He had a bodybuilder&#8217;s physique, tattoos that covered the entirety of his massive arms, and a shiny, shaved head. By all appearances, he might not be the kind of person you&#8217;d think would get it. But he did. That&#8217;s what we get for thinking in terms of common stereotypes.

		<description><![CDATA[

I&#8217;ve been very upfront about my own personal struggle with prayer. Much of it is born out of, for so long, seeing God with deist eyes. Coming to see that prayer actually moves the Person of God, though, and not just nature, changes everything.  But with the change in how I see God, comes also [...]]]></description>

&#8220;I&#8217;ll pray for you&#8230;&#8221; It comes off our lips so easily doesn&#8217;t it? It takes very little thought whatsoever to utter such words. Someone is ill, loses a loved one,  or has a big job interview and we say it without even thinking. But do we always follow through?
Confession: I&#8217;ve said it and not followed [...]]]></description>

Hoard: noun &#8220;A stock or store of money or valued objects, typically one that is secret or carefully guarded.&#8221;(Oxford American Dictionary)
Maybe you&#8217;ve seen the A&#38;E show, Hoarders, or possibly caught an episode of TLC&#8217;s,  Hoarding: Buried Alive. Both chronicle the lives of obsessive/compulsive hoarders. Neither is an easy show to watch. The pathological obsessions people [...]]]></description>

Most all reading this live in “the land of the free and the home of  the brave.” Here we bask in the right to keep and bear arms, and  especially, in freedom of speech. We are free to say what we want, when  we want, with few exceptions. It’s our God-given right. [...]]]></description>

Over Spring Break our family went camping at the entrance of Carlsbad Caverns National Park. We met some friends from Dallas and camped for a few days. Our friends got there the day before us. They selected a site that was perfect.
It wasn&#8217;t primitive camping. It was a facility set up with multiple tent camping [...]]]></description>

The way in which we live our lives makes it terribly difficult to &#8220;get lost&#8221; in Jesus. It takes very little to throw us off track. One misstep or one unexpected kink in the plans and things can spiral out of control.
The American way of life, in particular, simply isn&#8217;t conducive to it. I&#8217;m frustrated. [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m convinced Christ is looking for my life to converge with his (Colossians 3:3-4), but I&#8217;m not necessarily certain about the &#8220;hows&#8221; of this process. I do know that the transformation process itself, though, isn&#8217;t totally a self-help project. He is at work, doing something to facilitate &#8220;being transformed into the same image from glory [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Many things of God are inexpressible, but none as much as salvation. Most of us are at a loss for words to describe it. The best we can do is to find something with which to equate it. Paul does this with the Corinthian church (2 Cor. 9:6-15).
We shouldn’t have to guilt people into giving, [...]]]></description>

Several years ago, a number of books were given to me by a friend now deceased. I&#8217;ve thumbed through them a bit, but not given them much attention. This morning, though, I grabbed one off the shelf and began to peruse. What I found therein was pure Greatness.
Sitting before me is a book entitled Catch [...]]]></description>
