Christian life When Creativity Dies, So Does Purpose Aw, screw it. You know, I had something for this. I had a post written in my head, but somehow it just doesn’t seem to matter much at the moment. Maybe I should just stop here and send this draft to the trash.
busy The Curious Case of Busyness I wish I had a conclusion to this post, but I’m really just jotting down some thoughts on the idea of busyness as a means of putting those thoughts
Christian life Why Jesus Is a Terrible Leader for Millennials It’s been a really long time since I last posted, I’m sorry. In all honesty, life’s gotten busy and I haven’t managed my priorities well. But enough about me and onto Jesus. There’s been a lot of talk in
Christian life Resolutions for the New Year Now that it’s the first Monday of the year, last year seems pretty firmly in the past. Not that I’d want to travel back, but for some reason there’s a finality that this morning brought. With that being said, I hope
Christian life Doubt for the Hopeful I think we all agree that doubt is an inevitable occurrence in life. We all have had those moments when our faith seemed to fail us, when God’s grace seemed a distant memory. Despite the fact that we all go through this, why
Christian life Essentials of Faith: Willing to Struggle I have to admit, the past couple weeks have been rough. I’m moving into the new house in about a week, but the anticipation of moving in, knowing it’s there but just beyond my fingertips, is worse than not having at all.
Christian life Love Those Around Us. Use Our Gifts. I hope y’all had a good weekend. I wouldn’t consider myself rested, but somewhat refreshed after Sunday. Between a great message at my mom’s church and watching “Hitchcock”, I was reminded what this life is to look like. I was reminded
Christian life Essentials of Faith: An Open Mind Last week, I mentioned starting a series on the Essentials of Faith. This time last week, I said that the foundation to faith was grace in the post Grace Is Not Just Unmerited Favor. Today, I start out with the first thing I consider
Christian life I Am the Thing Holding Me Back Have you ever asked yourself the question “what’s holding me back?” And what was the answer to that question? Because this past weekend I found myself asking this very question. I mean, I wouldn’t so much consider myself stuck spiritually, but wary
bold Faith Is: What I’m Learning Faith is a topic slippery as an eel. Given that I’m referring to faith in an infinite being, it would be unfitting for this faith to be any more concrete. Friends, I’m learning that this week. While I’ve found many things
Anxious I Am Anxious, I Have to Admit So, I’ve been house searching for several weeks now. I say several because it’s been over a month and it feels like an eternity. At this point, it’s beginning to feel like I may not find a place. Yes, I’m
character We Will Struggle. Plain and Simple I can’t think of a time I’ve heard anyone complain about their life being too easy. I’ve never heard a person gripe about a lack of strife or obstacles in their life. I myself have complained, however about life being too
Christian life People. Life Is About the People In the past three years, I’ve moved six times. I’ve been in four distinct locales. And I’m getting set to move again in the near future. You’d better believe I know that life can get lonely. However, I’ve also
Christian life Why We Need Negative People In Our Lives We need negative people in our lives. Let that sink in. To be honest, I hate when someone tells me ‘no’ or that my idea is a bad one. Those of you saying “no idea is a bad one,” have obviously never met me.
brokenness Running for Comfort in Hypocrisy I don’t like being wrong. In fact, I hate it. Those of you who know me are undoubtedly chuckling at how true this statement is. The only thing that’s worse is when other people point out that I’m wrong or I
Christian life A God Who Can’t Save You A god who can’t save you. My dad and I were talking the other day about why people don’t question their salvation. I’d come to the conclusion that it’s just too scary a prospect. My dad, however, took it a
Christian life Family: The Man-Made Island Family: just about everyone has one and everyone that does has to deal with some subset of idiosyncrasies. Being in Yellowstone last week with my mom’s side of it, at least 100 miles from anything, I’m sure all of ours were on
Christian life Case of the Mondays As far as I’m concerned, it’s been forever since my last post. Yes, it’s been a weekend and, yes, it is now Monday. It was certainly a long weekend, though I didn’t really do much and it’s been an
