Your faithfulness

"Who is like you, Lord God Almighty?

You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds You."

~Psalm 89, Ethan de Ezrathiet

The sound of the rain

"The light of the sun slowly fades away as the thick smoky gray clouds hide it away.
Then it all starts with a low pitched pitter patter then a louder plip, plop that quickly begins to intensify. Pretty soon the rain starts to pound fiercely against the glass window tap,
tap creating a sharp quickening rhythm that’s all its own.
The sound of the rain is so strong and over powering that it forces me to listen to its song."
~William Blake

Silent weary tear

"Oh give me mercy for my dreams

'Cause every confrontation seems to tell me

What it really means

To be this lonely sailor

And when the sky begins to clear

The sun it melts away my fear

And I shed a silent weary tear

For those who mean to love me"

~Dougie MacLean

Something that is above you

"A proud man is always looking down on things and people;

and, of course, as long as you are looking down,

you cannot see something that is above you."

Do not be proud

"Live in harmony with one another.

Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position."

Not an abstraction

"My identity as Abba’s child is not an abstraction or a tap dance into religiosity.

It is the core truth of my existence."

A woman uses

"A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition."

Never forget what Jesus did for you

"Never forget what Jesus did for you. Never take lightly what it cost Him.

And never assume that if it cost Him His very life,

that it won't also cost you yours."

~Rich Mullins

Symbols for the unimaginable

"The grave and the image are equally links with the irrecoverable
and symbols for the unimaginable."

The great Bridge Builder

"But I will not tell you how long or short the way will be;

only that it lies across a river.

But do not fear that, for I am the great Bridge Builder."

~C.S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

When you come down

"Radical isn't about how high you jump in a worship service,

its about how you walk when you come down."

~Mike Bickle

Completely fearless and in constant trouble

"Jesus promised his disciples three things—

that they would be completely fearless, absurdly joyful,

and in constant trouble."

~G.K. Chesterton

The marks of His presence

"My idea of God is a not divine idea. It has to be shattered from time to time.

He shatters it Himself.

He is the great iconoclast.

Could we not almost say that this shattering is one of the marks of His presence?"

~C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

Why beer was invented

"Let a man walk ten miles steadily on a hot summer's day along a dusty English road,
and he will soon discover why beer (Guinness) was invented."
