About

updated in March 2011

I am a sinner saved by grace alone. I have no merit. The Lord has showered me with His goodness solely because of His love.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies from Thomas Edison State College in 2010.

I was interviewed once.

I currently further literacy work around the world at Literacy and Evangelism International, ship excellent books to people everywhere at Grace and Truth Books, play violin in the Signature Symphony, and capture images at Amoreluce Creative.

I write at my personal blog and my photography blog. I have also written at my family’s blog.

I am blessed with a brother who writes and a brother who photographs.

Below are some quotes that express what I would say if I had such literary talent.

“I have learned to bless the wave that crushes me against the Rock of Ages.” -Charles Spurgeon

I am no longer my own, but Thine.
Put me to what Thou wilt;
rank me with whom Thou wilt;
Put me to doing; put me to suffering;
Let me be employed by Thee or laid aside for Thee;
Exalted for Thee or brought low for Thee;
Let me be full; let me be empty;
Let me have all things; let me have nothing;
I freely and heartily yield all things
to Thy pleasure and disposal.
-Old Methodist Covenant of Consecration-

“When thou trustest in Christ within thee, instead of Christ without thee, thou settest Christ against Christ. The bride does well to esteem her husband’s picture, but it were ridiculous if she should love it better than himself, much more if she should go to it rather than to him to supply her wants. Yet thou actest thus when thou art more fond of Christ’s image in thy soul than of him who painted it there.” -William Gurnall

“Lord, lead me anywhere, just go with me;
lay any burden on me, just sustain me;
sever any tie in my heart,
except the tie that binds my heart to Yours.”
-David Livingston

“O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, `Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.’ Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.” –A. W. Tozer
