Costume Party

So for the costume party last week with our College/Young Adult fellowship, the challenge was for people to team up and dress up together. The Mah family decided to dress up and play Doctor. I showed up to the party as an OB/GYN and my wife Monica came dressed as a pregnant woman. Each team that dressed up had to do a presentation of their costumes. Here's ours that won us the "Funniest" award (apparently Google Chrome isn't playing the video):



On another note, tonight I decided that we were going to have family Bible reading time. By God's grace, I happened to be in Dt. 6 for my quiet times. The Scripture was quite fitting:

" 1 These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life...

4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.[a] 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."

Being a father is incredible. People often ask, "How's being a daddy?". YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. unless you're a dad and you do, I guess. I LOVE THIS KID SO MUCH IT'S SO INTENSE. It almost hurts. Have you ever loved someone so much that it like literally hurts? I asked my friends yesterday if it's possible to love my son so much, that it's displeasing to God.

I pray SO MUCH, like EVERYDAY, that Evan would grow up to genuinely love the Lord. I pray that his whole life would be devoted to Him. And after reading tonight's passage, I hope that Evan's love for the Lord would be even more intense than my own love for Evan. So much that it hurts! And as the Scripture says, the command for me is to teach him to Love the Lord, when I sit with him and walk with him, when we lay down and when we get up. May I live out this Greatest of Commandments.
