Mondays come around so quickly, don’t they? After the events of the last few weeks, I sometimes find myself wanting the days to speed up and blur together. It’s as if the days passing will distance me from hard things that happen and it can be as if they had never happened. But today I… Continue reading Monday Moments

Kindness and Humor
Today’s themes: Kindness and Humor. Today is the last day before Christmas break, for which I am so thankful! But even more than that, I’m thankful for the memories of my students today.

Saturday Song: Now I Belong to Jesus
After reading this post from Desiring God, I felt inspired to play some old hymns that I haven't sung or played for quite a while.

Swirling Clouds and Songs
8 There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,
nor are there any works like yours.
9 All the nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
10 For you are great and do wondrous things;
you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, O Lord,
that I may walk in your truth;

and I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your steadfast love toward me;
you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. Psalm 86
Remembering 2-5-08 and God's amazing mercy.

Someone To Share With
Once there was a little girl who was loved by her mom and dad. The three of them lived happily together, laughing and loving. After two and a half years, a brother came along, and the three became four. Even though she wasn't ready to share her toys -- at least, not at first --… Continue reading Someone To Share With
