This Ash Wednesday, we invite you to join us in praying through Doug McKelvey’s “An Exhortation Making Space to Speak of Dying” as we begin our Lenten journey: https://t.co/jBdJv0ShHg

“Death will not have the final word, so we need not fear to speak of it.”

[Andy Sabaka @AndySabaka]

"As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust."
Ps. 103:13-14

Today we remember what our Father never forgets. His memory of our mortality yields compassion. #AshWednesday

"This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God." John 11:4

For the friend of Jesus, even an illness that leads to death does not lead to death. All is turned for the glory of God.

@ReadADictionary They're so good. I've written a lot of sermons to the soundtrack of Fugue State. Ha!

An autumn-hued moon clings to the horizon,
While Orion slumbers on his side.
Together they hold out a heavenly invitation
To rest in thanksgiving awhile.

"We might think that keeping quiet about [God's saving actions in our own histories] is modesty but its effect is the opposite. It allows others to believe we have overcome our problems and lived our lives on our own strength." @timkellernyc

Take comfort, you barren, you pebbles and stones,
You waste places with wilderness dreams:
God brings Eden to deserts, new life to dry bones;
Dead rocks become life-giving streams.

@drantbradley Reminds me of a William Booth quote: “You cannot warm the hearts of people with God's love if they have an empty stomach and cold feet.”

"Above all let me live in your presence, for with you all fear is banished, and there is only harmony and peace. Let every day combine the beauty of spring, the brightness of summer, the abundance of autumn, and the repose of winter." Thomas Aquinas via @SkyeJethani #WithGodDaily

An engaging reflection on one my favorite albums. I liked it so much that I organized a concert at our church so I could hear @AndyGullahorn sing the songs live!

“You let your guard down. Laughter opens your soul, and then he can put any number of good things in it.”

The B-side of “Abbey Road” is great on so many levels. I’ve certainly heard individual songs from it before, but having now listened to it straight through, it’s hard to think about separating them from each other.

Pete Peterson honors the life of Thomas McKenzie and offers his parting blessing: https://t.co/9AFRFG26KA

“The fellowship is broken, and we cannot now know the full measure of his contribution to the great Story. But I see evidence of it everywhere.”
