"Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?"
declares the LORD.
"This is the one I esteem:
he who is humble and contrite in spirit,
and trembles at my word."

Isaiah 66:2

When all is stripped away, that's what it is all about.

*251/365*

So aware of my black black heart.
Yet hopeful that the God who raised Christ from the dead is at work within me.

*250/365*

Fresh air, sunshine and views. bacon butties and family. simple pleasures. always the best.

*248/365*

Meeting pod's brother and his wife and kids. talking of the incredible grace and mercy of God toward the Bhogal family over the years. It's cool when the intervention of God is just so blindingly obvious.

I have honestly never been in a service like todays church. Such honesty, such dealing with sin. Such family. Crying together. Praising Jesus. Crying. Praying, being ruthless. man. (or rather, God.)

*236/365*

Pretending to be someone complately different in a totally different world and situation for a few hours; being a pirate at the best party i think i have ever been to. murder mystery, or more like being in a movie. wonderous acting, exciting, adrenaline. and totally not reality.

*235/265*
