Awesome Videos on Failure

February 9, 2010 at 11:21 pm (Quick Thoughts) (, )

I was reading the Forums at 3DayRespawn and found an interesting discussion on what one person precived as a failure. The brotheers at 3DR lifted him up and reminded him through 2 great videos of 2 Corinthians 12:9

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Blizzard of 2010

I live about 30 min North of Pittsburgh and this past Friday we got dumped on by snow.  When my family went to shovel out our cars and our driveway Saturday morning a neighbor went to the center of our cul-de-sac and measured 21.5″ of snow. A great experience came out of this snow storm, and it was all of the neighbors in our cul-de-sac helping each other clear our driveways, and helping to dig out the snow plows that got stuck.  It was great watching everyone come together and lend a helping hand, to watch neighbor helping neighbor.

Some pictures form that can be found here

It took three hours to shovel everyone out, and then we got a reprise. An hour later we put the snow blower, and shovels into the back of my dad’s truck and went off to shovel out my brother. We got there and I manned the snow blower to take care of their alleyway and the area in front of their garage. While I was doing this Matt and Dad used the shovels to clear out the path form the garage to the house, and from the house to the front gate. I also used the snow blower to go down their sidewalk. When I got to the end I ran into my brother’s neighbor who thanked me for taking care of that part for him.
My small group has finished reading Forgotten God , we have just started to read through Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth by Richard J. Foster. This book is a solid howto of spiritual disciplines and how to integrate them into your life. I am really looking forward to this. With the S.K.I.N. group we just decided today that our next book will be Primal: A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity by Mark Batterson. So I have two great books hat I will be reading here, as usual I will probably be twittering quotes as I find them.
