Shane and I had the privilege of touring Compassio

Shane and I had the privilege of touring Compassion Ministries in Delft, South Africa, one of Cape Town’s most dangerous places. Compassion Ministries and church serves its town with innovation and care that I’ve never witnessed anywhere in an impoverished area. The people and variety of educational and empowerment programs are inspirational! BUT GOD! 🙌🙌🥊🥊 #capetown #compassion #empower #endcyclesofpoverty

Azaleas come back every year with no help from me.

Azaleas come back every year with no help from me. Sounds like a God with power. Because he is a creator and a resurrector, spring is easy-peasy for him! #spring #azaleas #easter #resurrection

Family Easter dinner on Palm Sunday and a Waster waffle bar on Silent Saturday. I’m so grateful for my amazing family! No pictures of the 10 church services! But it’s been a busy, transformative, and powerful week! #easter #resurrection #jesus

CS Lewis on God's great love: "God, who needs noth

CS Lewis on God's great love: "God, who needs nothing, loves into existence wholly superfluous creatures in order that He may love and perfect them. He creates the universe, already foreseeing - or should we say 'seeing'? there are no tenses in God - the buzzing cloud of flies about the cross, the flayed back pressed against the uneven stake, the nails driven through the mesial nerves, the repeated incipient suffocation as the body droops, the repeated torture of back and arms as it is time after time, for breath's sake, hitched up. If I may dare the biological image, God is 'host' who deliberately creates His own parasites; causes us to be that we may exploit and 'take advantage of' Him. Herein is love. This is the diagram of Love Himself, the inventor of all loves."

Happy Good Friday! Let us be somber in its grief, rejoicing in its ultimate triumph, and grateful for the cost! Enjoy the meaning of Christ's sacrifice--Sunday's coming!
