My name is Matt and this is my blog.

I'm designing a vocational program for adults with developmental disabilities at a non-profit in Plano and my wife teaches at a daycare in Las Colinas.

I enjoy reading, writing, and thinking.
I run. A lot. Like Forrest, only I shave.
I like bacon, coffee, and peanut butter.
I love Jesus, His Church and my wife.

    If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    At the cross I find the beauty of Your matchless grace
    At the cross I see a King who died to take my place
    It’s the moment that You made me clean and pardoned my soul
    Amazing grace that I would be allowed unto Your throne
    Not by my own will but solely by Your will alone
    I’m unworthy of this love you have shown to me
    I see my desperate need

    The beauty of the cross is that there’s One who has redeemed my soul
    Beauty of the cross is that I’m finally free and letting go
    Beauty of the cross is that Your grace has found me just as I am

    Not by my own works that I may boast or I may come
    But simply through your Son the sinless and Exalted One
    Only through the cross that I’m made clean to draw near to you
    Saved so that you would receive all glory due Your name
    Everlasting God from age to age you never change
    A true love story remains for all eternity
    That all the world would see

    My sinful soul could only be
    Redeemed by the blood of a sinless King
    So you came to the world that You had made
    Conquered sin on the cross and You rose from the grave

    That’s the beauty of the cross
