eloquence lost
I have nothing eloquent to say today. I feel that I should be weeping upon my bed as David did for his sick child. While in this mind, the Lord drew me to this verse – so I will let my words be few:
The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed [...]

heart-feeling and devotion
Two things that are in front of me today. One is a passage I read today, the other a blog post that I read.
Psalms 42:5
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.
For [...]

salvation
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
~Paul, An Epistle to the Romans

who am i
Who am I? This or the other?
Am I one person today, and tomorrow another?
Am I both at once? A hypocrite before others,
and before myself a contemptibly woebegone weakling?…
Who am I? They mock me, these lonely questions of mine.
Whoever I am, thou knowest, O God, I am thine.
~Dietrich Bonhoeffer

central
I am sure most of the netizens out there have heard of Wordle. This little java applet can scrape text from a web page and use the common terms to form a text word cloud of your page.
It is really neat to see the central theme to a web page using the words on the [...]

talisman god
I have often thought about the depth of the spiritual life of the current “church”. I wonder what God thinks of us these days – and sometimes this causes no small amount of fear. I was discussing this with someone recently, and we got on to the topic of asking God for every little thing. [...]

valley time
I am feeling a low point coming on – I think. I do have “dry spells” where I go thirsty for a few days. Spiritually, these times are difficult. I am not sure why, but I have difficulty with routine and discipline; plus I am easily overwhelmed.
This time, I am going to try to post [...]

velvet faith
I am reading Rob Bell’s Velvet Elvis at the moment; a book recommended to me. First, I find it interesting because of the literary style – it seems very “30 second commercial” type of language. The statements are short and to the point, and they don’t flow together. Not that the book is incohesive and [...]

reconciliation
I haven’t posted in a while – life has been busy. From Colossians, where I am presently studying, here is a thought to meditate upon today.
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things [...]
