I was cleaning up some documents in my computer this morning, when I came across this simple poem I wrote last year. I actually posted it then as part of an entry on this site, but was struck this morning by its simplicity and power. So I’m re-posting it.
There is no pit so deep,
That Jesus is not […]
My favorite song on The David Crowder Band’s cd “A Collision” is “Come Awake.”
Incredible lyrics set to a powerful arrangement.
“Are we left here on our own?
Can you feel when your last breath is gone?

I’m trying to sell my truck on Craigslist. We love Craigslist.
So the car belonged to Michelle’s cousin Kim who is now a missionary […]
…I start my training as a missionary for Handi*Vangelism Ministries International (H*VMI) this week.
I will be starting Servant Orientation tomorrow morning.
To say I’m excited would be an extreme understatement.
I’m thrilled at the opportunity to be joining such a great group of missionaries in this compassion ministry.
Michelle has been serving with REST Ministries (a department of H*VMI) […]

“The universal early Christian belief was that Jesus had already been demonstrated publicly to be Israel’s […]
Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord, but the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.” And Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell […]
