I’ve been spending copious amounts of time looking through the amazing illustrations produced by James White. I even updated my Twitter page to feature his Signalera 1967 design.
Check out his blog and Flickr page to see many more examples.

I’ve been feeling convicted by my negative attitude lately…
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.
Philippians 2:14-16
blameless.
pure.
I can’t remember a moment within the past two weeks that I’ve truly felt blameless.
My outlook on life seems polluted by a constant negativity. Maybe it’s watching the news too closely in the wake of China or Myanmar or whatever other catastrophe occurs. Maybe it’s the realization that how I spend my time and resources is rarely in line with what it could or should be. Maybe it’s the combination of several things.
Whatever the cause, I am constantly reminded of this enormous chasm between what I say I believe and how I live out what is truly in my heart… and I am totally humbled by God’s grace.
Phil Wickham’s song “Grace” brought tears to my eyes as I read through the lyrics today.
The sky is gray and the light is far
The sea is a rage within my heart
I turn my sight to the crashing waves
I cry in the night just to be saved
I need eyes to be my guide
I need a voice that’s louder than mine
I need hope I need You
Cause I can’t do this alone
Grace I call Your name
Oh won’t Your smile fall over me
I’m cracked and dry on hands and knees
Oh sweet grace rain down on me I need You grace
I pray for dawn a new day to live
I pray for mercy only Jesus gives
Though darkness falls and a million cry
I believe over all there’s a greater light shining for us
Come down and save me
14MayEasy as… Dell No.
That’s right, our family officially made the switch.
Last night I purchased our first household Apple computer. We decided to ease our way in with a MacBook, instead of going all out on a Pro or Air (all in due time, young grasshopper). Still, we’re pretty excited about it.
Not a lot to report since it hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m sure I’ll have more to say when it comes in the mail early next week.
13MayWalk Like a Man.
Ethan is a perpetual motion child.
He crawls everywhere. Once gets where he is going, he pulls himself up on anything and everything within arms reach. And about a week ago he even started to let go once he was standing up, so we knew the day would soon come…
On Sunday, we watched him take his first steps!
(video evidence will hopefully soon follow)
Amazing worship service this week.
This was the first time CrossPoint has ever had a full band for worship, so I was both excited and anxious leading up to the service. Excited to make history that morning, but also anxious and nervous about how the people would react. But I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback, so as far as I can tell …it’s all good!
