Anger and Action
The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the… Continue reading Anger and Action
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; unite my heart to fear your name. 12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, 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.
Not Consumed
"How was your week?" I felt rather awkward making small talk after this past week. I was pretty certain my answer to that question didn't fall in the 'small talk' category. I felt overwhelmed.

We remember our independence. We remember 9/11. We remember to honor our Veterans. We remember our Grandparents. We… Continue reading Reblog: A Day of Remembering
Good Friday: The atoning sacrifice
For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin. As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” “Their throat is an open grave; they… Continue reading Good Friday: The atoning sacrifice
Saturday Song: When All Thy Mercies
When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love and praise. Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. When worn with sickness, oft has Thou With health renewed my face;… Continue reading Saturday Song: When All Thy Mercies
Teaching on Grace
I saw a sign recently that read: this classroom runs on laughter, love, and lots of coffee. While I still want a sign like that for my desk, I've also been reminded recently that my classroom runs on grace. And mercy. It's only the second week into the new semester, but the crunch has already… Continue reading Teaching on Grace
