His Grace Is Sufficient
If none of God's saints were troubled and tried—we would not know half so well the consolations of divine grace. When we find the wanderer who has nowhere to lay his head, who yet can say, "Still...

Many Little Blessings
Not enough hours in the day. I seem backlogged on subjects I want to write about. Still haven't got my notes written from the sermon I was interested in. Naturally, several studies that week coin...
Equipped For Service

Once Upon Adrift
http://youtu.be/v5J7LZhmuYE Knowing where I am anchored for the past few years I can't help but be humbled by the burden God carries for me. The past 48 hours have been insane for me to keep up ...
Hands Of Time
Life is taking place in some weird dimension I haven't felt before. Thursday everything needed doing so rapidly, Friday was an attempt to calm the craziness and make plans. When Saturday came alo...
Inside Out

Saint, Step Up!
One place I keep my mouth shut and gently let my Christian life be exposed is Facebook. It's a firestorm waiting to happen, but occasionally a door will open. I don't walk through those doors bec...

Making The Most Of A Sleepless Night
Just good. CRANK IT UP! and enjoy. I'm not nuts about the second tune on the CD, "Sold My Soul", the title kinda says why I suppose. "1,000,000,000,000 Miles Away" and "What You're Looking For" ...

And that is when this story began.
