Question: Who do you predict will win season eleven of The Biggest Loser?
Arthur Wornum: Courtney, since day one we have had a connection, she is like my little sister. My sentimental favorite is Courtney but my brain tells me if I had to put money on it, Olivia will win this season of The Biggest Loser. Olivia is one of the toughest competitors, I can’t tell you how strong that woman is.
You can tell me, Arthur…I know!!
“It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough. That it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our hearts sing.” – Steve Jobs at the iPad 2 event 3-2-11
It struck me that he used the phrase “makes our hearts sing.” This is such spiritual language. This is, I believe, the cry of the human heart. That there would be a song in our heart. It’s even interesting that so many other bloggers, etc. have picked this up and stated using it.
I love that the Scripture speaks about this:
…speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord… -Ephesians 5:19
He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the LORD. -Psalm 40:3
The Lord is the one who gives us the song in our heart…the more I seek Him the more melody I get.
The sessions are back! New tunes, covers, etc., etc., from a brand new “studio.” It happens to be my office :). This is a new tune I wrote about missing a certain someone…who might be on a certain TV show…that might be called The Biggest Loser ;).

I am yours, you are mine
We belong to one another
When we hurt our hearts break
We run for cover in one another
BRIDGE
Though you’re far away know you’re never alone
And the night can seem so late
So much left unknown
But we’re at home in our heart’s warm embrace
BRIDGE
I am yours, you are mine
We belong to one another
Sitting here cold, sleepy, all by myself in the late of the night. This week has been one of not much sleep. It’s been all good stuff, but it can kind of leave you in a haze. Missing my wife Olivia (if you didn’t know she’s a current contestant on NBC’s The Biggest Loser Link) and the simple joy she emanates when I come through the door to find her home. God is doing amazing things in and through her…I’m so excited.
I’m really just checking in before hitting the sack. Sleep will be nice–even if it’s just for a few hours.
Remember today that the Lord hides us in Him. We are hidden with God in Christ. All the battles can rage around us but we are safely resting with Him in that secret place. Find that place. Seek that place.
No one can take it away.
