Super huh?

Superhero dad and son at the hardware store? Oh please- what dad would actually do that??

...okay, at least two others I'd say.

(P.S.I love the superhero and son shot. Absolutely classic! 

P.P.S.Secret identity of the lower three-some is Mase, Skippy (Charlie), and Pop (Bill) Vann. Photo taken November of 2012. They've had nearly three full months to hone their three-some skills. Watch.out.)

Standeth God

Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne,— Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own. -James Russell Lowell

Charlie Mason

Before He's through

"God does ten thousand things in every deed. Perhaps we know a dozen.
Maybe two. But not enough to judge before He's through." -John Piper

HT ten thousand things

God-shaped hole

Sometimes I can characterize time periods in my life by a certain song or by a certain artist. I recently rediscovered this song from a very distinct time period in my life. I was lost, empty, sad...everything was gray. Then a friend gave me this CD, and I listened and re-listened and re-listened. And for the first time in my life God began to speak to me. I wasn't saved until probably a month or more later, but I very distinctly remember feeling the reality of God being personal when I first heard this song and the others on the CD. I fell asleep listening to them and listened to them when I woke up. Could it really be that God was real? Could it really be that He would be willing to be at peace with me? Could it really be that He was actually the One seeking me?

There is a God-shaped hole in all of us. And it is a void that only He can fill. I still feel gray sometimes. Sometimes I even feel lost and empty and sad. And He's still the only One who can fill the void. And He can. And He does. I love You, King Jesus.

Beautiful fall

"For the beauty of the earth

For the glory of the skies,

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies,

Lord of all, to Thee we raise

This our hymn of grateful praise!"

Happy 2nd birthday, sweet girl!
