And so it begins…

This is my first and rather uneventful entry in my new blog. I figure for such a moment I should do nothing more or less than plot my course. I like to think of myself as a pilgrim, living in a world of sorrow, pain, death and decay with my sights set on a Day yet to come when the old order of things will pass away and all things are made new, when Jesus himself will establish justice, truth, freedom and love in the entire earth, and bring all who are His into the eternal fellowship of his family. Yet even now, an undreamt of love for life can emerge as glimmers of the coming Day of God diffuse over the horizon, as the image of God’s fair beauty shines forth victorious over the blight of a broken world. So that’s what I plan to do here: share some thoughts, mostly from Scripture, but occasionally from telling experiences, that may strengthen your heart in hope and your life in the noble task of giving yourself as a gift of love to God, his people and all creation.
