Wholehearted devotion

Tucked in the setting of another king’s ebbing allegiance. And his discernible drift from God. 

I see it. 

The verse often quoted. 

Serving as a clarion call for holy commitment. Wholehearted devotion. To the worship and ways of the Lord God Almighty.

Here it sits. Right in the middle of Hanani’s prophetic message. Calling out King Asa.

All we cannot see

The new year approaches.
And we’re looking sideways at the year that was. 

2020.
Planned calendar undone.
Change unexpected.
Grief unwanted.

Up close and personal reminders
of all we do not know. 
All we cannot see.

A parent’s cry

“Children are a blessing from the Lord.” 

Truly. Absolutely. Our lives are enriched beyond measure by our three. 

But there were days, of course. In the early years of parenting. When those blessings were standing on my last nerve. 

These three. We love them so! (photo: Jonas Photo, Bandung, 2007)
