Here are a few quotes that have struck me hard. I feel like this is the first time I have ever heard anything like this and [...]

Pray for Samuel
The neurologist called today to tell us that Samuel’s EEG results show some minor abnormalities in his brain waves. This could mean a number of things, from first signs of epilepsy, to a susceptibility to seizures, to unexplainable abnormalities.

I was tagged by Matt Wireman. I always enjoy seeing what others have read and what books they’ve been influenced by.
1. One book that changed your life: “Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist” (John Piper) This book rocked my theological world in college and continue to shake me in a good way.
2. One [...]
