A Call To Worship, Part 4: Keep together!

April 30, 2010

Sing in time. Whatever time is sung, be sure to keep with it. Do not run before, nor stay behind it; but attend closely to the leading voices, and move therewith as exactly as you can. And take care you sing not too slow. this drawling way naturally steals on all who are lazy; and [...]

What is your Honduras?

April 29, 2010

The title of this may not make much sense, but read on. It comes from a post my friend Laura wrote this morning. She and her family will be leaving soon to live in Honduras, working with orphans and bringing Christ to a remote part of that country. She wrote: I believe God has given [...]

Sadly, this week proved my point

April 15, 2010

In a post I wrote a while back, I made the statement that: One of the most interesting things about it to me is that we are all still connected to our hometown in some way. Many of our parents or grandparents still live there, and some never left the area. The recent death of [...]

Goodbye, friend

April 14, 2010

What can you say about someone whose life ended so suddenly, so much earlier than ever imagined? What can you say if that same person was the one that nearly every guy wanted to be, every girl wanted to be with, and every parent wished their child was like him? What can you say about [...]
