Complete

If you haven’t figured it out, I tend to have a stream of consciousness approach to these posts. Rarely do I know what I am going to end up saying before I say it. For me, that is a part of this exercise. Daily (or not quite daily) emptying my brain of it’s thoughts helpsContinue reading “Complete”

Fun

It’s interesting the different activities or things we think are fun. It is sooo different from one person to the next! I had the chance to do three unrelated fun things today. They may or may not sound fun to you. I started the day playing super Mario world. On super Nintendo. Oh yeah. MyContinue reading “Fun”

Cluttered mind

Yeah I missed a day. Sue me. This is what my desk looks like. At one point there was a third laptop there too. How am I supposed to empty my mind when it has no where to go? I’ll try to not let it happen again. Please note I cleaned a bit after IContinue reading “Cluttered mind”

For Such a Time as This

Ever feel like all your life experience, all your hard work, all your preparation, all your obsessing over details, all your fanaticism has been leading up to one opportunity? One moment in the sun, one glorious display of your expertise. The moment you have been waiting for, the moment that you made a difference. IContinue reading “For Such a Time as This”

Obviously there are many pieces and parts of what makes up a person: physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual etc. But I would say for most folks there areContinue reading “Music and life”

What I do have is a history of reading and really wrestling with the words written in thisContinue reading “Thoughts on Scripture 1”

Content

There was a lot I experienced today that pointed to contentment as a theme. Church message on money, me being terrible at disc golf but still enjoying it, watching my son toddle around a park, having a great meeting of leaders with wonderful people. But me on the couch with my wife after a longContinue reading “Content”

Day one

So I only have a moment, as I am on PJ duty while Paola is at work. He happens to be sleeping at the moment, so this post will be as long as this blissful silence remains. Its Saturday, my day off before the Big Dance, AKA Sunday morning. I feel like Sunday always comesContinue reading “Day one”

Blog 2.0

Well some of you may remember several years ago I had a daily blog working through what I was experiencing and learning as I was stepping in to full time vocational ministry. That was a great exercise for me as a person, as a learner, as someone who thinks I have something to contribute toContinue reading “Blog 2.0”
