Tuesday, August 16th, 2005Sorry that my blog has become so depressing this month. The dog days of August have been unkind, but an eternal God sustains us! Unfortunately, cliche Christianity at times obscures the truth of that statement, but I’ve been reminded of Truth this month. I can’t imagine enduring the loss of a loved one, or, for [...]

Hopefully, this is it for a while
Tuesday, August 16th, 2005Nonna, c. 1945 Nine days, two slideshows to the MercyMe song, “I can only Imagine.” Last Saturday was for Caleb. Last night was for Nonna, scanning photos and organizing powerpoint slides into the early am. Some of the pics are here. That’s enough (I hope) imagining for a while.

A measure of our leadership
Sunday, August 14th, 2005Passion for God and compassion for people — it’s the oldest revolutionary idea known to man, timeless in its power and eternal in its impact. Pray it grips hearts anew this week, as Chain Reaction returns to New York City, starting Monday at 10 am when the teens arrive at Abounding Grace. If the measure [...]
Nonna may not make it through the night
Sunday, August 14th, 2005She’s been in a semi-conscious state since returning to the hospice on Tuesday, and essentially unconscious since Thursday. Tonight, the doctors said her breathing entered the final stage before total respitory failure. Please pray for the entire family as we endure the passing of the family’s much beloved matriarch, and pray a special prayer for [...]
The last word on a great leader
Sunday, August 14th, 2005“He was not a brilliant strategist or tactician, not a gifted orator, not an intellectual. At several crucial moments he had shown marked indecision. He had made serious mistakes in judgment. But experience had been his greatest teacher from boyhood, and in this his greatest test, he learned steadily from experience.

After punishing defeats, they took it to the enemy
Sunday, August 14th, 2005“The year 1776, celebrated as the birth year of the nation, … was for those who carried the fight for independence forward a year of all-too-few victories, of sustained suffering, disease, hunger, desertion, cowardice, disillusionment, defeat, terrible discouragement, and fear, as they would never forget, but also of phenomenal courage and bedrock devotion to country, [...]
