I have decided to mix it up a bit today and bring you (my faithful blog reader) a little musical treat. This song was (I think) written many years ago by a then Wheaton College student named Peter for a fellow student named Jill. The name of the song is, “I will […]
“If you’re thirsty, you may drink. Are you not thirsty?” said the Lion. “I’m dying of thirst,” said Jill. “Then drink,” said the Lion. “May I – could I – would you mind going away while I do?” said Jill. “Will you promise not to-do anything to me, if I […]
Tell me a story Please tell it soon Give it some conflict And a hero or two Tell me a story I must know the end Of battles gone by, and boys grown to men Tell me a story Tell it with grace Make it so grand And yet commonplace […]
But in the war for a place in the sun, we must never mistake conquest for final victory, and above all, we must never mistake failure for final defeat. Because even if we do not find our place in the sun, or not quite the place we want, or a […]
Things are really happening here! A few weeks ago I wrote that I was going to go to a church event on a Friday night. Well… I did go and I met a lot of great people! I sat next to a really nice guy who is even taller than I […]
… that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. – Romans 8:18 No matter how bad things may get, it’s going to be that much better later on. It’s actually not even worth comparing.
I’ve been driving around Dallas in a beaten up car. My dashboard lights don’t work. The radio doesn’t work. The grill fell off. The front side is dented. The hood requires two people to open and close. I can only use my key to unlock the passenger side and my […]
I got into Dallas last Friday. I’m still looking for jobs without much success. I went to the singles group for the church Watermark on Tuesday night. Kind of scary. There were like 300 people there and I didn’t know any of them. I did make progress and met one person, […]
It’s the middle of the night and my little niece is ferociously screaming. I’m thinking again how there are so many grown up people ferociously screaming, it’s just all muffled on the inside and called depression. As the little one misses the Garden of Eden, I’m thinking about how difficult […]

Because we’re going through our lives, and we’re trying as hard as we can, and things just seem to always blow up in our faces, and we keep going, ‘God, God, why?’ We don’t know what he’s doing. So just let him do it. If you really believe he’s good, then let him do it. People always say, ‘I don’t know where the Lord is leading me.’ I always say, it don’t really make a whole lot of difference. The important thing is to be where he has led you to already. If he has led you into a marriage, then be faithful there. If he has led you into being single, then be faithful there. If he has blessed you with many material goods, then be a good steward of those goods. And if he has blessed you by allowing you to imitate his life of poverty, then imitate it with great joy.
