God’s Presence
I found this quote written in one of my class binders today. I can’t remember who it’s from, but I thought it was a good one. I wouldn’t have written it down if I didn’t…
It is one thing to be without hope for the future. It is an entirely different thing to be without God [...]

Imitating Christ’s Humility
A close friend reminded me of this passage from Philippians 2:1-11…
If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and [...]

Thoughts and Wesley
I was sitting in my dad’s room this morning… just checking emails and talking. I had to make a few calls — I’m going out to dinner with Wim, Johnny, and Mr. McElwee, an older gentleman and friend from Wim’s church. He invited us to come up to his house in Nashville for dinner. I’m looking forward [...]

Confession and Fellowship
One of my good friends gave me a chapter out of the book Life Together. I don’t know who the book is by, but the chapter she gave me is entitled Confession and Communion. One of the first quotes that caught my eye was the following:
The sin concealed separated him from the fellowship, made all [...]

Vocal Chords and Ephesians 6
I hate alarm clocks. I usually never have a problem waking up to any sort of noise in the morning, but just in case, I always set two alarms for my 8:00 a.m. classes. The first one goes off at 7:00 and the second at 7:15. Well, I heard the first one… I reached over [...]

Words of Wisdom
“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure…than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to [...]

John Donne
I have to write a sonnet for CHOW 2 for Friday… does anyone know how to write a sonnet in iambic pentameter with a rhyming scheme of abba, cddc, efef, and finally gg? We’re studying some of John Donne’s poetry, and the guy was a genius (at least as far as writing sonnets is concerned). To [...]

Falling in Love
It’s been an encouraging day. I woke up feeling cold, tired, and sick… you know those nights when you fall asleep on your arms (yes, both of them), and then they pretty much become dead weight? That definitely happened to both of my arms twice during the night. And when my alarm finally went off [...]

“Called By God”
