Blogs I Read: Molly Piper

March 7, 2010

    One of the blogs I read at least every week or so belongs to Molly Piper. I've suggested her blog to several grieving mother-friends over the last year or so. You can read her story on her blog, since I don't feel comfortable going into the details here. But I can tell you that she [...]

Thanksgiving Thoughts in March

March 1, 2010

Blogs I Like: Pray For Ian

October 8, 2009

But He Gives More Grace

July 18, 2009

  I’ve been a little down the last couple of days. Down over silly, little things that really shouldn’t be getting to me. But they do. Or I let them. And then I kind of revel in the sadness. That’s where it turns into sin. It’s one thing to have a down thought, but when you [...]

Having been a [...]

Examine Yourselves

June 27, 2009

  While reading Spurgeon’s Morning By Morning this morning, I was reminded of the awful fear of hell that nearly tormented me when I was a child. I read yesterday’s entry, and in it Spurgeon speaks to the apostate professor: “Mind that back way to hell, professors!” He’s talking to those who’ve preached the Gospel in [...]
