#LETMEINTRODUCEYOU

Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have. I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by way of reminder, since I know that the putting off of my body will be … Continue reading Pete’s Final Reminder

As I sit and reflect… Some of my great joys during the time here in Brussels have been seeing the men of the church gather to pray early on Wednesday mornings—before work; seeing believers gather to sing praise, and read, and pray, on Tuesday mornings—spilling over into the afternoon; and seeing the church come together … Continue reading Pray for Life

On Sunday, I visited the local international Baptist church. This was only my second Sunday with them during this visit in Belgium, and it is where I will be involved for the remainder of my time here. I have been grateful for the hospitality and warm welcome shown to me by the Body in this … Continue reading George

09/06/18 Recalled. Laying in my London bed. As I lay here thinking at 3:55am, I understand the disbelief that is in the world by those who see the hypocrisy of all who claim Christ, this a charge against self. I could talk about many things here, but my focus these last few minutes, while hearing … Continue reading Reflection on Eternity

09/04/18 Recall. Manhattan, bound for London. Woke up, caught a last glimpse of the skyline, then snagged two trains to get over to the airport. Not going to lie, I was a little tired. Between trains I stopped and waited in line at one of those no-seating, pop-up type breakfast stands. Coffee does the tired … Continue reading Airport Reflection

You read and pray and build community and walk uprightly in His ways, as you choose to grow in maturity rather than flounder and fall away. What you have, you … Continue reading Imagine.

When the church-attending skeptic comes, as he frequently does regarding my lifestyle, with pointed questions I don’t fully understand (occasionally ill-intended)… Q1- When will you get a “real” job? Q2- Don’t you think you should settle? Q3- How did you become what you are? Q4- What does your retirement plan look like? Q5- Why do … Continue reading A Pebble in the Shoe

Tomorrow is the devil’s day, but today is God’s. Satan does not care how spiritual your intentions are, or how holy your resolutions, if only they are determined to be done tomorrow. -J. C. Ryle I am thankful this quote gets shared, week after week, with the young men and the middle-aged men and the … Continue reading

You might find that statement askew. Don’t look at me; I’m only writing how the average passerby views the pair. You notice the dog’s adorability first, then you see the person next to him. I’ve had this discussion with friends over coffee, while sitting in a corner shop, or while walking through tourist towns or seedy … Continue reading A Dog and his Homeless Man

A bride who longs for the perfect wedding day in May. A bride who longs for the collection of onlookers and participants. A bride who longs for the white dress and champagne. A bride who longs for the flowers, perfect pictures, and dance. A bride who longs for the new last name. A bride who … Continue reading ‘some bride’
