God plays with lasers? (video)

I love this timelapse video of the Northern Lights by National Geographic. Reminds me of a laser light show. Quite breathtaking on video. I can only imagine how much more it would take away my breath in person!

The Northern Lights are one of nature’s most spectacular visual phenomena, and in this time lapse video they provide a breathtaking display of light, shape, and color over the course of a single night in Norway.

How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Psalm 104:24

Today was a great day all around at First Wesleyan of Shippensburg! I taught on the topic of “words” this morning with a realization that we are people of “words” and need to be people of The Word – God’s Word. His Word is perfect, our guide, and alive!

I showed a clip from the NPR/Radiolab video, “Words” and also finished the sermon by reading Rob Lacey’s 2-Minute Bible from the Word on the Street paraphrase.

We had guests from Kittany (PA), Newark (DE), and Hagerstown (MD) today at First Wesleyan!

This evening 40+ of us gathered back at the church for a fellowship dinner. We had a wonderful time building relationships with each other! I am so grateful to be a part of a church family that enjoys getting together “just because”! It was refreshing to gather together tonight just for the sake of building relationships with each other!

I uploaded a bunch of photos from tonight’s gathering on Facebook.

FOUND IT ON YOUTUBE – “We No Speak Americano ft. Cleary & Harding”

9.25.2010 — Leave a comment

One of the things I miss about leading a weekly youth group is a segment that I invented called “Found it on YouTube”.

Since I currently don’t have the outlet of showing my latest favorite “found it on YouTube” videos to a youth group, I will still plan on sharing these viral-wonders via my blog.

First up: “We No Speak Americano ft. Cleary & Harding”.

Haven’t done much research yet, but these two are apparently Irish dancers who have a lot of time on their hands.

Enjoy:

Had a conversation about the song, “Lead Me” by Sanctus Real today with my sister and remembered seeing the video a few days back and wanting to post it on my blog.

Here it is:

Sunday Review | 2010.09.19

Sunday was wonderful at First Wesleyan of Shippensburg. It was an honor to have my sister visiting from Chicagoland and to have her share with my Sunday school class in the morning was a special treat.

In our morning worship I shared about being Grace-Full and taking a step back and being reminded at how blessed we are because of the Grace of God. We looked at the story of the 10-lepers from Luke 17 and were reminded that we are a lot like those lepers.

We celebrated Grace by concluding our service with Communion which we did in an intimate-setting by serving 8-10 people at a time in the front pew. Celebrating Grace at the Lord’s Table in an intimate setting has always been a preference of mine.

Next Sunday we have planned a carry-in fellowship dinner for the evening and we have 30+ people signed up and planning to attend! I’m looking forward to extended fellowship with these great people!
