How is your life being spent?

It's been one year since I read John Piper's excellent book, Don't Waste Your Life (available online for free!) and was able to share some of my thoughts on it with other brothers & sisters in Ottawa. So much has happened in one year!

And it's been a few months since I came across this video, sung by rapper Lecrae ... now I am not usually into rap, as you probably know, but that is mostly because the lyrics are often quite vulgar and/or just unintelligible. These words, though are hard to understand at times, are anything but vulgar. Some of the most God-glorifying stuff I've ever heard! And the story shown in the video is pretty crazy good as well, once you understand it (a little confusing the first time through, i thought).

enjoy & consider.

really a big surprise carmen, not just the song, but the blog. =)

Hey Jon! yeah... i don't really tell ppl about it because as you can see, i almost never update! So i'd feel bad if people check all the time and there's nothing new.
But it's still nice to have a little space on the web to put up something once in a while.
good song, eh?? i bought the whole CD after i heard this one. That happens about once a decade. :)

p.s.would you like to add me on your "CROSSROADS" too? heehee. I have started blogging too.
