There are the three things you need to know about me. I am a child of God, and I love being about his business; I have a gigantic heart for discipleship, worship, leadership, and creative things; I could eat BBQ morning, day, and night. For more information, see the ABOUT page
a couple of weeks ago, after my talk-to-the-hand moment part of the day, I was praying and the phrase “temper my heart” came to mind and out of my mouth. This wasn’t a normal phrase that I use. I’m not even sure how it got into my database. (Maybe from a recipe where you temper eggs. Is that a thing?) It’s distinctiveness caught my attention, and I’ve prayed it a few more times over the Acorn Project.

We say and hear a kazillion words throughout the week, but only remember a handful of those phrases. What have you heard this week?
It takes faith to believe that the very things we want, need, desire are hidden in the depths of everything Jesus is. Curiosity about Jesus will find us close to him, pressing around him like the crowds, but it is faith that will take us one step closer. Faith makes us press in and touch him.
