“…let the force of conscience now be exercised,
       and let this text be to you, for a moment,
              like the throne of Jesus…”
                     ~Charles Spurgeon, on Psalm 103:12

                       As far as the east is from the west,
                       so far has our father removed
                       the transgressions of his children.

About Greg Wright

I have worn many hats as a writer and editor over the years. Unlike my scholarly and journalistic work from the "old days" at Hollywood Jesus, Past the Popcorn, or SeaTac Blog, the writing here is of a more overtly personal and spiritual nature. I hope it provokes you as much as it provokes me.
