All I Have Is Christ

Here's a video of a song we recently learned at Grace Church in Philly. (http://www.gbcphilly.com/). It has been very refreshing to hear some Sovereign Grace music. Often we find that current worship music is centered on the person and not God (creating an awkward dynamic when the purpose of worship is to focus our lives on God and His will, yet the songs are asking us to concentrate on our own persons alone).



All I Have Is Christ

---

By Jordan Kauflin

As recorded on Looked Upon

Lyrics

I once was lost in darkest night
Yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first
I would refuse You still

But as I ran my hell-bound race
Indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross
And I beheld God’s love displayed
You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me
Now all I know is grace

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone
And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me
Oh Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You

The rail roads are the best properties in real life too

Some of my train addiction was quenched this week when I was able to take a train ride at the Strasburg Rail Road. Mum's favorite part was breakfast (she likes to eat). The toast was homemade bread and that just can't be beat eh. I choose the pancakes (little did I know that soon mom would literally have to remove my shorts and shirt because of the tremendous amount of syrup and jam that smothered them). We had an extra pair of shorts so I got to go shirt-less in the restaurant (all the toddler girls were swooning at my muscular guns rippling in the Lancaster air). The day was full of good food with family amongst the great smell of train grease and horse manure. It really is a good smell.




These two first ones are mum's favs. Aunt Kelly took them.






I sat with Grandma for most of the ride.


Mom says that Lancaster is sure a different world than Boston as far as most things go- but especially Christian culture. What a riot.

What Mom would call a good time:

Rummaging

In the midst of the move, Mom came across this article for the Intramural Football Team dad was a part of in college. What memories eh. Four years and several sports and a beautiful losing streak.

This one is for Sandra, Aimee, Pauline, Marli and Hannah.

Warning: This one will be VERY boring for everyone else!

The week summed up in one video:

There are these things called cousins

Timothy, Sara, Paul, Simeon, Clay, Lydia, Eliza, and Vienna.



I can see Ryan hard core in Vienna's face on this one.

So we're here and. . .

So we're here and we'd like to blog a video but we can't find the cord yet that connects the camera and the computer. . . .moving. . . . .hum bug.

On our Way to Pennsylvania this Weekend

rocking and rolling

yep, I rolled myself up and then continued to roll, roll, roll
This video is me at the church playing the drums. Maybe I'll be a real drummer like my cousin Timothy.

Only one week until the Move

Today I put Bill, my train, in time out on the kitchen floor.
I sternly said "No Poop!" and turned my back as I set the timer on the microwave (according to his age).



One week left until we move from Ma to Pa. How cute.
