There’s nothing wrong with having a plan. Plans are great. But missions are better. Missions survive when plans fail, and plans almost always fail.”

It is in the process of being worshiped that God communicates His presence to men.
C.S. Lewis, Reflections on the Psalms

Great song from the Shane and Shane’s new album. This song reminds me of the same heart that is heard in the psalms.  The song is called “without you”…an excellent reminder of the need for humility in response to the gift of His grace.

I have been looking through pictures lately and came across this picture that reminded me how not only the importance of the vine, but the essential guidance of the gardener. “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunesso that it will be even more fruitful.” John 15:1-2 photo credit goes to Jared Romine on his way through central California

I wish, brothers and sisters, that we could all imitate “the pearl oyster”—A hurtful particle intrudes itself into its shell, and this vexes and grieves it. It cannot reject the evil, but what does it do but “cover” it with a precious substance extracted out of its own life, by which it turns the intruder into a pearl! Oh, that we could do so with the provocations we receive from our fellow Christians, so that pearls of patience, gentleness, and forgiveness might be bred within us by that which otherwise would have harmed us.

Going through some old pics from trips to Hawaii, and it got me thinking about the amazing times of silence of solitude I have had there.

One of my favorite songs of the year, there is no greater journey than the life that leads to the throne of the Savior.
