So life...

...Is truly wonderful. To say God that is good is, and always will be, an understatement. If there's one thing I'm learning through my daily walk is that there is absolutely no human way to comprehend just how much He loves us. First and foremost, I'm blessed (yet another understatement) to be able to say that a beautiful woman has become part of my life. Her beauty expands far beyond physical (although she's got that going on as well) to the deepest part of her heart and soul. She loves God more than anything in the world, and I'm absolutely crazy about her. She also has one of the most amazing families I've ever met in my life. I couldn't be more blessed or joyful about the situation.
I'm also more than happy to announce, that after many years of not serving at church, I'm finally having ministry opportunities. God has opened up a door for me to be able to use my technical skills to serve him. I am so thankful that God continues to use me for a purpose.
Things that are a little less Important, yet still amazing....David Crowder's new album is his best yet. Filled with lyrics and praise to God, the electronic sounds keep Crowder's style original and full of fun and beautiful songs.
There are so many wonderful things going on, I hope you all are enjoying life as much as I am, and I pray that you can find all those blessings that God wants to give you in your life.

"Oh, how He loves us" - David Crowder

John Stott on Ambition


"The motto of our generation is, "Safety First." Many young men are looking for a safe job in which they can feather their nest, secure their future, insure their lives, reduce all risk, and retire on a fat pension. There is nothing wrong in providing for your future, but this spirit pervades our lives until life becomes soft and padded and all adventure is gone. We are so thickly wrapped in cotton wool that we can neither feel the pain of the world nor hear the Word of God...Jesus did not remain in the social immunity of heaven, or hideaway in the safety of the skies. He entered the zone of danger; risking contamination...How can we make safety our ambition?"
