one of the keys to marriage
Today I was in the home of a couple who have been married for 61 years! Again, sixty-one years! That is a long time. Marriages that last that long are very few and rare. In their home, I noticed that this frame was hanging on the wall (sorry for the glare). And it was only…

my favorite CD ever (i think)
I am not sure if I have a favorite album. I don’t listen to music all that much really to even have a favorite. I just find something I like and then keep listening to it over and over again. In college, I was introduced to Shane & Shane. To this day, they are still…

the only true account is the man himself
I am just beginning to read some Martin Lloyd-Jones. And already I am being so impacted by his great preaching. Check out this quote from a sermon of his from May 15, 1927: “Do you wish to find an account of what the gospel has done? Well, you must not turn to books for it.…
