The assault towards home lies staggering.
When vows are broken .... foundations shatter.
Stand guard by weeping for the sins of our hearts.

Other Half
It is not about functionality.
It is not about compatibility.
It is all about the grace of tranquility.
Proverbs 31 Wife
Life to Life
Christianity beams depth of friendship.
No pretense.
Just the intense freedom to know the incredible life of others.
Providence
The craft of providence requires active participation.
God grants the canvas.
We are called to accessorize with joy.
Kara Bianca means Pure Joy
Mold
The impression we make matters.
It is either we shine without weight ...
Or we beam the reflection of holy.
Kiss
When purity beckons joy
If love spills from Christ
Then holy shines softly

Oil and Dew
God's true delight is found in the blessing of deep friendship.
The other is regarded with sacred expectations.
Divine favor rests upon such relations.
My two precious daughters / delightfully bonded in Christ.
Beautiful Work
She graduated Summa Cum Laude.
Her work approximates excellence.
She took after her Father in Heaven, Creator Nonpareil.

Runaway
This world woos me to sway.
I say ...
In my Father's house, I'll stay.
John 14:2 / Home Address
Basic Road
The path that leads to life is a Person.
He provides the bike.
I hop in and enter in.

Common Good
I voted yesterday.
The results are in.
It was a challenging exercise of a given right to reflect Scriptural ethics.
Thus I followed my mentor's good counsel:
So ... how would Jesus vote? His ballot would be cast for that which honors God and allows his creatures to flourish in life and to manage the creation well. His party would pursue the virtue that makes for a stable society and respects that we are all made in God's image. His approach would be to woo the one on the other side to consider a better, more virtuous path. Jesus' vote would not be to create people who function as independents but to have us sincerely seek the path that honors God and his creation. The mutual pursuit of that kind of common good would be good for us all. (Darell L. Bock / How Would Jesus Vote "Do Your Political Positions Really Align with the Bible?)
My precious nieces in observance of a good duty.
Theodore
The definition of hero speaks of aspects of redemption in tangible terms.
A little creature qualifies albeit its nature.
It is God alone who provides the winning lift.
My youngest daughter with our unassuming friend.
Error
I am mostly terrorized by my own errors.
By default I strain hard towards a goal unmindful of some silly implements.
The Word of God reveals this ineptness.
A La Carte
The abundant life Christ offers is distinctly nuanced.
Never generic.
It is always succulent and fresh.
Hardcourt
I begin my daily trek with a sojourn in the hardcourt.
I shoot hoops constantly aiming for a swish.
There is something deep in my soul that craves for a life that never misses the mark.
Author
Prior to birth, our days have been carefully ordained.
God claims authorial purview over our lives.
It is one thing to merely recognize it and another thing to pursue such with hope.
Nathan, my hope-filled nephew.
Hidden
The complexity of humanity's fall is well represented by our propensity to hide.
Adam and Eve hid.
And the seeking never ends ... until we yield to the only cover that protects us.
Easy Win
There is hard labor.
There is easy work.
Athletes refer to the swing zone as a stage of effort where ease takes over cruising towards victory.
The biblical writers referred to such as grace.
It is the grand exchange of one's weakness with Christ's enduring strength.

Birthday Girl
It is Nika's birthday today.
It was just like yesterday when I stood speechless cradling her in my arms a few seconds right after birth.
It will remain a sacred mystery on how this young lady leverages the cloth of Christ in all she does.
I praise God for the beautiful gift that you are to us.
Clothed in Wonder Land
Precious
We were created by Elohim (אֱלֹהִים).
As such, the majestic grandeur of His craftsmanship layers our existence with delicate care.
We are precious in God's eyes.
