Eliminating Sure
For the better part of my entire adult life I have responded to many questions with the snarky and sarcastic response of “sure”. “Sure I will do this for you honey,” or “sure I will finish your project at work.” Sure is the outward expression of inward bitterness. Sure is the worst forms of hate. [...]
Two months, no lets make it three or was it four?
Just like that three months flew by without a mere glance at this blog or was it four? . Subscriptions have dropped to a historic low and any amount of connection I was starting to make with any of the readers on this blog has long since been forgotten. I didn’t intend for it to [...]
Changing My Filter
Before and After. Before Alexis. After Alexis. Any parents reading this blog can identify and probably give some great advice on how to adjust to life with a little one. I have spent 31 years, 7 months and 17 days living mostly for myself. My filter has been reset. Life now reprioritizes and everything filters [...]
The Drip
Last week my wife started having contractions. At a future time in the pregnancy this could be an exciting sign of things to come, however, last week was too early to have contractions. Slightly panicked we rushed off to the hospital. After an initial check-up from our doctor it was decided that we needed to [...]
Am I the Same?
Yesterday I mentioned that I had the chance to sit down with Grant Fishbook, lead pastor of Christ the King Community Church in Bellingham Washington for a few hours and talk about life and ministry among other things. It was a life enriching experience for me both personally and spiritually. One of the things that [...]
Turning It Off
Last week there were a couple of posts that caught my eye. Tony Steward from Lifechurch.tv posted about the Input Zen. The basic idea is that we all need to spend more time on the things that add value to our lives (exercise, solitude, spiritual disciplines, reading, fellowship with others) and less time on things [...]
Cancer Sucks!
I posted this on Twitter a few hours ago: I posted that after hanging up from a heart wrenching call with my co-manager Steve Terrones. Steve’s brother Will is in the middle of a cancer fight. Will is fighting hard, but to be honest, he isn’t winning. It sucks and my heart is broken for [...]
Hijacked by Lies
A few weeks ago I mentioned that Pastor Jud was in the middle of a series called Hijacked. It has been really tough to attend some of the services because they have really challenged some of the things that I struggle with: anger, worry, bitterness, etc. Honestly I think at some level we all struggle [...]
Botching it Big Time
Have you ever screwed up? Failed to meet the expectations placed upon you? Have you ever just flat out failed at something you attempted? Over the weekend my wife and I were traveling in the car and a song came on the radio station by the band Delirious. All of the sudden out of no [...]
Action Takes Effort
Here is something that I recognize from this week: action takes effort. All week I have been talking about social injustice and different organizations/causes you could get involved with. I have been convicted as I take a deeper look into my own heart about what I care about and what I am willing to sacrifice. [...]
