Motivational

This variation of the old hymn "At The Name Of Jesus", written in 1870 by Caroline Noel, was played as part of a Tanzania missionary video presentation at my church. I asked the missionaries who it was that was singing, but they didn't know. I've asked several friends who know a lot about Christian music, and none of them knew. Couldn't find it in iTunes. Couldn't find it in CCLI. Does anybody out there recognize this rendition? The lyrics are the same as the traditional hymn, but the tune is different. The woman singing sounds Irish to me, but I could be wrong. Anyway, it's a gorgeous version of the hymn.

On August 15th 2012, I had a double knee replacement and was told I would never run again by a professional. 2 weeks ago, as my 9 year-old child struggled after running multiple laps at soccer practice on this very field, I told him I wished I could run with him to help. He told me that it would be a "miracle" if I ran again. This video was made for my child to let him know that NO ONE should dictate whether or not something is impossible. YOU are in control of your own actions. I am also posting this because anyone who knows how vain I am, knows that I would NEVER want anyone to see me with this much weight on me, let alone the world. As I continue on my personal journey back to being a healthy, fit individual, I want my kid to know that no matter what shape or size you might be, anything is possible if you have the drive. HUGE thanks to my visually impaired friend, Alyson, who embraced this challenge with me. Now that we know we can do it, we will be running laps after we exercise together 3 times a week.

Days aren't always sunny and bright and one doesn't always keep up with his or her faith like one ought. Does this describe you? All churched out? Tired of spiritual routines? This just might be a sign to come up higher--be on the look out to do some things differently in your life. Check out writings by Nicholl on spiritualpoemsbynicholl.blogspot.com

A young man was training to become a diving champion. His dream was to become an Olympic medalist. Despite having already won several medals, his greatest dream still remained that of obtaining an Olympic medal. He was entirely dedicated to his sport and all of his training sessions, and competitions were aimed at the hope of one day winning that Olympic medal. He had a promising future ahead of him, and was clearly a potential gold medalist.

He would often train in his local swimming pool along with one of his friends who was a Christian. Although the young diver was an unbeliever, he liked his friend, and so put up with all the God talk about Jesus Christ having died on the cross to save man. Even though he didn’t agree with him, he was however challenged by his friend’s faith. He couldn’t understand how his friend could entrust his life to an invisible creator and would often see him confide in God before taking any decision. Despite the young diver being challenged by the strength of his friend’s convictions, he didn’t have the same faith and only relied on himself to direct his life.

This story occurs in a hospital in the countryside where a surgeon is not available all the time.
A surgeon hurriedly entered the hospital, having been called in for an urgent operation. He quickly changed into his clothes and headed straight for the operating theatre. There he found the father of the patient, pacing up and down the corridor. Upon seeing the surgeon, the man started to shout
"Why have you taken so long to get here? Don't you know that my son's life is in danger? You seem to take your responsibilities very lightly"
The surgeon smiled and said " I'm sorry, I wasn't in the hospital but I came as quickly as I could after receiving the call. Now please could you calm down so that I can get on with my job."

The little boy bowed his head, trembled a litte and then asked softly,
Tell me Mommy, can you give me 15 pounds please?
The mother became very angry and started yelling:
Is that the reason for asking me how much I earn? You want some money to buy some silly toy or sweets that ruin your teeth! I work like a dog and you think that it is for you to go and waste MY money on things like that. Do you realize what you are asking? Won’t you ever realize anything !!

Hello, our story today is titled…Dad is at the wheel. One day my wife and four year old daughter Johanne were headed towards Italy to visit some Christian brothers there. We had to drive for 3 days to get there. Our little girl had never travelled at night before and was very frightened. Outside, the deep darkness surprised her.
"Where are we going Daddy?"
"To the church of our brothers and sisters in Sicily, at the end of Italy"
"Do you know this church?"
"No"
"Do you know the road?"
"No…but we can use the map"
"Do you know how to read the map Daddy?"
"Yes, don't worry…we will arrive safely"
"Where shall we eat when we are hungry?"
"We might stop off at a restaurant"
"Do you know if there are restaurants on the way?"
"Yes there are"
"Do you know where?"
"No but we will find some"

Nelly was a lovely little girl, with beautiful dark brown locks. She was a charming little five-year-old girl, always laughing and singing. She specially loved jewellery.
One day, Nelly was shopping with her mother and saw a beautiful necklace. It was a plastic, pink pearl necklace placed inside a little metal box. Just what a girl her age would love!
“Oh please, Mummy, please, please, can you buy it for me? Please?” Nelly asked as she looked at her mother with begging eyes.
Her mother turned the box over and saw the price, and then she looked at her little girl. She looked so sweet. Her mother, suppressing a smile said, “The necklace is almost £15. If you really want it, why don’t you help me at home and in no time you will have enough money to buy them yourself. Your birthday is in one week and Granny will certainly give you some money as well. This way, you will also understand the value of money and having to work hard for it.”

In december 1943 I found myself in a concentration camp for 9 months. I was terrifyingly thin, and my body was covered in sores. On christmas eve, the camp commander sent for me. When I arrived, i found him seated at a table before a sumptuous dinner. He made me watch during his whole meal and continuously tormented me for being a christian and because I preached the gospel to my companions in chains. At the end, coffee and cakes were brought out.
"Your wife is an excellent baker" remarked the commander as he ate a cake. As I didn't understand, he explained: Each month your wife has sent a package of cake which I have enjoyed

The Daily Pulse (Thursday, March 21, 2013): Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:13-14 (NIV)

My Daughter at 18 months old raises her hands for the very first time with no prompting from anyone while on our way to Church. Song is Vertical Church - "Who will rise up". She must have seen her mom on stage at Church during worship. You can hear me starting to tear up in this video. I hope this video shows you as parents that your kids are watching you!
