A new baby & "The Bus"

Last week I held our friends' (Matt & Heidi) new baby! James Paul Eckhardt was only two and a half days old. What an awesome feeling it is to hold a new born baby! It makes you feel all gushy inside! The look on Matt & Heidi's face was so cool too! They are so excited and have been waiting a long time for their baby! I recently saw some video clips where some parents baptized their children. One dad spoke (and choked) as he told his daughter that he was there when she was born into this world and also when she entered the kingdom of God as she asked Christ to come live in her! That's worth livin' for! Seeing people enter the kingdom of God! We chase after so much stuff that is so temporary and unfulfilling for the long run!

The Super Bowl last night was cool, because I wanted the Steelers to win. I'm a Bears fan and you know how often they are in the Super Bowl, so I usually pick a team to root for so I can enjoy it more! I wanted the Steelers to win for the "Bus".
Jerome Bettis who people call "The Bus" retired after the game. He's called "The Bus", because it's so hard to stop a 5 foot 10 inch 255 pound bus running quickly at you. He usually runs people over! I wish we could all have that kind of ending to our careers or life. It's so dramatic and ideal. When we stop and think about it we can have a great ending to our lives, or should I say a new beginning? When we live our lives for Jesus and we stand before God one day we hope to hear the words "Well done my good & faithful servant"! Now that's worth livin' for!
