    Posted on February 18, 2005

    I know I quote Oswald Chambers a lot, but there’s something about his daily devotional that makes it continually relevant. However, sometimes I end up skipping a day.

    This is for posterity’s sake, in case there’s ever anyone out there online trying to figure out how to do this him or herself. Matt thinks I should figure out how to mod Mac Mini’s, but I’m going to put that off until I can scramble $500 bucks together to... [Read More]

    Posted on February 6, 2005

    There’s a passage I wish I would have read earlier this morning. According to my reading calendar I should have read it last night; but if I had, it’s questionable whether my heart would have been in a place to receive such a pertinent application. [Read More]

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on February 3, 2005

    When consoling me about a church split before I moved to Chico, my mom said, “Church would be wonderful if it weren’t for the people…” She was pointing out through irony the fact that the body of our perfect savior Jesus Christ is in fact made up of imperfect human... [Read More]

  • Pressing On…

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on January 30, 2005

    So, I’m sorry I haven’t blogged in a while. I read something in Oswald Chambers over Christmas vacation about how God uses silent seasons in our lives to speak to us, or to draw us into waiting dependence. Sorry, that doesn’t necessarily mean new blogs are going to be terribly... [Read More]
