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 [...]

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 this. [...]

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 selfish. I get what [...]

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. There usually [...]

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 and confronting [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 (ht: thelongbrake dot com)

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 [...]

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.  [...]

In light of my last post, Venice is Sinking, I have been toying with a idea that I’m considering for a month long blog series in June. If you can pray that God would give wisdom and direction regarding this it would be awesome. I am going to try to see if I can get [...]

…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. It’s just [...]

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, [...]
