This is a cop-out type of confession, I suppose.  I’ve been a bit tired lately and thought I might take a break for a few days.  I’m proud of myself so far for being able to stick with it this long so far.  Today I honestly wasn’t in one of those moods to post anything. [...]

I’m trying not to be boastful or prideful, but I enjoy (not even sure that is the correct word) listening to people. What do I mean by listen?  I desire to help people, I like to listen to the things about their life, struggles, victories, challenges, weakeness, etc.  This is who I am.  I desire [...]

I’m kinda taking a break on this series for the day. I was going to write something else last night, but a tweet came across twitter and I think I’d rather share the link that was in the tweet rather than what I had planned.
I follow Jason Powell’s blog and twitter. Jason [...]

I’ll be honesty I don’t feel like writing this right now.  I feel like I am running out of steam.  I’m tired.  Its been pretty hot and humid and the heat has just been sucking the energy out of me.  But I am going to give it a shot anyway.
One thing I struggle with almost [...]

I am occasionally encouraged by my folks to start saving for the future, to have a plan for emergencies, etc. While this is great. I simply have not done anything about it. My current job hasn’t allowed itself to do so. My savings has been pretty minimal. Yet, I remain pretty [...]

This might be trivial from your view point. But this is something I struggle with. Its a two fold problem really.
First I find it awkward to work this into conversation, sharing the Gospel that is. If you know me, I’m pretty reserved and quiet. I like observing, and coming away with thoughts. [...]

I guess this one kinda goes along with the past two posts as well in the fact that I struggle with reading.  Reading the Bible.  I’ve always been taught or encouraged to read, read in a way that was more of a habit, bound by time and a specific way of handling the scripture.  I [...]

This one is going to be short probably.  But this one is a struggle for me.
A lot of times I say ” I’ll pray for you ” or ” I’ll pray about this or that ” - and usually what happens is I end up lying.   I don’t know about you, but I end [...]

Sometimes it hurts too much to peel back the layers and feel what’s under there. Yet what we’re not healing is hurting us somehow. I believe that the more I share my life and process honestly, the more I can heal, and, in turn, help others to heal. -Sark

Hey all,
Its been a while since I really have posted anything at all. Life has been kicking my butt in the area of work and trying to have somewhat of a social life as well, so thus the lack of blogging. Its not that I don’t have much to write about, in fact [...]

Today I came across a post by a blogger I follow who is the Director of Communications at Park Community Church in Chicago, Illinois.  The post is actually a repost from this blog.  The context of the original post is discussing some of the happenings in California over the issue of same sex marriages.  In the original post this [...]

…is a song that I first heard a couple of weeks ago by one of my favorite music artist Ross King at Gravity Bookstore. This song hit me hard, and has been wracking my brain thinking about it ever since. Don’t get me wrong this isn’t a bad song or anything like that. [...]

Its been about a month since I finished reading this book by Mike Erre called “Why Guys Need God”, but it has been challenging to who I am as a Man and as a believer. Here is a short interview of Mike sharing his thoughts behind the book and what its about. I [...]

It seems that I just have a hard time letting some things go.  If you’ve read my post about forgiveness (see below a few posts), this is some of what I am talking about.  I have a hard time grasping onto the reality that my thoughts, frustrations, bitterness, anger, etc can be forgiven by God, [...]

I’m beginning to wonder if we use this phrase as a cliche to often?  Don’t we seem to use it when were in times of trouble?  Times of need or perhaps interruptions from our comfort?  Do we use the phrase “To God be the Glory” as if we have some control over the situation and [...]
