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. She said that her older sister, my Aunt Mitsu, is as close to home as you can get without actually being there.

I don't have much time, but my mom called tonight and told me that her older sister (the oldest of five), my Aunt Mitsu, is in the final stage of succumbing to cancer. She doesn't want to eat or take her medication, which are sure signs that the battle is over. Her battle has not … More Aunt Mitsu: Not Much Time

After I had closed my cell phone, Bryan told me that we were a “cute couple.” (I don’t mind being called that. Coming from a friend like … More Lessons from My “Cindi Voice”

Over the past … More Encourage Your Leaders: An Email to John Piper
This is one of the sporadic August postings. I’m up late tonight because I took a nap this evening. 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

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, … More My Little Brother Greg
