Hebrews 4:15-16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help [...]

During an online conversation with a friend who wishes to remain anonymous, the following conversation occurred. We had been discussing the great WW2 columnist Ernie Pyle, which led to a discussion about Washington, D.C.

Lots of people collect lots of different things, but almost everyone has a collection of t-shirts (or tee-shirts) whether they mean to or not. I have a specific drawer for t-shirts. The drawer is never organized but rather one splattered array of colors and memories from how or why I acquired that specific shirt. (Oddly [...]

This post has stewed in my head for about a month and a half now, and I’m ready to give it a go. On April 13 of this year, my grandmother Marie passed away and went to heaven. I ‘d lost a grandparent when I was five, so these emotions weren’t new, but they were [...]

The end of Romans 8 (in the English Standard Version of the Holy Word): If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any [...]

“If God had perceived that our greatest need was economic, he would have sent an economist. If he had perceived that our greatest need was entertainment, he would have sent us a comedian or an artist. If God had perceived that our greatest need was political stability, he would have sent us a politician. If [...]

Tenth Avenue North’s “By Your Side”—I was going to bold my favorite parts, but I quickly realized I’d have to bold the whole song.
Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don’t turn away
Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching [...]
