The Poet, John Piper

Always a favorite minister of God's word to me personally. Here John Piper uses his gift of poetry(also what he majored in University) to explain the gospel in a fresh way.  I hope it refreshes your day.
 

Is there a word to help us feel
     the weight of Adam's fall?
          All.

How heavy will this burden weigh,
     (Spare not!) on those who fell?
          Hell.

O Lord, so great this forfeiture!
     Was there sufficient reason?
          Treason.

Then whence could any traitor hope
     before your burning face?
          Grace.

But surely that will cost beyond
     our wage. How is it priced?
          Christ.

Entirely paid? By him? O God,
     and is that gift for me?
          Free.

I would receive this gift, O Lord!
     How soon would you allow?
          Now.

Latest Happenings from South Africa

It's been a long winter and we are finally seeing sights of spring. Here are some recent glimpses of the kids.

 

 

 

 

Mom & Ash in the snow

I also finally tackled and won with my grandmother-in-law's sewing machine and was able to make this tutu for Casey for a school project. She and I were very proud of my work!

Her group came 2nd in the class competition! Must've been the tutu.
