reveling in the tremendous goodness of all that Christ is and offers...in wonder at His faithfulness that exceeds all our wildest dreams...these are so easy to gloss over, so easy to not even realize until they are so vibrantly displayed in our life>i had the tremendous privilege this week to see them in all their beauty and to understand a little bit more of the One i seek...for His goodness overshowers and His faithfulness amidst our unbelief and doubt astounds me.

don't forget. don't be afraid to sing it to the world.

dreams have returned...unless you have ever for a time lost the ability to dream you won't understand how wonderful it is to have them back. they are a lovely thing to fill the time with.

Pats won the superbowl.

God save me from complacency...

i have seen the hurting souls of the world tonight and my heart has bled for them. i saw a homeless man sitting in the corner of a coffeeshop tonight and wondered where he had been and how life had wound up finding him here. we went and caught up with his life later. God forbid complacency. i have seen in the morning sun an entire city of a nation laid out before my hotel and knowing that few if any knew Christ.

let love take the place of complacency. let passion and vigor and eagerness and restlessness for life take over complacency.

unsettled tonight. dreams are being rediscovered of late because they have been swept off their feet in the great flow of busyness. it is when reality is all i have and so little of imagination, so little of the dreams that used to spill out of my head, when i cannot define because of its complexity, where i stand with my Creator, when everything that i want to do is being suffocated in the learning now...this is when i become unsettled. it is only in the constantsy (sp?) of Christ that i find my foothold and in music which permeates my world. i suppose most of us are in the same position. i only wish i knew how to express it all

satiate me....for You have breathed the breath of life into our souls

Time stood still when the music played under the soft glow of the corner lamp: it carried their thoughts elsewhere and left their fingers behind. 

music constantly washes me away...

it was kind of a funny way to end my invisible day cos i was walking back from the library and thinking and realized that ghosts are invisible in the daytime but come out at night...i'm not by any means implying that i'm a ghost, don't get me wrong, you're not dealing with the dead here...just the ...how shall we say it? fluttery...
