Library Rave!!!!!!!!

Okay so, i happen to work at the library at Asbury. and as any one can probably guess this is not a time when lots of people come into the library. it is the second summer term and I am stuck at the desk from 6-11. well at about 10:15 PM something very extraordinary happened.

The last two souls when were here slaving at thier home work... well at least one of them was, the other sounded like he was having a wonderful time laughing at the videos he was watching... but i digress...Any way so these poor unfortunet souls left the building. offically the only people ion the library were the two desk workers, someone working on uploading dissertations to a digital formate and two off the clock emploies.

I and my fellow desk worker were very courious why we were even open. it had beena very boring night any way. I said, "well I guess i can get rid of the coffee." no one was here to drink it or anything and suddenly an idea hit me. I looked over at Lisa, my room mate who also works at the library but was not on the clock, and said, "Lisa, there is no one here." lisa looked at me with a look of glee, "siriously?"

"seiriously."

Like a bult she ran for the main light switch, it was time for the long anticipated Library rave! She and Rob, who actually works for IT but that is also part of the info commons, quickly looked up Tecno on home star runner. the lights went on and off to the sound of Strong bad's tecno.

whoever said libraries are boring didn't know what they were talkign about.

Sooo....

I bet some of you out there have wondered where i have gone. well no I did not fall of the face of the earth, nor have i been abductuted by alieans. (thank goodness). after easter was a funn filled with of play (which i will blog about soon). Followed by a crazyness of finels, moving, and more moveing, and Traveling.

here is a bit of an update. the Asbury Theator Company gave their production of the Deviners. I wrote 2 15-20 page papers (one on the imagery of the Grail in the Althorian Ledgons and how that relates back to the Eucharist, the other on how the Problem of Evil is Protrayed in Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer.) then I found an apartment with my good friend Lisa which meant moving out of the dorm and moving all my 'stuff' into the apartment. ( we are still in process here because we don't really have furniture.) then traveled to AZ to See my sister Megan graduate from massauge theripy school and see the family. then back to Kentucy to get ready to go to TX with my roommate Lisa to help her parents move to Plano. along the way we stoped in Tulsa to see some of Lisa's friends and had a blast.

so that has been my life lately. hopefully very soon i will be putting up somethings i have been wanting to blog about.

Crown Him our KING!

Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity.

Crown Him the virgin’s Son, the God incarnate born,
Whose arm those crimson trophies won which now His brow adorn;
Fruit of the mystic rose, as of that rose the stem;
The root whence mercy ever flows, the Babe of Bethlehem.

Crown Him the Son of God, before the worlds began,
And ye who tread where He hath trod, crown Him the Son of Man;
Who every grief hath known that wrings the human breast,
And takes and bears them for His own, that all in Him may rest.

Crown Him the Lord of life, who triumphed over the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife for those He came to save.
His glories now we sing, who died, and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die.

Crown Him the Lord of peace, whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end, and round His piercèd feet
Fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet.

Crown Him the Lord of love, behold His hands and side,
Those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright.

Crown Him the Lord of Heaven, enthroned in worlds above,
Crown Him the King to Whom is given the wondrous name of Love.
Crown Him with many crowns, as thrones before Him fall;
Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, for He is King of all.

Crown Him the Lord of lords, who over all doth reign,
Who once on earth, the incarnate Word, for ransomed sinners slain,
Now lives in realms of light, where saints with angels sing
Their songs before Him day and night, their God, Redeemer, King.

Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou has died for me;
Thy praise and glory shall not fail throughout eternity.

Where you There?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh!
Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Oh!
Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Were you there when they pierced him in the side?
Were you there when they pierced him in the side?
Oh!
Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they pierced him in the side?

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Oh!
Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

Good Friday

Your only Son
No sin to hide
But You have sent Him,
From Your side
To walk upon this guilty sod
And to become the Lamb of God

Your gift of Love
They crucified
They laughed and scorned him as he died
The humble King
They named a fraud
And sacrificed the Lamb of God

Oh Lamb of God, Sweet lamb of God
I love the Holy Lamb of God
Oh wash me in His precious Blood
My Jesus Christ the Lamb of God

I was so lost I should have died
But You have brought me to Your side
To be led by Your staff and rod
And to be call a lamb of God

Oh wash me in His precious Blood
My Jesus Chris the Lamb of God

His finel Prayer

And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.

I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name--the name you gave me--so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost

I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.

Parable of the star fish.

Taking a small Denture for something God gave me today at church.

Long ago there were many more Twinkling Lights in the starry sky. these Twinkling Lights told the story of the Creator and pointed the Imago Deo to Him. But it was not always to be.

one night on of Star looked down at the world and saw a flickering light in the dark depths of the ocean. the next night from her orbit above the earth she spotted it again and the little star pointed it out to her friends. the story of the Flickering light of the sea spread through out the nights sky and there was much debate about what it was and meant.

Many wanted to go down to find out what the Flickering light was.

But the Greater Lights, the sun and the moon, warned the little Twinkling Lights that this mysterious Flicker of light in the sea was dangerous. they the lights of the sky were to point the Imago Deo to their creator. there was nothing in the sea that would be helpful in this mission.

Sadly many of the Twinkling Lights did not listen to the warning of the greater lights. they agreed instead to go to the sea and find out what it was. So on a dark night when the greater lights were not to be seen this band of stars left the sky and went down to the earth. as they flung themselves after the flickering light they found their own light was extinguished and they fell into the depth of the sea. Here the Flickering Light was nothing, just an empty reflection. try as they may they could not get back to the sky and exhausted they settled on the floor of the sea. they learned to survive, scavenging for food among the rocks.

But their Creator did not forget about them. with every tide he sends a current which would carry them back to the sky where they belong. if they would just let go of the rocks they now cling to.

Alone

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

Mathew 26: 40,41,43,44

Cup of Suffering

"Abba", Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." And After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began."

Overwhelmed with Sorrow

"Sit here while I go over there and pray...My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of Death. Stay here and keep watch with me...My father, if it is possible may this cup be taken from me yet not as I will but as you will...Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?...My father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken unless I drink it may you will be done..."

An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.
