I Never Lose Sleep, But…

Monday, January 26th, 2009 is (in foresight of the planned schedule) going to prove to be one of the biggest days of my life. It will rank somewhere between #3-5 depending on how we are counting. A group of men I barely know is going to assemble in the evening to make a decision that [...]

Blessed By Uncomfortable Grace

We all have a perverse capacity to be comfortable with what God says is wrong. So God blesses us with violent, uncomfortable grace. Yes, he really does love us enough to crush us, so that we would feel the pain of our sin and run to him for forgiveness and deliverance…. So God’s grace isn’t [...]

Uncommon Goodness

If God guides geese so precisely, he also guides the captain’s hands. God knew that when he took the plane down, he would also give a spectacular deliverance. So why would he do that? If he means for all to live, why not just skip the crash?

Favoritest Part

I was able to watch 20-30 minutes of inaugaration events this morning up to the actual swearing in (and the foible was the Judge’s error–he said it wrong the first time and it sounded weird from his first attempt).
