Texas Our Texas

Well, I'm officially an Alaskan.  I have my Alaskan diver's license and I got my car registered and got my plates today.  It's kind of sad.  I've never been anything but a Texan, and had to surrender my Texas license to get my Alaskan one.  But I don't have to turn in my Texas plates, so I think I'm going to keep one and hang it on the wall. :-)  

So I decided to read through the book of Isaiah because I've never read the whole thing.  I decided to do that because the other day I read chapter 40, which has the popular verse 31, "Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary" (NASB).  When I got to that verse, I was like, "Whoa, there's that verse!"  Of course I knew that verse, but don't remember ever reading it in context with the whole chapter.  The heading for the chapter in my Bible is "The Greatness of God" and is all about how cool God is, about how powerful and caring He is and it just gave more depth and meaning to verse 31.  It was just a cool moment and inspired me to read the whole book.

I finally got my video done.  I just have to watch it on the TV and make sure it works and that the captions I added can be read.  My computer let me add a chapters menu, like all DVD's have, to jump to different parts of the DVD, but when I try it on the TV, it won't let me select a chapter.  But that is not a battle I want to fight.
