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 am a husband, father, and grandfather. A small, town about fifteen miles west of Pittsburgh is home currently, though several other places have served that purpose before this. I maintain a YouTube channel of Bible teaching videos and a podcast of Bible teaching audio. I like to make things in my woodshop. I like taking photographs and use a lot of them in my blog posts. I go fishing in the local streams and lakes when I can. For thirty-nine years, I served as a pastor of churches in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York.
