If you're reading this, would you pray for our little girl Sydnie. She has been at the hospital the past 2 days with severe dehydration and vomiting. Thankfully she is doing much better and has been hooked up to an IV for the past day, which has helped immensely. She should be coming home tomorrow sometime. In the meantime, Heather is there with her now (they only allow one parent in the room at night, lest you think I am the worst dad ever) and I have come home for some rest. We have had some fantastic nurses tending to her, and we trust that God has been watching over her.
Random thoughts....
1. Absolutley love the new David Crowder Band song featured on Passion '05--it is entitled HERE IS OUR KING.
2. Time in the hospital has afforded much reading time, so I've been pouring over NT Wright's What Saint Paul Really Said--it has been absolutely fascinating. I think much of my gravitation even toward the song listed above, is this completely foreign concept of Kingdom and Kingship. Wright has done a masterful job of painting Jesus in this Kingdom language--in such a way that it has begun to resonate more deeply with me. To begin to grasp that the inauguration of the Kingdom is the heart-beat of the Gospel, and not saving my soul has been wonderfully inspiring. Not to dismiss the beauty of "soul-saving", but to see how that fits within the larger framework of the KINGDOM is phenomenal.
3. I am going on one hour of sleep. I need to go to bed.
Peace.
We are definitely praying for Sydnie. I can't imagine seeing my girls in the hospital. We'll pray for a quick recovery. What an eventful way to start her second year of life!
