"I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands." Psalm 63:4 In a fleeting world and a breaking clock called "time," I lay my heart down. I am but dust and my words are merely afterthoughts of yesterday and the forming of tomorrow's dew that beads in the morning. Second by second hope draws this moment to tomorrow, whether it desires it or not. The God of all creation breathes breath into my lungs so that I can pant for Him. And as long as my lungs rise and fall, I will sing and praise the everlasting God. He who chooses whom He pleases to choose [...]

"Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you." Psalm 63:3 The twirling and fishing for all sorts of better-thans seem to often be all that many people are going through life for. Fueled by ambition, determination, and raises from one platform to another (financial or otherwise) seem to be the tunnel vision of many-a-human in the workforce and even the church-force (and home-force for that manner).

Realizing that somehow I ended up on the other side of the nation over the course of a year, in a ministry and life season that is challenging and awesome, and pursuing Him under the knowledge that He designed me [...]

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1 I've noticed as I drove this morning that you can tell the morning people from the people who are driving out on the road completely against all will and sanity (them not being morning people). I was pulling into QT this morning and some person was pulling out and driving like a drunk (hopefully they weren't). I think non-morning people should have designated drivers if they need to be out on the road early (myself included). Somewhere around Beaver Ruin Rd I began [...]
