Memphis Heat
| August 3rd, 2010Good morning, Memphis.
Good morning, Memphis.
Stanky Creek is a bundle of rugged, wheel-bending, leg-gashing, sweat-inducing mountain bike trails.
It was a blast.
Diana Hutchison, our god-daughter, spent some time in Memphis a while back. She and Sofia make for perfect friends. Diana loves to beautify. Sofia loves to be beautiful.

Not enough for a snowman. Not a clean one anyway.
When I look at the pictures below, one of two things can happen inside of me.
1) Fear. Panic. The idea that Amanda, Sophia, and Samuel could have been killed at an intersection on Germantown Pkwy while I sat at home reading for class is almost more than I can hold down.
2) Joy. Hope. Assurance. God is with us. God is for us. I know, ultimately, my little kiddos and precious wife are in his hands. He is our life. And, no matter what happens, good or bad, he is God and we can trust him.
Now, when I pass through that intersection my heart swells with thanksgiving. Gratefulness to the only one who is able and true and faithful. He, Yahweh, is our God. There is no other.
