Into God's Wonderful Light

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. — 1 Peter 2:9

God has chosen us.

We are His people, a royal priesthood.

And a holy nation, God's special possession.

Today we helped Abby move into her new apartment.

It's up near UTC, right across from a park.

With two other really nice girls.

She got things organized and moved in to her new home.

We declare God's praises.

He has called us out of darkness and into His wonderful light.

A Royal Priesthood

On Friday, my wonderful coworkers took me out to lunch.

Here we are at UTC - most of our marketing team plus a friend who drove over from another building to join us.

A beautiful afternoon in sunny San Diego.

God has blessed me with fun coworkers who enjoy having a good time together.

We are a royal priesthood, a chosen people.

As Christians, we are a holy nation, God's special possession.

Called to declare His praises!
