a snap shot in life, a glimpse through the window, a glance between souls, a tiny picture of me; welcome to the garden of my thoughts

if i am blessed with children one day, i hope not to teach them to pray, to read books, to share, to listen to mom and dad, or to believe in God.  

i pray instead that my wife and i shall instill into them the the joy of praying, the joy of reading, the joy of giving, the joy of discipline, and the joy of believing in a God who loves them incredibly.

mm but until then, may these joys become ever more personal each day, Lord.  Amen.

ever thankful for His great love. 

Unfaithful, ungraceful, and definitely unloving. that is what I was today. And still He loves me.

Grace is more than a principle, more than an idea, more than a doctrine or dogma, more than a cover-up for sin. Grace is a person. And his name is Jesus.

Oh my gosh, I LOVE MY FG SO MUCHHH!!! We had fun, we learned, we encouraged, we loved, and we taught each other. We really became a family this year. Each and every single one of you, now matter how well I know you -or don’t-, have a special place in my heart. Through the ups and downs, the sorrows and joys, the stressful times and peaceful times, we supported each other and loved on each other. 

It was truly a privilege and a blessing. Thank you guys so much and thank God for bringing us together.

Pretty good piece.  I’ve never really thought of it that way.

Hm, I never noticed the repercussions of such thought until now…or rather, I saw the symptoms but couldn’t identify the cause.
