Too private to post what I had typed out… what a longing. Read the book, and follow this man who followed his Savior.

My, Father, what a work You have done in my little brother Greg. Perhaps we will live and minister and die together in a far-off land reaching the unreached. That would have been unimaginable just two years back. He is so alive now. Alive from the dead. ”Our chains fell off, our heart was free, we rose, […]

Long posts lately, I’m noticing. Too long-winded, I suppose. Long-worded, I mean. Many-worded, to be more accurate. Ah, the pursuit of clarity never ends. It takes a lot of work to be precise, doesn’t it? I’ll put that one aside for now lest I become many-worded again (although the more I think about it, working […]

I watched “The Day After Tomorrow” with my father-in-law today. Something stuck out to me: There is a noticeable and heavy and seemingly inherent respect that resides in the human heart for those who put themselves and their well-being aside for the sake of another person. A father committing to come and find his son no […]

So many meditations waiting, so little time… there is an innumerable amount of concepts and Bible truths and analogies and aspects of nature and past experiences (both my own and those of others) and riveting analogies and nuances of personalities and corners of the human heart and especially characteristics of God in all three of His […]

More set-up today after the move to Oak Manor. God was unsurprisingly, shockingly gracious. Things fell into place right and left, directed by His sovereign hand. I’m currently sitting in my new office. An undeserved blessing to an ill-deserving sinner. To study the Word of God in a private, quiet room with air conditioning and a […]

I’m studying right now, and I don’t want to be. Cindi is setting up our new apartment at Oak Manor right now because the carpets just dried from their steam-cleaning earlier today, and I would much prefer to be helping her. This is a lesson in endurance. Endurance is pushing through (with excellence in both […]

The importance of metaphors and analogies in matters of truth is grievously underestimated, I think. Spiritual lessons, conversational and counseling clarity, the communication of biblical realities, and the quest to mentally grasp indescribable spiritual concepts – all of these and more are benefited immensely by the use of metaphors and analogies. A few examples: (1) Faith-driven confidence in the […]

This is my fourth post in as many days. Either I’m being faithful to last Wednesday’s post and my desire to not frustrate any readers by posting only once every two months, or I’m wasting my time… I suppose I could be doing both. Perhaps “wasting my time” is a bit strong. I have enjoyed […]

I’m currently waiting for some time to spend musing on the concept that God brought to my mind the other day: “resurrection boldness.” In Acts, the unashamed, fearless courage of the apostles (especially Peter, who had unblushingly denied his Lord not so long ago) came directly from their undoubting knowledge that their master and leader […]

God has been so good to me. Tonight was our last night together as the Deans’ Staff. We laughed and we cried and we cared and we prayed. Kent Dresdow flew down from the Bay Area to join us for the evening after moving up there a week ago – he got in around 5:00pm […]

(As a courtesy, I think I’ll try to begin posting much more frequently on the site here. It can be quite frustrating to check someone’s site and to find a new entry only once every two months. I realize that, so I will attempt to change it, hopefully without saying things when there’s nothing to say. […]
