Tomorrow I will have been married to Cindi for three years. To quantify the blessings of her companionship would be an exercise in futility. To qualify the gift that she is to me would be similarly vain. The worth of an excellent wife is only comprehensible to the men who have one, and even then … More Three-Year Anniversary
"Dying is so hard." — Mitsu Nasuti, Friday, November 25, 2005 I talked to my mom on the phone today.

Over the past … More Encourage Your Leaders: An Email to John Piper

Also, based on a few gracious comments I’ve received (thanks to those of you who spoke/wrote – it’s encouraging), it seems like it’s beneficial to keep writing. I’m very blessed to have the study/office that I have in our … More My Study, and a Prayer by John Piper
