bind my wandering heart to thee

oldie but goodie. the perfect prayer for today. thank you, sufjan, for the reminder.



lyrics:

Come Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of God's unchanging love.

Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

a little squirrelly

this made me laugh and laugh and laugh...

all about chemistry

1. mix 4 talented musicians in a beaker.
2. add 2 amateur but amazing nerds.
3. place beaker on bunsen burner and turn on the heat.
4. slowly pour in 2 video masterminds, 1 stylist, 2 wives and a security guard.
5. after all above elements have been combined, remove beaker for cooling
6. add a dash of laughter and friendship
7. enjoy the refreshing compound known as "gentle giant"

an apple a day

I just read this article on NPR. Now, I've never been a huge fan of Steve Jobs (Chief Exec. of Apple), or at least his business practices. However, he is a human being, not a company. And as such, his privacy is just as important and relevant as everyone else. So, lay-off, you crazy shareholders! Give the man some prayers and encouragement...not rotten apples.
