This afternoon, I will be leaving with a few close friends on a two-night hiking and camping trip on the Loyalsock Trail near World’s End State Park. I can’t wait!
My best man from our wedding will be going. His name is Jonathan Kasitz, and he is one of the most amazing, genuine people you will [...]

I will give thanks to the Lord
because of His righteousness;
I will sing the praises of the name
of the Lord Most High.
(Psalm 7:17 TNIV)
I will give thanks to the Lord because of His righteousness.
My soul will break forth with joyous shouts too long repressed.
I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord [...]
Happy Birthday, my Michelle
Posted in Life on Sep 26th, 2007
Today is Michelle’s birthday.
Happy Birthday, my love!
“The Sermon on the Mount is not an ideal, it is a statement of what will happen in me when Jesus Christ has altered my disposition and put in a disposition like His own. Jesus Christ is the only One who can fulfill the Sermon on the Mount.”
(taken from My Utmost for His Highest by [...]
Last night at church, one of the all-time greatest church moments of my lifetime happened. After the message, one of the pastors opened the mic to people who wanted to give God glory for what He’s done in their lives this past year. A few people got up to share some in-depth situations where the Lord [...]
Today we are having a little get-together at my brother and sister in law’s (Tim and Jen) with a few family members to celebrate (early) my big brother Aaron’s birthday and to watch the Eagles beat up on the Lions. Michelle offered to make the main course for lunch. In the past, she’s made a bangin’ white bean [...]
I just read this article, How Did Christianity Become an Excuse to Be Mean? by Helen Mildenhall.
And I found myself asking these questions:
“Why do I need to be right?”
“What is it in me that always needs you to be wrong?”
In my early days of walking with the Lord, there was a simple concept that impacted my life. [...]
Man of sorrows, spit upon,
Suffering Savior, greet the dawn,
Traversing Calvary’s lonely road,
The cross was not your only load,
The sin of the world pressing down,
The mocking crowd pressing round,
“Crucify Him!” reaches your ears,
The blood-thirsty mob cheers and jeers.
The self-righteous Pharisees
Boldly defy your deity.
Yet even dying on the cross,
Your heart was moved for the lost.
“Father, forgive,” we [...]
Psalm 4 (ESV)
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have given me relief when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2 O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
How long will you love vain words [...]
The image in my mind appears,
The suffering Savior on the cross
In blood and sweat and anguished tears,
Redemption has so high a cost.
He speaks to me, His voice I hear,
In a soft and loving tone,
“I am forsaken and abandoned here
So you will never be alone.
“Do not let your heart be troubled,
Do not let it be dismayed.
When all [...]
