Oh what joy for those whose rebellion is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of sin, whose lives are lives in complete honesty!
Psalm 32:1-2
The goal isn’t to be the person I want to be.
The goal is to become the person GOD wants me to be.
The cool part? My destiny is in His hands!

From the four corners of the earth people are coming to their senses, are running back to God. Long-lost families are falling on their faces before him. God has taken charge; from now on he has the last word.
All the power-mongers are before him —worshiping!
All the poor and powerless, too —worshiping!
Along with those who never got it together —worshiping!Our children and their children will get in on this As the word is passed along from parent to child. Babies not yet conceived will hear the good news — that God does what he says.

As long as Jesus is one of many options, he is no option. As long as you can carry your burdens alone, you don’t need a burden bearer. As long as your situation brings you no grief, you will receive no comfort. And as long as you can take him or leave him, you might as well leave him, because he won’t be taken half-heartedly.
But when you mourn, when you get to the point of sorrow for your sins, when you admit that you have no other option but to cast all your cares on him, and when there is truly no other name that you can call, then cast all your cares on him, for he is waiting in the midst of the storm.

Today I received a link to Brandon’s official video. Again I am struck by my desire to see people with God’s eyes. After fifteen years of being in ministry,[1] I sometimes find it hard not to be “jaded.” I really hope that I will have ears to hear the truth, a caring heart, and God’s eyes to see people through.
If you can’t view the video here, you can see it on youtube.[2]

... to my little corner of the internet. My blog's greatest asset is it’s auto-magically random randomness. A record of a few of my life observations, spiritual ponderings, and goofy anecdotes, I hope you find something that tickles or inspires you.
