Without your mercy, I will die.
Apart from your forgiveness, you will consume me in the fires of your holy judgment.

How can I live apart from you?
I would be lost entirely!
Yet, how can I live in your presence?
I should be devoured by your holy wrath!

I will hide in Jesus.
In Jesus, I will come into your holy presence.
Through Jesus, I will come to you.
In Jesus, you will be to me my Abba, my Father.

I need you, my good Father!

I am a husband, father, and grandfather. The southwestern Pennsylvania is currently home, though I've called several other places home before this. I maintain a YouTube channel of Bible teaching videos and a podcast of Bible teaching audio. I like to make things out of wood and other materials. I like taking photographs and use a lot of them in my blog posts. For thirty-nine years, I served as a pastor of churches in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York.
