Saturday Song: A Debtor to Mercy Alone
(*Note: I highly recommend this version by Sovereign Grace) Augustus Toplady, author of Rock of Ages, wrote several other hymns, including this Saturday's song, A Debtor to Mercy Alone. What a wonderful thing to be a debtor to mercy alone - not in the sense that I could repay, for then grace would cease to… Continue reading Saturday Song: A Debtor to Mercy Alone

Last May, I had just finished my degree and was feverishly sending out job applications (while trying to catch up on sleep). Little did I know that I would end up, a year later, two states and one time zone away... already missing the 24 kids who call me their teacher.
