David Wood’s Story
In the video below, apologist David Wood tells the story of his conversion while travelling through New York. It’s so creative and I loved the allusions to Plato’s Cave…
Music Monday: Perfect Father
A friend of my back from in England just shared a song he wrote…
You made me from the dust of the earth
Breathed Your life in me
You bought me with Your blood on the cross
Laid down Your life for me
What can I say before such mercy?
What can I do before such grace?
All I can do is say I’m thankful
All I can say to You is I’m Yours
You are my Perfect Father,
Abba, forever in Your arms
(repeat)
You chose me to Yours from my birth,
Your grace has called my name
You gave me everything that was Yours,
For all my sin and shame
I need a deeper revelation an even greater understanding
Of the depths of Your forgiveness for me
Let me experience the heights the full dimensions of Your love
That You gave access through Your death on the cross
Crowning in Marriage
Next month I get married. In the Byzantine Church we are “crowned” in marriage and the service is quite a bit different from what you might expect. So, to help those attending, I’m building up a list of resources…
Wise Words On Wednesday: Greatness
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
Music Monday: Forty Days
Since it’s forty days until we say, “I do”…
Forty days to wander
Forty days to die to self
Forty days to grow stronger
As faith breaks open the gates of hell
The jubilee is over
But grace is far from gone
In the hearts of the faithful
Broken on the wheels of love
‘Cause in the desert of temptation
Lies the storm of true conversion
Where springs of living water drown and refresh you
And as the Jordan pours out change
Your true self is all that remains
Where springs of living water bind and break you
Bind and break you
Forty days to remember
The Paschal Sacrifice
Forty days to discover
His passion calls us to new life
The jubilee is over
But mercy’s far from gone
In the arms of the Father
As the wayward child comes home
‘Cause in the desert of temptation
Lies the storm of true conversion
Where springs of living water drown and refresh you
And as the Jordan pours out change
Your true self is all that remains
Where springs of living water bind and break you
Bind and break you
Bind and break you
Bind and break you
Love in a time of COVID-19
Marie and I will still be getting married at the end of July. Unfortunately, with the present COVID restrictions, the wedding itself is going to be very small, restricted to our wedding party and Marie’s immediate family. Due to travel restrictions, all of my family will be watching the livestream from England (while dressed in their formal wedding attire, of course)!
However, since we took the time to create a wedding website, I thought we’d share it here and ask for your prayers as I prepare to make Marie the happiest woman in the world!
