November 2011 – Page 2

Just watched this video on Walt Mueller’s blog Learning My Lines. Intriguing. Heartwarming. Yet also tragic. Sad. Heartbreaking. Two lines that really caught my attention were:

“God is just what happens when humanity is connected.”

“Together WE are the Creator.”
You can read Walt’s thoughts here. Like Mueller I want to know more about his past – where in his mind the church let him down.

A Prayer: "Disturb Us Lord"

Disturb us, Lord, when

We are too well pleased with ourselves,

When our dreams have come true

Because we have dreamed too little,

When we arrived safely

Because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when

With the abundance of things we possess

We have lost our thirst

For the waters of life;

Having fallen in love with life,

We have ceased to dream of eternity

And in our efforts to build a new earth,

We have allowed our vision

Of the new Heaven to dim.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,

To venture on wider seas

Where storms will show your mastery;

Where losing sight of land,

We shall find the stars.

We ask You to push back

The horizons of our hopes;

And to push into the future

In strength, courage, hope, and love.

– Sir Francis Drake, 1577

They played the Carrier Classic on board the Carl Vinson in San Diego. Check out this awesome time-lapse video of the court build which took about 10 days.
