Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.

{ Psalm 73:25-26 }

phil getting his fill

i'm going camping in a week.
i can't wait to get out of the city, breathe fresh air, take some photos, start a campfire, and maybe even fish?

I don't express my thoughts very well in print but there are rare moments when a sunday preaching, a conversation, some online text or a tv episode makes me want to blurt things out on this blog.

This weekend my soul has been screaming this:

Life is an adventure

and

Life with God makes it even more exciting.

Each of life's journey is always as grand as the destination

and

the people I'm with make each moment so worthwhile.

Gosh, I'm blessed.

The Cross was not something that happened to Jesus— He came to die; the Cross was His purpose in coming.

The agony was the basis for the simplicity of our salvation.

Because of what the Son of Man went through, every human being has been provided with a way of access into the very presence of God.

{ Oswald Chambers, 4/5/10 }
