a highly recommended gift

...be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ... -Eph 5:18-20

ryan and i have been waiting anxiously patiently for this to arrive in the mail. we finally received it and listened to this cd together tonight, and it was a great tool to spur us on to worship and adore Christ. if you're in need of a christmas gift, this is a great one.

A little valley.

At present it is a day of small things with me,
I have light enough to see my darkness,
sensibility enough to feel the hardness of my heart,
spirituality enough to mourn my want of a heavenly mind;
but I might have had more,
I ought to have had more...
thou has always placed before me an infinite fullness
and I have not taken it...

O recall me to thyself, and enable me to feel my first love!

-"Mortification," The Valley of Vision

Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
Thanks be to God through Christ Jesus our Lord! -Romans 7:24-25
