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.

    Jesus I Come

    Out of my bondage, sorrow and night,
    Jesus, I come; Jesus I come.
    Into Thy freedom, gladness and light,
    Jesus, I come to Thee.
    Out of my sickness into Thy health,
    Out of my wanting and into Thy wealth,
    Out of my sin and into Thyself,
    Jesus, I come to Thee.

    Out of my shameful failure and loss,
    Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
    Into the glorious gain of Thy cross,
    Jesus, I come to Thee.
    Out of earth’s sorrows into Thy balm,
    Out of life’s storms and into Thy calm,
    Out of distress into jubilant psalm,
    Jesus, I come to Thee.

    Out of unrest and arrogant pride,
    Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
    Into Thy blessed will to abide,
    Jesus, I come to Thee.
    Out of myself to dwell in Thy love,
    Out of despair into raptures above,
    Upward forever on wings like a dove,
    Jesus, I come to Thee.

    Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
    Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
    Into the joy and light of Thy home,
    Jesus, I come to Thee.
    Out of the depths of ruin untold,
    Into the peace of Thy sheltering fold,
    Ever Thy glorious face to behold,
    Jesus, I come to Thee.
