It's been awhile...

I know, it really has been. I apologize for that since this is an area that I really was excited about adding to my blog. When I began this section I thought I could handle it and the other 2 million things that needed to be done for my 1st in many years update trip to the States, as well as our very - very busy summer schedule with the CA orphan kids. I was wrong. I didn't really handle it at all. This will begin again though, hopefully sometime this week. It will, as stated, be updated weekly from here on out.

Since this is a devotional deal on what I'm thinking I will share one short deal.

I really love the word/s-phrase 'Ma aplec' in Romanian. Sometimes I find the Romanian language a little interesting. You have a bunch of different words to describe, basically, "to go" and are left without a nice array of words in the "awesome" category. Awesome has many relatives in English it seems. Anyway, Ma aplec is a phrase that I feel we don't have a great translation for. So, the tables are turned! Yes, we can say 'bow down' but I like the direct translation of Ma aplec...I take myself down (in a bowing sense). We use it in a worship song and sang that one again at church this morning. It always sits on my heart more than a lot of the words in this song - seems to hold a reverence in its meaning that works itself into my heart.

Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts.
