Clay Pilgrim

I tend to resonate with the idea of being clay in the Potter's Hand (Jer.18:6) as well as living life set on pilgrimage (Ps.84:5 niv). Hence the title for my blog, Clay Pilgrim. I strive to live my life simply, authentically, intentionally, and missionally. My desire is to live life proclaiming the One who gave LIFE. I write about things that come to my mind at any given time. My posts may be thought provoking, spiritually edifying, or just plain musings about sports. Either way: Engage!

the 15th, Brisk, Leaves, Mr. October, and Brews

Here are some of the reasons why October is my favorite month of the year!

* My beautiful brides' birthday (October 15)
* Weather turns brisk and cold.
* Leaves begin to change and fall.
* Playoff baseball
AND
* Oktoberfest Brews

Affections

"To adore, is to recognize the whole of the object and the nothingness of the adorer". -Pere Sertillanges

"A humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning"
-Thomas A' Kempis in The Imitation of Christ

"From a vigorous, affectionate, and fervent love of God will arise other religious affections; an intense hatred and abhorrence of sin, fear of sin, and a dread of God's displeasure, gratitude to God for His goodness, complacence and joy in God when He is graciously present, a joyful hope when a future enjoyment of God is expected, and a fervent zeal for the Glory of God."
-Jonathan Edwards in Religious Affections
