Every Good Gift...

The church voted me in as an associate pastor today. I was a bit overwhelmed as I've been out of the ministry for a while. All the excitement and responsibility came rushing back at once as the congregation welcomed Jessica and I with applause.

Miguel's son woke up from his coma this morning. He just opened his eyes and started talking. My mother asked him what sport he was going to excel at when he got out of the hospital--soccer football.

I've confessed a sin that's been stealing my joy (and others I suspect) for the last few days, and it's like a burden has been lifted off my chest.

I held in my arms tonight my wife of 7 months.

God's grace... isn't it amazing?
