This Jesus is present with me.

I've heard this sermon of sorts before, ages ago, but I came across it tonight while reading through the archive of a friend's blog.

I needed this reminder of who Jesus is tonight.

Today has been immeasurably hard, and I need this Jesus to be present with me. I needed to be reminded that it is this Jesus that is present with me.

Waiting for spring

Today has been a hard day emotionally. Caught in the midst of some difficult things. Waiting desperately for spring.

I spent the morning with my roommate, doing errands. We went for breakfast, then got groceries and did some shopping. It was a good time.

Then home.

I'm settled on the couch, watching a movie I've felt prompted and compelled to watch all week. "The Pianist" the story of a Polish composer and pianist, who was a Jew. I've only been watching for a few short minutes, but there are images that have already implanted themselves within me.

In a little while, I'm going to church. my brother is leading worship, and his choir is singing at a large local church tonight.

And tomorrow? Tomorrow my roommate and I are headed for the mountains. For a day of much needed rest.
