Skiing and Incense
My dad sent me this devotional on prayer… It’s long, but it’s so good and so worth reading. You can spare 7 minutes to read this.

Marks of the Cross
A quote for you…Â compliments of Jess, compliments of Mr. Vance Havner. I think it speaks for itself.

Integrity Above Reputation
I struggled a lot with my reputation and the reputation of my family growing up… My family, particularly my parents, were well-respected in the church and overseas as missionaries. Everyone liked my family, and people would always comment on how “well-behaved” my brothers and sisters were. I guess you could say we had the “perfect” [...]

Quotes on Trust
Trust is a really hard thing for me. I don’t trust people readily… in particular when it comes to people that want to get close to my family or friends. I guess you could say that’s me being protective. I want to write more about trust… I’m still thinking a lot about what IÂ really think [...]

Last Thought
This is one of my favorite quotes… thought it would be a good one to end out the month of March with. Another month and I’ll be in the air on my way to spend a summer in Wyoming. Â

John 3:30 and Chambers
I thought I’d share a few thoughts, compliments of Oswald Chambers. From my understanding, the devotional for today centers around the verse John 3:30.
“He must become greater; I must become less.”

Quote to Think About
I could spend a long time writing about the talk that I was privileged to hear at Heritage Baptist Church today… but for my own sake, I’m wary of getting lost in the details and the passages of Scriptures and the deep theological meaning behind what I heard. Rather, I’d like you to think about [...]
