  • "I tease my boyfriend about guy smell versus man smell. When I give him a hug and he smells like cologne I'll tell him he smells like a man. When he finishes playing paintball...well...he smells like a guy. Guy smell is to be avoided unless A) You just finished playing a strenuous sport B) You just finished lifting weights or C) You just got back from killing things."

  • FOF - Salvation

                 "John Edie, the nineteenth-century Scottish preacher, said, 'Men without Christ are death walking.  The beauties of holiness do not attract man in his moral insensibility, nor do the miseries of hell deter him.'  You can talk about heaven to him, he's not interested.  You can talk about hell to him, he's not afraid.
                 "Now this kind of man doesn't need renewal, this kind of man doesn't need repair, this kind of man doesn't need restoration, resuscitation; this kind of man needs resurrection.  He needs life, because he's dead."

    - John MacArthur

    Unless the LORD builds the house,
    They labor in vain who build it;
    Unless the LORD guards the city,
    The watchman keeps awake in vain. 
    It is vain for you to rise up early,
    To retire late,
    To eat the bread of painful labors;
    For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.  


    Psalm 127:1-2

  • Do men fall and not get up again?
    Does one turn away and not repent?
    Why then has this people, Jerusalem,
    Turned away in continual apostasy?
    They hold fast to deceit,
    They refuse to return.

    Jeremiah 8:4b-5

  • PSALM 139

    For the choir director.  A Psalm of David.

    O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
    You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
    And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
    Even before there is a word on my tongue,
    Behold, O LORD, You know it all.
    You have enclosed me behind and before,
    And laid Your hand upon me.
    Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
    It is too high, I cannot attain to it.

    Where can I go from Your Spirit?
    Or where can I flee from Your presence?
    If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
    If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
    If I take the wings of the dawn,
    If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
    Even there Your hand will lead me,
    And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
    If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,
    And the light around me will be night,"
    Even the darkness is not dark to You,
    And the night is as bright as the day.
    Darkness and light are alike to You.

    For You formed my inward parts;
    You wove me in my mother's womb.
    I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    Wonderful are Your works,
    And my soul knows it very well.
    My frame was not hidden from You,
    When I was made in secret,
    And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
    Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
    And in Your book were all written
    The days that were ordained for me,
    When as yet there was not one of them.

    How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
    If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand.
    When I awake, I am still with You.

    O that You would slay the wicked, O God;
    Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed. 
    For they speak against You wickedly,
    And Your enemies take Your name in vain.
    Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD?
    And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
    I hate them with the utmost hatred;
    They have become my enemies.

    Search me, O God, and know my heart;
    Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
    And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
    And lead me in the everlasting way.

About Me

  • Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared, but we know that when He appears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who thus hopes in Him purifies himself as He is pure. [I John 3:2-3]
