What a great joy it was to celebrate with Lydia! She is such a joy to watch grow, both in age and in Spirit. She's quirky and fun and definitely able to play piano beautifully. Her mother has done a great job of raising her in the word and the Lord has gifted her with wisdom and truth. It is my prayer for her that she continue to be refined as gold. Thanks, God for giving me the privilege of calling her friend and sister in Christ!
songs from a sheep
Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21

Rejoicing over the life of John Stott...
He said one of my all time favorite quotes of all the highly regarded Christian theologians:
"A Christian's freedom from anxiety is not due to some guaranteed freedom from trouble, but to the folly of worry and especially to the confidence that God is our Father, that even permitted suffering is within the orbit of His care. "
Today this man went home to his maker. What a glorious thing to anticipate, And oh the ultimate blessed release of worry...
Jesus, come quickly.
