The Rain
It’s been raining a lot lately in my area. Today is another day of scattered thunderstorms. I was planning on taking my kids to a car show this evening. We were going to cook up some burgers and some nachos then walk to the car show a few blocks away. It appears those plans have changed. I laugh.
I think burgers and family movie night sounds amazing. We haven’t seen the latest Avatar yet. Maybe we will give that a watch. I find myself suddenly grateful for the subscriptions I am able to provide for us thanks to the mercy of our Lord. Today I am grateful for the rain.
I think an astonishing amount of life is like this, a matter of perspective. Yes, the rain has cancelled the sunshine filled plans. But, maybe a cozy night in is exactly what we need. I think it sounds lovely.
Things often happen in life that deconstruct our plans. We find ourselves having to start over in one way or another. We can look at these things as opportunities to drown or opportunities to swim. The darkness and negativity that likes to swirl in our heads, that is all from the enemy.
I know how easy it is to get caught up in the whirlwind of life. The rain is not here to drown you. It is here to baptize you. Wash you clean, may it be of your plans or something else going on in your life. It is all a matter of perspective.
Do you want to know how to fix your perspective? Keep your eyes on Jesus. The reality is, folks, He is coming back soon. We must keep our minds in the light because the enemy dwells in darkness. We do this by maintaining perspective and our perspective is The Cross.

What We Stand For
Here at Parchment and Prayer, we believe that forgiveness is a gift that belongs to each and every person. As Christians, we acknowledge that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, making us equal in our need for grace. As you explore this site, you may notice a commitment to extreme honesty, as I believe that shame belongs to the enemy. I will not hide from my experiences—every success and every failure serves as a testament to the glory of God. Some of my greatest joy has emerged from what initially felt like my biggest failures. Together, we will grow in faith and inspiration, walking in the light.
The Mission
To bring Jesus to the people through example, information, charity, support, or any other way Jesus might be needed at that time. We believe fiercely in fully non-discriminatory, blind charity. In this way we choose to reflect the model of the Lord's grace and forgiveness.
