I realize there is no combination of words or phrases that does justice in capturing His grace, love, glory and wisdom. Words alone would never do it. The more I learn about Jesus, the more reverent silent I stand in. Seeing how the King of love relentlessly pursues me is heartbreaking. It doesn’t make any sense yet His love is the truth that withstands all things. There really is no greater lover than Jesus, the Word who became flesh. My Savior who has loved me as the Father has loved Him.
I love you. Much good a tumblr post dedicated to you is; I love you.

We saw an old couple, possibly in their mid 50s, walking along side the Riverwalk: him in a suit and her in a black dress.
I won’t forget what was said shortly after. :)
Blessed.

"Belief is a beautiful armor, but makes for the heaviest sword."
Thousands of young people desperate to study—and their parents—pushed their way to the gates of the University of Johannesburg in South Africa Tuesday, where some 11,000 people were expected to vie for as few as 800 spots. One woman died in the crush.
Doesn’t it really help to see things in perspective? While we get annoyed over online registration, on the other side of the world, people risk their lives just to get educated.
Absolutely heartbreaking.

12 Hopes for 2012
Do something really nice – that no one knows about.
Spend more money on other people than I spend on my self. Love my neighbor as I love myself. And love myself as I love my neighbor.
Laugh often… especially at advertisements that try to convince me that I must buy more stuff in order to be happy.
Learn a new life skill – like carpentry, pottery, or canning vegetables. Teach someone else I life skill I know how to do.
Love a few people well, remembering that what is important is not how much we do but how much love we put into doing it.
Write a letter to someone I need to say thank you to. Write another letter to someone I need to ask to forgive me.
Track down a critic or someone I disagree with and take them to lunch. Listen to them.
Compliment someone I have a hard time complimenting… and mean it.
Choose life. Do something regularly to interrupt the patterns of injustice – do something to end violence, bullying, war, capital punishment and other mean and ugly things.
Pause before every crisis and ask “will this matter in 5 years?”
Get outside often and marvel at things like fireflies and shooting stars. And regularly get my hands into the garden… so when I type on the computer I can see dirt under my fingernails.
Believe in miracles. And live in a way that might necessitate one.
