wednesday worship (revisiting israel)

it’s been a minute since i last posted a wednesday worship entry on here. so, today’s post has to be good, yo, in order to constitute as a triumphal re-entry into this weekly category.
i hesitate to call this post wednesday worship, and then talk about only music. the book of romans in the […]

sunday night after church

1. great morning. real fun day.
2. it was sunny when i got to the church building this morning. just as we were about to start second service, i looked outside and saw that it was pouring. now i’m looking at a beautiful, wispy blue sky, and the sun is uber bright. […]

fingerprints of god

this week, i’ve been at an event called district assembly for the church of the nazarene, which is the denomination that my church belongs to. every year they get together to listen to pastors report on the past year of ministry and vote on whatever official church business is being discussed and sing old songs […]

muffin top challenge

welp, i ran a total of about 16 miles this week. did a nine-miler and a bunch of shorter ones. my shins, ankles, and knees are sore and tight. so my father-in-law took me and got me an early birthday present of some new running shoes, since i’ve been pounding around in […]

why i do what i do

i just guided a troubled young dude through a u-turn prayer. the fight didn’t end today…it’s just getting started in his life, but today he asked god to forgive him for ignoring him all these years and turned around and is trying to follow christ instead of everybody else.
what an amazing experience. reflecting […]
