Love's Price
It’s Christmas time again, and half the world is busy telling us that we should be more tolerant and love each other, while the other half is still trying to kill each other. Somehow, I don’t really think most folk really understand what love is. Or tolerance, for that matter.
Love is doing, is wanting what’s best for the loved one. It’s warning ( Read more... ) -

Will your anchor hold in the storms of life
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife
When the storm clouds rage and the cables strain
Will your anchor drift or firm remain?
So run the lines of the old hymn.
France. Ukraine. Yemen. Baghdad. Tunisia. Afghanistan. Turkey. Brussels. The list of pain goes on and on. And the world asks "why", and ( Read more... ) -
Christ Is Risen
Jesus Wept (or: The Problem of Pain)
For my good friend Wick, who asked the question everyone who suffers or watches other suffer asks.
“Why”
Why them? Why me? Why is God silent? Why does this have to happen to good people?
There is, of course, no good answer. Nothing that will not sound trite or overly religious. Even in the gospels, Jesus never ( Read more... ) -

This Is Love
Annual Easter Post!
Soundtrack start:
Have you heard of a God of love
Of a God who cares?
Have you heard how he came among us
Stepping down from the heights of heaven
Breathing air He made?
Have you heard He was one of us
Shared our joy and tears?
Did you know he restored the broken
Healed the lame, made the blind to see
Brought his kingdom near

Patiently I
Await for the dawn
And lose not sight of hope
Sooner or later
All shadows fail
And morning will come again

Psalm 51 - The Prayer of a Penitent Man
Sons of Korah in concert yesterday - I swear they get better every year
Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you only, ( Read more... )
