123-lmnop

(Couldn't think of a title for this post...)

I was just thinking. And I think that the greatest prayer that somebody could pray for another person, is this; "Lord, let them not be satisfied with anything that isn't You." Can you even begin to imagine how praying a prayer like that over the ones you love could absolutely change their lives? Does any prayer say "I love you and I care about you" more than that one?

Hey, I was just thinking, as i was driving home. Driving, singing worship songs and being touched by God; out of nowhere, that thought pops into my head. Perhaps this is a prayer that I am supposed to pray over others? Perhaps I should start praying it; perhaps I might even put myself into that list of people to pray that over. "Lord, do not let me be satisfied with anything in this life that is not You. Draw me to You in love, fill me and consume me until all that matters to me is You."

Yes, i was out driving at this time of night. I popped by work just after midnight, after making a trip thru the Timmy's drive-thru for my first Timmy's coffee since last Saturday ("withdrawals! withdrawals!"). I sat and gabbed with the three people on-shift for a while. Good times, nice to have somebody to talk to after being completely alone for the last 4 days. Then I left work and went to Denny's for a quick meal. No matter what time you eat it, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Then back home, where i am now blogging on my computer (go figure...)!

Okay, that is it for now. Really enjoyed watching Season 4 of Lost on DVD the other day. An Awesome show, best writing I have ever seen in a tv drama series. Love it. I watched 13 hour-long episodes in 36 hours. Then I watched the DVD Extras. It was all good.

Been playing some computer hockey games (NHL 2004), plus I mad eup my list for the annual Kingsway Foursquare Church hockey pool, which i then emailed to Dairn in Burnaby. The draft for the pool is on Saturday. I am looking to reclaim my title this year. Two years ago I won it all, last year I finished second-last I think...

NHL hockey starts Thursday, I am so excited. I do not go back to work until Sunday, so I have lots of time to watch a bunch of games before then.

Also, I think Friday I am taking mom and dad out for lunch and visiting. I may be helping my first wife with her taxes after that, depending how she is feeling.

That is all that I can think of for now. Ta-ta, all!


lyrics to Consuming Fire by Tim Hughes


There must be more than this
Oh breath of God come breathe within
There must be more than this
Spirit of God we wait for You
Fill us anew we pray
Fill us anew we pray


Consuming Fire
Fan into flame
A passion for Your name
Spirit of God
Fall in this place
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way
With us


Come like a rushing wind
Fill us with power from on high
Now set the captives free
Leave us abandoned to Your praise
Lord let Your glory fall
Lord let Your glory fall


Consuming Fire
Fan into flame
A passion for Your name
Spirit of God
Fall in this place
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way
Consuming Fire
Fan into flame
A passion for Your name
Spirit of God
Fall in this place
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way
With us



Can you possibly imagine, even for a millisecond, what it would be like to have God leave you abandoned to His praise? I can't. But I'd like to experience that. Wouldn't you?
