ tour launches on June 30, 2006 in Chicago and will be in a different city every night through the end of July.

I love so many of the hymns of the faith. I’m listening to “I Stand Amazed (How Marvelous)” and just love the depth of the lyrics and it’s message.
Had to share:

I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean.

O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!

For me it was in the garden
He prayed: “Not My will, but Thine.”
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat drops of blood for mine.

In pity angels beheld Him,
And came from the world of light
To comfort Him in the sorrows
He bore for my soul that night.

He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary,
And suffered and died alone.

When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
’Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me.

O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!
