a decade
To think of all the things that have transpired in my life in the past decade (2000-2010) really makes me wonder how it could seem to have gone by so fast.
Highlights:
In 2000 I was a Junior in College at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. Since then I’ve lived in Maui, Hawaii from 2001 to 2008. In 2008 I started attending Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, California...

Finding Neverland
I just got wrecked by this movie. Within me is the swollen heart of a dreamer trapped. I have dreamt of so much in life, desired great things, and yet I can sit in front of a dreams list and stare blankly, struggling to figure out more than a handful. Perhaps I dream of being a dreamer? No, I cannot believe that, for I get glimpses everyday of the man I am to become, the lover, the friend, the...
internetless
Well folks, I’m housesitting and I have no internet and while Starbucks is free it is somewhat troublesome getting there regularly with my schedule. Therefore this blog might be on standby for the next two weeks with a check in here or there….
Christmastime is here! Happiness and cheer!

My Daddy's Word
As I was riding my bicycle home from work tonight I drove by a father and son playing along the sidewalk. The father pretended to throw a ball or shoe or something for his son to go “fetch”. More or less like when you pretend to throw the stick for a dog and chuckle inside when the dog runs and gets confused.
As I watched the dad do that, the little boy (probably 3 to 5 years old)...
what if? why not? (part 3)
The question “Why Not?” has helped me in the past couple of years a lot. I’ll keep this one kinda brief, if I can. I’ve been attending Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry the past couple years. This place is crazy, awesome, but to an outsider, could seem a bit weird at times too. God helped me enter this environment with the question “Why Not?” closely...
WatchThis is thoroughly enjoyable and moving as well…

what if? why not? (part 2)
A “what if?” question that revolutionized my life was…
What if I really am a new creation and ALL things are new and the OLD things have passed away. What if the fact that Paul mentioned that I’m dead to sin and alive to Christ dozens of times in the book of Romans means that I am in fact, DEAD to sin and ALIVE to Christ? What if that means, as the Bible says, I am free...
what if? why not?
The question “what if” and the question “why not?” have revolutionized my life in more ways than one. These questions have revolutionized my faith, my relationship with God, and my relationship with/toward others, AND my relationship with myself. They are great questions, questions that Christians truly have for some reason whether knowingly or not, been afraid of.
Ok ok...

rest
Walking by the ocean. A light breeze blowing on my face. The sun warming my body. No hurry. No rush. They call this place paradise. This is rest provided. What am I doing to facilitate rest in environments that don’t naturally provide it? To have paradise everywhere, to rest anywhere. hmmm…

There are things they never tell you things you need to know or maybe knew before the angels pressed their fingers to your lips, silencing the secrets and hiding them deep inside when light first found your eyes. The first breath we take will be a gasp and the first sound a scream the last of both…
Vacay Reflections
I often say “vacay” as a short for vacation. My question is how do you spell it? I’ll go with Vacay for now.
Anyway.
I arrived on Maui tonight around 6pm. It’s great to be home. First thoughts on being home turn to: the wonderful weather… IT’S WARM! Thank you Jesus! What a break from the cold rain in Redding. Another thought is the hospitality and warmth of...

oh blog
How I miss thee, my blog. I would attend to thee if I had internet at home, but alas, AT&T has forgotten me and left me alone. It’s been more than a week without access, and my busy life does not afford me much time at coffee shops. So here’s my post, perhaps I’ll get to do another sometime soon.
