Life is busy sometimes…and busy is good most of the time. Busy keeps me focused on what matters. I have found that the easy life doesn’t help me grow. But sometimes I can approach this line of super busy and then my head goes to shreds. I can’t concentrate…I actually get less done…and I become [...]
I have my screen saver set for Word of the Day. Sometimes it has words like katzenjammer (if you have a katzenjammer you have a hang over). But sometimes I think God uses it to teach me and remind me. One of today’s words did just that.

God,
When will I figure out that you are really all I need? When will I figure out that all these other things (being famous, skinny, a good…fill in the blank) leave me empty and the desires I have for them rape and ravage me, leaving me to feel like an unfulfilled pile of guilt? When [...]

I have been wrestling with what it means to love your neighbor. As a Christian, I believe, I get the privilege and responsibility of showing my neighbor God’s love…to feed and to clothe them…to leverage the gifts God has given me for the sake, and hope, of them walking into the Kingdom God has called [...]

I’ve road the grunge train, the punk train, the WWJD bracelet train, and the cheesy christian t-shirt that said “hell” and got me in trouble at school train. Most trends develop around certain ideas and ideology, and most [...]
The other night was filled with so much anticipation. It all started with a conversation I had with my kids during lunch where some one dropped the “P” word (that someone was me by the way). No, not the dirty “P” word, or the swear word that Christians are allowed to say “P” word, but [...]
Because, I most likely won’t be able to write everyday, because I am trying my darnedest to keep a sabbath and because I get busy. Some days, in this 30 day adventure, will be posted together.
Ho Humm 3: I think that one thing that can make everyday just ho humm is that we get into [...]
Not that most of you care, or that you should care, but I had a pretty good day! Awesome time with my daughter this morning. Awesome time God in the afternoon. Awesome time with both my kids and the in-laws this evening. Good days usually mean I can withstand a little bit more pressure from [...]
So, I had this deep theologically structured insight on “quiet times” prepared for the blog today and after typing the article twice…I decided to go a different direction. Yeah, I want to talk about friends…and no, not the hip, lower manhattan living, hilariously funny group that graced Thursday nights for some odd years, but MY [...]

I used to think it was the big things in life that really tested us. I used to think that a terminal illness or a phone call late into the night is what tested our faith. And while I don’t discount the difficulty of those things…I don’t view them as THE test of my faith. [...]
