Thy Righteousness is in Heaven

One day as I was passing into the field. . . this sentence fell upon my soul. Thy righteous is in heaven. And . . . I saw with the eyes of my soul Jesus Christ at God's right hand; there, I say, was my righteousness; so that wherever I was, or whatever I was doing, God could not say of me, he [lacks] my righteousness, for that was just before him. I also saw, moreover, that it was not my good frame of heart that made my righteousness better, nor yet my bad frame that made my righteousness worse, for my righteousness was Jesus Christ himself, "The same yesterday, today, and forever" (Heb. 13:8). Now did my chains fall off my legs indeed. I was loosed from my afflictions and irons; my temptations also fled away; so that from that time those dreadful scriptures of God [about the unforgivable sin] left off to trouble me; now went I also home rejoicing for the grace and love of God."
- John Bunyan, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (pg.55-59)

Wedding Songs

Today at Dani and Andrew's wedding I was captured by the two songs that were sang so beautiful by their friends. I had never heard either one of them. They were so fitting for this beautiful couple.


The first one was "When You Say You Love Me" by Josh Groban.



The second one was "I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman.

Wedding

David, Angela and I attended the wedding of a very dear friend and one their former babysitters, Danielle Brown Peeling, today at Memorial Presbyterian Church in West Palm Beach. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful and God honoring. Unfortunately the only pictures we have from the wedding are of the three of us in the church courtyard at the reception. Hopefully, Dani will email us pictures from the wedding.

Friday's Feast

Appetizer: Name something you would categorize as weird. Men.

Soup: What color was the last piece of food you ate? Green.

Salad: On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy being alone? Lately I have enjoyed being alone, so I'd say a 9.

Main Course: Fill in the blank. I will not vote for Hilliary in November.

Name that Tune

Have ever had to love someone
That just don't feel the same
Tryin' to make somebody care for you
The way I do
Is like tryin' to catch the rain
And if love is really forever
I'm a winner at a losin' game

Friday Feast

Appetizer: Name a color you find soothing. Blue, it reminds me of the ocean.

Soup: Using 20 words or less describe your first driving experience. It's funny to think back to that particular day. Needless to say I thought I knew what I was doing but soon discovered the only gear I could actually shift to without choking down was reverse.

Salad: What material is your favorite clothing made out of? Denim, I love my jeans.

Main Course: Who is a great singer or musician who, if they were to come to your town for a concert, you would spend the night outside waiting for tickets to see? I can't think of anyone I'd spend the night outside waiting for tickets to see. Guess I'm just not that into singers or musicians.

Dessert: What is the most frequent letter of the alphabet in your whole name (first, middle, maiden, , last, etc.)? Tie between N and I. Six each.

Friday's Feast

Appetizer: Name one person you can fully trust? Other than my dad, the one I trust the most is Tom. He's a man that is trustworthy and one that I can share everything with.

Soup: What do you like about your hometown? Wasn't sure if this was referring to the place I was born or where I currently live. I'm going to go with where I currently live. It rarely gets cold and the small town atmosphere. It's a wonderful place to raise children.

Salad: Share a moment you really love. Hands down, the birth of my children and raising them.

Main Course: Share something special about your loved one. The joy they bring into my life. Knowing that no matter what I can count on them.

Dessert: What product can you not live without? My makeup!

Friday's Feast

Appetizer: Invent a new flower; give it a name and describe it. To invent something you must be creative and I don't have a creative bone in my body.

Soup: Name someone whom you think has a wonderful voice. Mac Powell of Third Day.

Salad: On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how clean do you keep your car? I like for my car to be clean, but sometimes slack on it so a 5.

Main Course: How do you feel about poetry? I enjoy it.

Dessert: What was the last/place/thing you took a picture of? Our new puppy, Bayleigh.
