...in the operating room as we speak...

nothing happens outside of God's hands. i want to believe that.

...but part of me doesn't.

please pray for mom.

obsessed

maybe it's okay to be single-minded, if you are pursuing the kingdom of God.


I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

For I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.



put all your eggs in one basket.


live out of balance.

a word

"For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose hearts are completely His."


don't give up. he will find you.

40 days

for lent, mom gave up chocolate. apparently she feels she hasn't suffered enough. and every night after dinner we are turning off the tv and reading from the bible. it is so good.






but life without chocolate ... it just isn't right.

oh me of little faith

sometimes, i feel overwhelming terror about what medical crisis we are going to face next...

i am not ready for her to go.

just judge that he is

"I for my part am already being poured out like a libation. The time of my dissolution is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on a merited crown awaits me; on that Day the Lord, just judge that he is, will award it to me - and not only to me, but to all who have looked for his appearing with eager longing."

perfect love does not regret

love without hesitation.


love without exception.


love those who hurt you.


love with abandon.


love the ones you want to hate.


love the impossible.

Awake, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
