Eu a avea excitat! (I am excited!)

When I was with my family last week, I was talking to my dad, and after our thirty minute conversation, I’m going to Romania again on a mission trip!  I can’t even explain to you how happy and excited I am.  I’ve been twice now to Romania with my dad, and this year, my mom [...]

O come let us ADORE Him.

I just wanted to say that I hope all of you have a wonderful, wonderful Christmas.  I pray that your time with your families would be blessed, and that we would all remember the true meaning of Christmas.  That the Christ Israel had waited for for four hundred years, was born in a manger, 2000 [...]

Just scribbling.

She had eyes as blue as the ocean
And hair as grey as the skies
A smile that could melt my heart
And faith that never died
Mary, Mary, I miss You so.
Mary, it was Your time to go
And you’re dancing with Jesus
He’s holding Your hand
This world is broken, and I now understand
Why You had to go home…
She had [...]

Christmas is coming.

“On this side of eternity, Christmas is still a promise. Yes, the Savior has come, and with him peace on earth, but the story is not finished. Yes, there is peace in our hearts, but we long for peace in our world.
Every Christmas is still ‘a turning of the page’ until Jesus returns. Every December [...]

the heart of life

I don’t know anything about John Mayer.   But maybe He has a better understanding of some things then I do…
“Pain throws your heart to the ground…
Love turns the whole thing around.
No it won’t all go the way it should,
BUT I know the heart of life is good.”

Sing unto the LORD, all the earth…

One of my passions has been, and will always be, music.  Singing, playing guitar, writing lyrics.  I love it all.
After going to see the play “This Man Called Jesus” with some folks from Midtown, we went over to the Watershed (which, BY THE WAY, is completely awesome…).  The Watershed is like this really laid back [...]

Truth.

You can never truly enjoy Christmas until you can look up into the Father’s face and tell him you have received his Christmas gift.
–John R. Rice

Hallelujah, HALLELUJAH, Heaven’s love reaching down to save the world…

My heart is broken in the best way possible.  Last night was so good for my soul.  Not only is it absolutely breathtaking…beautiful…wonderful… to watch our church family responding to the call of Christ… by taking off the shoes on their feet to give them to those that don’t even have shoes and are walking [...]

More and more I need you now, I owe you more each passing hour…

Old school Jars of Clay?
Yes, please.
I have always loved this song…. the music, the lyrics, it’s always spoken to me in a deep way that I can’t explain.  This song is the true cry of my heart.  And I hope it speaks to yours as well.

I look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting [...]
