Grace
June 27, 2007
A few months ago I wrote a poem about the sovereignty of God in salvation. Tonight as I was pondering what to write about on my blog I remembered this poem and I thought it would be very encouraging to look at more of the attributes of God and write poems about them. Now, I can assure the reader that there will be no poem that is limited to one attribute for God’s attributes are completely interwoven.

New Blog
June 6, 2007

So I decided to start blogging again. I also am planning on creating my own layout and artwork for the site to greater symbolized the new name: covered. I pray that the posts on this blog will both be honoring to God, encouraging to believers, and convicting to sinners.
James 5:7-8
7Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains.
8You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.
In Christ,
Jordan Focht
