a break
Hi. I’ve never fasted during the season of lent before but this year I find it to be a good frame of reference for me to do something I’ve been needing to do for quite some time. I will be fasting internet/social media in all respects. This includes social iPhone apps (i.e.: instagram, words with friends), use of my computer and the internet in any respect. I will check my email (for...

to love...
love as a feeling seems often to elude me. I wish to know love, to know it deeply and personally. God is love. I know Him. But what does it take to go so so much deeper? I am baffled.
My heart has resigned itself to one thing. To know love and to endeavor to love another the same. Until then I suppose I shall feel this way.
This shouldn’t sound sad for it is the beginning of a journey of...

Fare Thee Well
I would first and foremost like to say a fond farewell to 2011. Fond because I’m glad it’s over. It probably amounted to being the most difficult year of my life in so many ways.
