I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me ~ Galatians 2:20 ESV
There is nothing people can or need to do. Only Christ could do—and has done—what must be done to make people acceptable to God.

Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? ~ Romans 2:4
Lyrics:
Once again Lord, I come broken
I come broken to Your Throne
You receive me (with) arms wide open
(And) You adoringly welcome me home
Once again Lord, I come humbly
I come humbly to Your Throne
You receive me (with) arms wide open
(And) You adoringly welcome me home
I cry out Your name
Jesus my Savior You reign
I cry out Your name
Jesus my Savior You reign
Once once again Lord I come grateful
I come grateful to Your Throne
You receive me (with) arms wide open
(And) You adoringly welcome me home

The goodness of God makes possible indulgence in the hearts of foolish men, but brings about repentance in the hearts of wise men. ~ Jon Courson
My daughter’s good and compassionate nature makes her a prime target for others who want to take advantage of her. (I never had to teach her how to act, but how to protect herself from how she acts naturally). Yet I’ve experienced myself taking advantage of God’s love and kindness. Not so much now as I’ve matured in my faith, but as a young man when I was beginning my journey.
It’s becoming ever imperative that I delve into His Word often as a way of staying on the straight and narrow. I’ve found it to be the best way to remain cognizant of my attitude and responses in my life and the world around me. In doing so I can recognize and correct my worldly desires and in a beautiful way reinforce my relationship with God.
Lord, thank you for your never-ending tolerance and patience. May I never grow into a life of ungratefulness.
Pray on,
Eddy
I gave my daughter away last Saturday. Now that statement by itself sounds awful, but then we read in Genesis 3:24 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” And that brings me comfort, that warms my heart, because over the past few years I’ve seen my daughter, and my son-in-law act as one through some highs and some lows.
In Eph 5:33 Paul writes, “Let each one of you men, love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.” All any father can hope for, pray for, is a man who puts his daughter above himself, and commits to a lifetime of loving her, and that prayer’s been answered in the affirmative.
Yes, last Saturday I gave my daughter away, but today I’m a peaceful and contented father, and father-in-law. Lord, bless them with happiness and a healthy and long journey together.
The Bestowing
As I sit by the window, coffee in hand
And the sun begins to shadow the sound
My mind drifts to memories, of a little girl
That will later be clothed in a gown
Her smile will be the same as it ever was
Reflecting on all that it greets
As later today we’ll make that walk together
Where I’ll give my daughter away for keeps
He loves her as much as I could expect
Maybe a little more
And it gives my heart solace, as a piece breaks off
To know that he’ll catch it before it hits the floor
Her smile will be the same as it ever was
Reflecting on all that it greets
As later today we’ll make that walk together
When I give my daughter away for keeps
She’s waited what seems like all of her life
To arrive at this moment in time
A moment that’ll be covered with tears of joy
And no doubt some will be mine
Her smile will be the same as it ever was
Reflecting on all that it greets
As later today we’ll make that walk together
When I give my daughter away for keeps

When your load is light
Take notice and be grateful
Appreciate it

Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.
One of my favorite acts of kindness is to purchase happy meals for the homeless. Providing some nourishment and catching the smile is priceless. If there’s a problem, it’s that I don’t act on it enough.
I saw a shirtless boy with a bag of donuts
Watching the sun come up
As I passed him by between his next mouthful
He smiled and asked wassup?
I could see on his face the innocence behind his tired eyes
I could hear in his voice the embarrassment beneath the worn out lies
What I do, what I do
What I do, what I do
What I do, what I do
What I do, what I do is immeasurable
~ E.M.
