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 … More Resurrection Boldness

Post it to your weblog and achieve the cathartic thrill of self-expression. It feels great to decompress after a long day and write in your Weblog… and if it gets too … More Selfish Blogging
Perhaps I obtained a xanga site mainly so that I could read, not write. I have friends and family that have sites, and I trust that I’ll be encouraged, challenged, blessed, saddened, and broken by what I read and meditate on.
