A garment of praise for my heaviness, You are the greatest taste; You’re the richest of fare.
Reflect again on what 2 Corinthians 5:15 says about what sin does to us. If sin...

I feel so strongly that I must say that there is a love out there that no one has ever fully known. Not that love isn’t willing to make itself known; rather, it is so eager to love, in the fullest sense. Instead I am often too distracted or blind or foolish. But this weekend, oh I had a taste of what it meant to be loved by Love himself (Christ, I shall not shrink from his holy name). And I...
Beloved, it is a beautiful day to love and to be...

I. To write words of worth, where do I begin? You’ve heard it all before: sickness, sorrow, sin.

I was at Barnes and Noble with a friend, and I pointed at a book and remarked that celebrity culture was such a strange phenomenon that you could have a whole book dedicated to pictures of you. The book was a 50% off of vintage Audrey Hepburn photos. She said later that Facebook was scary, the amount of attention spent on the online web was scary: you could be your own PR...
