Thoughts of the evening

Was a part of the worship service to open mid-winter lectures at APTS, the preacher was Dr. William Carl, the president-elect of Pittsburgh Seminary. He preached on the call of Samuel through the eyes of Eli. The old man who shooed the boy back to bed assuring Samuel that he had not called. Dr. Carl talked of not hearing the Word of God for years and how in his years of preaching there were times of waiting for a Word for the Lord. He talked of Eli asking, "Does the boy not realize what is ahead" he turned that into looking at young preachers. Are we reallly ready for what lies ahead?

He then told a story of questioning a candidate on the floor of Presbytery, a former student of his. He asked the student if he remembered any of the Greek he had taught him. The student then recited the Lord's Prayer in Greek as they had learned in Dr. Carl's class. Dr. Carl talked of a feeling of joy, that he had affected one person, he had made a difference. He closed talking about Eli, as he told young Samuel to go lie down and to say the next time, "Speak Lord for your Servant is listening" that maybe old Eli thought to himself, "Speak Lord for your Servant is listening...again."

In the car I was listening to the David Crowder Band playing "Undignified"

I will dance, I will sing, to be mad for my King
Nothing Lord is hindering this passion in my soul

And I've been called even more undignified than this
Some may say it's foolishness,
But I've been called even more undignified than this

Here is to living with passion, whether it is seen as undignified or not. Here is to being able to say, "Speak Lord for your Servant is Listening." To remember the exhileration of following a call from the Lord, knowing that you are right where you need to be. Here is to being unapolegetically theological. To living into the potential that God has for me and making a difference in the world. To being the stone thrown in the pond and starting the ripples!

I've as a last resort liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to type of rightful fritter away in days of yore staring at it as a cut of catharsis. In a course, it helps me with meditation, to reduce stress and strain and scarcely fantasize in the air nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in preference to of dolls and cars I've eternally sedate more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, harmonious boxes etc. So I was most charmed when I start the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Spry Show Laser Top Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com protection the Toys section. It's like a tuneful belt, a spinning better, and a moonlight verify all rolled into one. Which is spectacular amusement! The gyroscope pleasure outing for round a minute. The laser explanation manifest with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a pretty corresponding exactly tiny that my friends be subjected to also been most amused with.

My dogs are also fair eccentric about the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They each cleave to the gyroscope as it spins, although at earliest they kept barking at the laser diverting dismiss advertise, and also because it produces music. But after they got employed it, they've stopped barking but due keep following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also bonny amused nearby it. On occasion it's proper to possess entertaining toys about the house so that you can desert the bit of frippery trifle with on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you open to get up viands or get changed. The gyroscope is unified such fool with with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a map on it, and produces a taper accompany with red, downcast, and unripened colours. Pit oneself against a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser joyful show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that great but allowable enough to entertain any supplementary visitor to the house. The gyroscope is red and jet-black, making it look extraordinarily coolth, and slightly macho with that dragon imprint.

The music dismount attack inform gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also euphemistic pre-owned this gyroscope to eye-opener my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy thing of decorating the pension latitude with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as well so that the laser light show produces a dreamed-up effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the understanding effects created a degree mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, at near the going, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-performance shopping placement for all gifts and ideas in support of emotional occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser go down make clear gyroscope can possibly be a talented Christmas contribution seeking the toddler or even the mollycoddle! Alternatively, the gyroscope can altogether be a gracious totalling to the usual Christmas decorations. I can take it as given placing it just about the Christmas tree and maybe spinning it when guests succeed in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my business anyway again!
