the Lord
he found me. to be honest I hadn’t realized that I was lost. Up to that point I felt confused, lonely, scared, angry, unfulfilled, tired, and unsure, but even though I felt lost… I didn’t know that I really was. so on one hand there was me, young and aimless. and then there was Jesus.
I still remember the first time I saw him. The people that I met at church were different. I...

Lord, sustain me.
I arrived home this afternoon to find this prayer written by a young man that I have mentored for a few years. The main reason that his prayer struck a chord with me is the “crying out” element of it. It seems to some degree that we have lost the ability, or skill even to cry out to God, to grieve, TO BE HONEST! We act like we are all so Good, when we are all so bad. We pretend to know...
I am not apologetic.
Certainly it may appear that I have gone a little bit stir crazy with my last few posts. All serious for the first few months and then bam! a couple of really weird posts right out of left field. I will not argue with you. Sure, it’s true. But how dare you bring this up right now, and in front of the children no less! At last, your true colors show… I see how it’s going to be...

Of little faith
I can recall a handful of times in the last 10 years of following Jesus Christ that he has requested something of me, and in responding obedience has utterly changed me. Today as I read it in Matthew chapter 14 the account of Jesus walking on water, and subsequently calling Peter to do the same, I am reminded of the recent events in my life.
I have tried to picture over and over again Jesus...

What do you cats do all day? →
My brother showed me this site of an innovative German man investigating his cat’s daily life with a collar camera. And I love it. His name is Mr. Lee.

I am contemplating my life. My introspection is quiet, and not quite as thorough as I would like it to be. It has been six months since I left the hospital, six months since I left the horribly wonderful place where I learned the truth of what had happened to me. My life is different than it was, and different than I thought it would be. I am in more pain that I would have liked, but then again...

Confusion is normal. Most people feel it. Especially people in their 20s. And 30s. And 40s… The ambiguous relationship we have with our own lives, and especially with time makes us think that there is something wrong with us. And wouldn’t you know it. We’re right.
I want to live a pure life for the glory of the Lord. I want to bring him my life as a living sacrifice worthy of...

I am paralyzed...but not from pain
There are several lights that shine brightly in what we consider the sky of our planet. A sun, the moon, and many stars light up the dark expanse that “covers” us. All of this brings me no comfort. Last night as I slept I was awakened many, many times by very real and excruciating pain. In the sharp, “pins and needles”, nerve pain covering my body, my soul was wracked with...
I got it! (Jesus on the road)
I just received my new voice dictation software. So far it is absolutely flawless! as I use it right at this moment it hears every word I say and turns it into text. Honestly, even this software gives me hope and reminds me that the Lord has not forgotten about me.
