"If the praise of others elates me and their blame depresses me; if I cannot rest under misunderstanding without defending myself; if I love to be loved more than to love, to be served more than to serve, then I know nothing of Calvary love."

Psalm 55 is currently speaking to all of my instincts:
"Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest--I would flee far away and stay in the desert; I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm."

Jesus, worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us,
Son of God and Man, You are high and lifted up
and all the world will praise YOUR GREAT NAME

WILT Thou forgive that sin where I begun,

Which was my sin, though it were done before?

Wilt Thou forgive that sin through which I run,

And do run still, though still I do deplore?

When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done;

For I have more.

Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I have won

Others to sin, and made my sins their door?

Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I did shun

A year or two, but wallow'd in a score?

When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done;

For I have more.

I have a sin of fear, that when I've spun

My last thread, I shall perish on the shore;

But swear by Thyself that at my death Thy Son

Shall shine as He shines now and heretofore:

And having done that, Thou hast done;

I fear no more.






my SIN, O the bliss of this glorious thought
my SIN, not in part but the whole
is nailed to the cross
and i bear it no more
PRAISE THE LORD
PRAISE THE LORD, O MY SOUL




"The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love."
Psalm 145:8

PRAISE GOD, from whom all blessings flow.

my friend Kelly recently wrote a super-convicting blog post about some stuff that's been pressing on her heart--and lately, on my heart as well.
in an age of "gadgets and gizmos a-plenty", this hits home:
clicky click for the goods
