Confession #13: Need some help?
Chris on Jun 13th 2008
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 [...]
Confession #12: Cardboard Testimony
Chris on Jun 12th 2008
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 [...]
Confession #10: Lonely
Chris on Jun 10th 2008
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 [...]
Confession #9: Purity
Chris on Jun 9th 2008
I’m Male.I’m 27 yrs old.I’m Single.I struggle with being pure. Enough said…right?Not Quite. This is, well, a subject that I think perhaps more people struggle with more often than not. I don’t plan on getting into the nitty gritty of my life, but I think its important to share some of my thoughts on [...]
Confession #8: Selfishness, Security, and Sacrifice
Chris on Jun 8th 2008
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 [...]
Confession #7: Sharing what I believe
Chris on Jun 7th 2008
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. [...]
Confession #6: We hide, and were happy we can
Chris on Jun 6th 2008
I was actually working on this post previous to starting this series, and never really got to finish it, but I think it aptly fits cause I struggle with this one quite a bit. I also think this is more of a problem then one would care to admit. It deals with seeing [...]
Confessions Series Update
Chris on Jun 6th 2008
Hey friends, readers, lurkers, stalkers and all passing by. I just wanted to let you know my buddy Danny is doing this very thing as well. I can’t believe I’m on #6 already, which will be posted in a few hours, but he is following suite in this series as well. He got started a [...]
Confession #5: Reading
Chris on Jun 5th 2008
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 [...]
Confession #4: Prayer
Chris on Jun 4th 2008
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 [...]
Confession #3: I’m obsessed
Chris on Jun 3rd 2008
Actually.
I’m quite obsessed with all the wrong things.
I’ve halted my normal reads, that I have yet to finish, to read a book called “Crazy Love :: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God” - by Francis Chan. It’s a really simple read. Its also a hardcore deep cutting book of self evaluation. It has simply ripped [...]
peels and layers
Chris on Jun 3rd 2008
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

Confession #2: I am not Chris Baker
Chris on Jun 2nd 2008
Well, technically I am, but it seems that I get a lot of web access from the great state of Texas. It also turns out that there was a rather popular radio dj who happens to have the same name as me. From what I can tell his show or program has been removed from [...]
Confession #1: Why I left my Church
Chris on Jun 1st 2008
Today marks the one year point since I left my church of 23 years. I still attend a church, it’s just not this one in particular. Don’t get me wrong, its not a time of celebration, I’m not breaking out the champagne or the noise makers - though that’s a good idea, maybe, just kidding. [...]
What’s on my heart…
Chris on May 27th 2008
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 [...]
