One of my favorite new bands, The City Harmonic, shared some sad but hopeful news this weekend. Their bass player, Eric Fusilier, was diagnosed with a treatable but curable form of Leukemia.
Dear friends and family of The City Harmonic,
It is with a heavy and yet hopeful heart that we ask your help in prayer. A few nights ago, our brother-in-Christ and bandmate Eric Fusilier was feeling weak and unable to move. As such, he and his wife visited the doctor and underwent a series of tests. Within a matter of hours they received a phone call urging them to hurry him to a hospital for further tests and to treat some serious concerns.
Yesterday morning we heard from Laura that Eric has been diagnosed with a particularly aggressive form of Leukemia known as ALL,or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Thankfully, this is a treatable and potentially curable cancer, however it will be a challenging road ahead for Eric and Laura’s families as well as their friend and family. For now, we simply ask that you join with us in prayer for the Eric, Laura, and all those touched by him. Please pray for his health and well-being, and thank God for his courage and continued good-spirits in this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Elias, Eric, Aaron and Josh
Cancer sucks!
Focus on the Family aired this spot during tonight’s Broncos/Patriots game. I liked it.
Another reason why Jimmy Fallon is a genius.
I moved Super 8 to the top of our Netflix queue and it arrived in the mail this week. Date night with Linny was last night and we finally sat down to watch it.
Watching Super 8 made me feel like a kid again. Like the first time I ever watched movies like E.T., Gremlins, or The Goonies. I guess that’s what Spielberg movies are supposed to do.
Linny was apprehensive. She knew nothing about the movie except that I told her there was this horrific train crash near the beginning.
As we were watching Super 8, she grabbed my arm. A lot. The way she grabbed my arms is the reason teenage boys take their hot first dates to scary movies.
My right arm hurts this morning. I think I’m going to rent more movies like Super 8.
Even though Linny hates loves them.
The Magnificent House of God
There is a house different from any other
Filled with light and love
Radiant with a glory that is totally irresistible to all.
It’s an open home
A huge welcome sign hangs from the door
Inside overflows with good food and bountiful supply
Laughter and healthy conversation
And for all who are questioning there are answers
An abundance of hope
Salvation is offered to all
Mercy and grace kiss each one.
A fire is crackling within its solid walls
Always there to warm and soothe
Gently drying tear-stained faces
Affirming the wandering soul and bringing strong counsel to
give clear direction to all negotiating this journey of life.
Captivating melodies fill every inch of every room
A new sound available even to the untrained ear
Causing every heart to willingly sing and every knee to humbly bow.
This is the House I give my life to build
To gather His Church and bring healing to the nations
This is the only House fit for a King
This is the magnificent House of God.
Darlene Zschech
If it were only like this in cities across the nation. One can only dream. And pray.
The Church in Portland is an example to the Church in America.
Last night, I showed my wife this piece of magic performed by illusionist Marco Tempest at a recent TED Talk. It was neat seeing her eyes light up as she watched it for the first time.
I’m always blown away at Marco’s innovations. He’s brilliant and the best at what he does.
Sarah Palin & Fox News ridiculed the White House Christmas card … saying that it wasn’t traditional enough. Turns out, past Republican White House Christmas cards have been just as non-traditional.
I love it when Rachel Maddow shows how pathetic the Fox News machine is.

Believe it or not … there are people in this world that take this man seriously. Otherwise, they wouldn’t give him money.
