Happy New Years to you. I pray that Gods blessing and provision for what you need is made known to you this new year and that you will draw closer to Him.
Tonight after I got home I was talking with a family member about resolutions that we had made for this new year. I shared [...]

Preface: I don’t mean to offend anyone.  Specifically family members who may read this, just making it clear that it is my response to things in life. 
 
The other night I was reading through a book that I read a few years ago.  It deals with specific relationships and it got my mind thinking about something [...]

So it makes me wonder. Through the experiences that I have had at church why restoration, isn’t really restoration.  I have seen two pastors, I personally know, fail morally in the positions they held, one in particular was in the very church that I was attending.  Why is it that we as believers never reached [...]

I’ve been wresting around this past evening with what to write exactly.  I’m still not sure I’ve come to a complete conclusion, and what I write may be a mess, but here it goes.  
To be honest, I’ve had quite a bit of things on my mind as of late.  Some of those things I [...]

Yesterday morning I finished up John Piper’s book “Don’t Waste your Life”.  It was a great book, but a book I thought that the points could have been better defined and brought to a quicker attention rather than the drawn out process that Piper followed throughout the book.  Anyway, as I worked my way through [...]

My friend, Danny, shared this quote on his blog the other day.  This one hurts.  Sad thing, like many other things – I won’t do much about this.  
“If you REALLY believe in the saving power of Jesus Christ then why in the world would you show up at church every single Sunday without a [...]

Today I was catching up on some podcasts from last week that I had not gotten a chance to listen to. I listen to two on a regular basis, as I have probably mentioned before, but one of them is Cornerstone Simi church in Simi Valley, CA. I can’t quite remember how I [...]

I think this is a really one…for a few days anyway. I’ve had a bit on my mind since yesterday morning and I’m processing it yet.  In some aspects I’m not sure how to or what to do with it.  Maybe if just needs to go into my private journal for safe keeping.  But with [...]

There isn’t much to this post other than the fact that I have a lot on my heart right now.  Lot’s of personal stuff that I’ve been thinking about today.  I’ve know I’ve been neglecting the fact that I have some stuff I need to deal with, and allowing God to change me.  I’m simply [...]

Not much that needs to be said about this.

Marriage.  This one scares me.  Not sure why.  I’m afraid of failure I suppose.  I’m afraid of not being suited for a particular moment or time when someone or a family depends on me.  I’m afraid of being someone I don’t want to be, and don’t know how to change that.  Sometimes I lay awake [...]

This is usually something that I don’t touch with a ten-foot-pole.  I neither care to much about it either.  But last evening I watched Jesus Camp, the movie. It got me to start thinking about all this, and the agendas we Christians have in trying to ‘influence’ the world.  I may really not know what I am talking [...]

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 [...]
