Boston Update - 5.5.12
Warning: This post is lengthy!
Before the update begins, I must give some shout outs to a few folks: - Mom and Dad: You rock. Thank you for your time, money and effort to get me up north. I couldn’t have asked for better parents who serve their children so willingly. I don’t deserve you! - Amanda K: I can’t believe you also gave up your time, money and effort to help me out with...
Coming Soon...

The Saving One
What mercy was revealed What selflessness and peace My fate was surely sealed Until He rescued me His pardon for my sin His bounty for my need From slavery and shame I am redeemed And Heaven can’t contain The glory of the Son Jesus is the Christ, the saving One His love has made a way The grave is overcome Jesus is the Christ, the saving One No fear can hold me...
Choosing Thankfulness
Over the past few days I’ve been slowly packing up my room. Surprisingly, it hasn’t been as emotional as I expected. Sure, there has been the occasional sadness of a blank wall or of memories being packed away, but I’ve been waiting for that moment…the moment that came last night.
We wrapped up a precious time of discipleship with the North Soma Group girls, and there I...
Fix Your Eyes On Jesus
Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who...
You Can Close Your Eyes
Well the sun is surely sinking down But the moon is slowly rising And this old world must still be spinning ‘round But I still love you So close your eyes You can close your eyes it’s alright I don’t know no love songs I can’t sing the blues anymore But I can sing this song You can sing this song when I’m gone It won’t be long before another day ...

Spiritual Blessings in Christ
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace,...

Happy 40th Anniversary to Mom and Dad!
This beloved couple has been married 40 years. 40 YEARS, people! Out of those 40, I have been able to witness 25 of them, and probably can recollect 19 of them. My parents made a covenant with one another a long time ago, and through good and bad, through rain and sunshine, through cancer and hard times at work, they have stood faithful to one another. From watching their marriage, I have...

A few hours ago I returned home from the “Behold the Lamb of God” (a.k.a. BTLOG) tour. If you know what that is, then you probably know where I’m headed with this blog post. If you don’t know what that is, then check it out here. Also, a few minutes ago on Twitter I said that I could not put into words what this experience was like. Well, this is me now, attempting to...

Confessions of A Workaholic
Today I realized something: I’m a workaholic.
I’m not necessarily a workaholic in the sense that I absolutely love what I do and want to work all the time because of it. (I’m an auditor. Do you know any auditors who truly love their job?) However, this busy season has shown me that I will do whatever it takes to get something done and off my list (and done as perfect as...
Sacred v. Secular
I recently finished A.W. Tozer’s “The Pursuit of God”. There are too many dog-earred pages and underlined sentences to recall in a single post or even in multiple posts. However, I did want to mention one passage of his book that has been on my mind the past week.
In the last pages of his book, Tozer addresses the all too common divide we have created between...

Jesus is the better David.
“I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him, so that my hand shall be established with him; my arm also shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not outwit him; the wicked shall not humble him. I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him. My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted. I will...
