Every day, with every word, we get to decide: Do we mar the world, or mark the world?

God reveals Himself in rearview mirrors.
filling-in world hunger
I hunger for filling in a world that is starved.
thanksgiving stress worry
Are stress and worry evidence of a soul too lazy, too undisciplined, to keep gaze fixed on God?
what-if his-love causes
What if I gave thanks in the trouble, for the trouble, because the trouble is a gift that causes me to turn? What if I loved God not for His goods but for His love itself that is goodness enough?
used accomplish gods-will
All God makes is good. Can it be that that which seems to oppose the will of God actually is used of Him to accomplish the will of God?
piano practice want
I want a life that makes music - not just practices the piano.

Satan's sin becomes the first sin of all humanity: the sin of ingratitude. Adam and Eve are, simply, painfully ungrateful for what God gave.

Life isn't an emergency. Christ is in charge of every moment of the day; nothing catches Him off guard.

Your naked body deserves the honor of being shared only with someone who is covenanted to never stop loving your naked soul.
thanksgiving running song
I know there is poor and hideous suffering, and I've seen the hungry and the guns that go to war. I have lived pain, and my life can tell: I only deepen the wound of the world when I neglect to give thanks for early light dappled through leaves and the heavy perfume of wild roses in early July and the song of crickets on humid nights and the rivers that run and the stars that rise and the rain that falls and all the good things that a good God gives.
parenthood mothering hardest
No one told me that it would all happen at the same hallowed time: Mothering is at once the hardest and the holiest and the happiest.
bows moments ifs
Every moment I live, I live bowed to something. And if I don't see God, I'll bow down before something else.
thanksgiving might way
Thanksgiving-giving thanks in everything-prepares the way that God might show us His fullest salvation in Christ.
