The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s own or real life. The truth is, of course, that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life - the life God is sending one day by day. –C. S. Lewis

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.
To all, life Thou givest, to [...]

So any day now, I’m hoping this second blast of cold or flu or whatever will finally finish its course and I’ll be able to breathe and think clearly again. My head feels full of cement one day, then a sloshing ocean the next. But the cough is almost gone, and I’m very thankful for [...]

Just when I was beginning to feel better, the coughing cold came back, then fever and chills. There’s absolutely no pun intended when I say I’m really sick of this…
And I probably won’t be doing much blogging, but if you haven’t read this, go now.

This hymn reminds me of a short prayer that I’ve learned from hearing Alistair Begg pray before he speaks, “Let this Book live to me, Lord; show me Yourself within Your Word. Show me myself and show me my Savior, and let this Book live to me.”
Before Thy mercy seat, O Lord,
Behold, Thy servants stand,
To [...]

I’ve had one around most of my life. Skippy (whom I’m holding) is the first family dog I remember. My sister Rachel and I are hanging onto Laddie, wild dog of the farm. Next came Toby, a drooling Boxer, then Buster, with whom I never bonded. After getting married, we [...]

It’s been pretty quiet around this corner of blogland, but if you had turned up the volume you would have heard copious amounts of coughing and hacking during the past couple of…weeks was it?…it felt like a month. Like I’ve read from others of you, what little energy I had was put toward work, home, [...]

As I walked the treadmill this week, I’ve been listening to a sermon series on Galatians by Alistair Begg. He often quotes hymns during his sermons (I love that!) and yesterday’s sermon included this one. Since I’ve been singing it ever since, it seems right to post it once again. I recommend the Galatians series [...]
