This blog contains comments and teaching regarding living the Christian faith and comments on the intersection of faith and many other aspects of life from pop culture to science. It also has some stories--hopefully they are amusing stories--from my life. ~Dan

An Extra Measure of Strength From God
Sometimes God gives us an extra measure of strength
for the challenging tasks of life. I saw an example of this today.
My friend Jennifer sang a touching and emotionally
potent song at the funeral service of a baby girl. To sing a lyrically moving
song in this type of setting is not easy. The possibility of becoming completely
overwhelmed, emotionally, is very real. Jennifer did an extraordinary job and
her song was a gift which ministered beautifully to everyone present, including
the grieving mother and father of the child.
It was a wonderful moment during a time of grief. I
had tears in my eyes throughout the entire song and so did many others.
Afterward I said to Jennifer, “I think God gave you
special strength for that one.”
She said, “He definitely did.”
His presence and strength in Jennifer was a blessing
for me to behold.
