Lord of the Harvest
Mark 4:26-29 And He said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the… Continue reading Lord of the Harvest
Marriage at Its Finest
Saturday evening I was wandering aimlessly as my day’s plans had changed and I suddenly found myself with too much time on my hands (I know, I know, poor me). I was trying not to give in to temptation so prior to the cinema starting I made a last ditch effort and texted a friend… Continue reading Marriage at Its Finest
A Long Way Home
Four years ago I couldn’t have imagined that I would become entangled in this way. Not with him that is…And every meeting pushes me further and further away from my goal which is Christ. To live for Him, to surrender to His will, to walk with Him. Instead my spiritual compass is sporadically pointing in every direction and much… Continue reading A Long Way Home

I fought the urge not to lean into him but gave into the desire to… Continue reading Fighting Temptation
A Letter to My Single Brothers
I’m not a man so I can’t fathom the temptation to engage a beautiful, godly, woman in conversation. To proceed with texting her, calling her, and showering her with terms of endearment (via social media or otherwise), all the while having no intention to commit to her. I can’t possibly fathom that temptation. I’m not… Continue reading A Letter to My Single Brothers
True Love
But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. . . . The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars… Continue reading True Love
