Love wins.
Love triumphs
Over all.
My head spins,
My heart jumps,
And tears fall.
What is this love that I have found?
That indwells and surrounds?
And confounds me altogether?
This love frees me while it tethers.
Love wins.
Love triumphs
Over all.
My head spins,
My heart jumps,
And tears fall.
Yet how quickly I let go of
This surreal, undeserved love,
While above this world’s noise,
I can hear its whispered joys,
saying, […]

In the movie A Good Year, Uncle Henry’s character makes this statement to a young Max Skinner after defeating him on the tennis court, “A man should acknowledge his losses just as gracefully as he celebrates his victories…You’ll come to see that a man learns nothing from winning. The act of losing however, elicits great […]
The patient, unending, unswerving, tireless, relentless love of my God amazes me. Who am I to deserve such love? What have I done except prove myself unworthy of its outpouring. And yet, and yet, with a gentle and powerful force, my God sweeps into my life, silencing my cries of unworthiness with one nail-scarred hand […]
II Chronicles 20:12 states, “…For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” Jehoshaphat was king of Judah, and an army was coming against them–an army that would surely defeat them. So he sought the face of the […]
My soul is pained,
My heart is sore,
My garment stained,
My spirit poor.
Where shall I run to find true rest?
My soul seeks Jesus of Nazareth.
My faith is weak,
My flesh is strong,
My outlook bleak,
My pathway long,
Where can I stop to catch my breath?
My soul seeks Jesus of Nazareth.
I need His grace,
I just need Him,
In His embrace
I’m loved again.
In […]
In the movie “Superman Returns,” Superman meets the lovely Lois Lane on the roof of The Daily Planet office. You may remember she was trying to light a cigarette and he kept blowing it out.
Anyway, he asks her to come with him on an aerial tour of the city, to which she agrees. While silently […]
I’m not a huge fan of movies from Marvel comics. I know a lot of people are, and I’m making enemies by stating that they are not my cup of tea. But nonetheless, last night, we got “Superman Returns.” It was actually pretty good.
But I was again blown away by the simple truth that no […]
It’s not about a cause.
It’s not about a creed.
It’s not a new set of laws,
But it’s all about my need
To follow Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
Who gave me this life, this borrowed breath.
I know how it feels to be thirsty,
And to taste of the Water of Life.
I know how it feels to need […]
Life is so unpredictable. A few days ago, Michelle and I were living life, our thoughts and energies focused on the “normal” mundane, everyday things of life. And then on Tuesday, we got news that rocked our world and became THE thing we were focusing on, not by choice, but by default.
Our first anniversary is […]
I often get stymied when I try to express worth to my Jesus. And I’m a writer with a semi-large vocabulary. But words just fall short of conveying to my Lord what He means to me. But there is one word that seems to come the closest. That word is hallelujah.
Whether I sing it, […]
