[this new life]
The Greek word for “life” is zoe. This is the root of the English words “zoo” and “zoology.” Zoe is used of the state of existing and being animate which is common to all mankind, whether saved or unsaved. For example, Paul says to the idol worshipping Greeks at Athens, “The God who made the world and all things in it…He Himself gives...

Come Thou Fount..
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Sorrowing I shall be in spirit, Till released from flesh and sin, Yet from what I do inherit, Here Thy praises I’ll begin; ...

Grace Greater Than Our Sin
Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt! Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured, There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled.
Refrain
Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin.
Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold, Threaten the soul with infinite loss; ...

one of the many quotes posted in the Hokayem...
People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. ...

Grace Kelly
Grace Kelly (1929-1982) was the epitome of sophistication and beauty. If you haven’t watched her on the screen you need to. She’s poised, classy, and possesses that feminine mystery modern actresses lack. Dial M for Murder, To Catch a Thief, and Rear Window are, in my opinion, some of her best films- all alfred hitchcock, all wonderful.
LOVE big band and swing.

Hello World!
After countless projects, exams, and havoc…IM BACK! new thoughts to come.
Drug of choice?
Thank you God for beautiful mornings. Great is Thy Faithfulness is one of my new favorite hymns…currently realizing God’s personal faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father; There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be. Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!...

As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men.
With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love.
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me!
I adjure you, O...

WatchToday I was exposed to the wonderful organization of Mocha Club, a non-profit that funds relief and development projects in Africa. At first I was a little skeptical but was assured of Mocha Club’s legitimacy by the radiant Mary Catherine Kinney. She interned for them last summer in Nashville, TN. After researching the company’s mission and spending some time in prayer, I decided that this is...
