Pure unsafe goodness

Don't stop your crying on my account
A frightening lion, no doubt
He's not safe, no he's not safe
Are you tempted now to run away?
The King above all Kings is coming down
But He won't say the words you wish that he would
Oh, he don't do the deeds you know that He could
He won't think the thoughts you think He should
But He is good, He is good
I know you're thirsty, the water is free
But I should warn you, it costs everything
Well, He's not fair, no He's not fair
When He fixes what's beyond repair
And graces everyone that don't deserve
No one knows Him whom eyes never seen
No, I don't know Him but He knows me
He knows me, He knows me
Lay down your layers, shed off your skin
But without His incision, you can't enter in
He cuts deep, yeah He cuts deep
When the risk is great and the talk is cheap
But never leaves a wounded one behind

A Fail and Some Change



Ok, people.

I failed.

I completely let the travel blog idea go. The thing is, I don't care. Those are memories, and they will be recalled as needed, and not dwelled upon needlessly. Things change.

The thing is, I'm returning to Ghana. In 7 days, my feet will be in red dirt again. A friend of mine told me last night that he had a vision of me standing barefoot in the dust of Northern Ghana, showing a deep and unhindered connection with the people I love so much. I think this is my new perspective on travel.

I pray that this summer will be an awakening and union of many spirits to Christ, and to one another. Let's build bridges. Barefoot.

Please, brothers and sisters, pray for our family and family-to-be in Ghana. Pray for God to join our souls.

Or do you not know that he who joins himself with a prostitute is one with her in body, for it said, "The two shall become one flesh." But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit. -Paul's letter to the Corinthians.
