Crazy Love: My perspective
I’ve been going through 1 John these past couple of nights. Honestly taking longer than I probably should because I get lazy, but here are my thoughts on 1 John 4:9-11.

What’s in a Number?
A variance of the question Juliet asked on her balcony unknowingly to an eavesdropping Romeo. The answer is simple: Everything. That’s what’s in a number… Anytime I apply for anything, and I do mean anything, I have to supply my SSN and my Drivers License number. They’re so important…identifying pieces of information.

For Such a Time as this
I haven’t left for Mexico yet, but as I sit here, I wonder about the impending trip. I’m a Christian, and part of my world view and belief system is to believe that I am not going on this trip by chance or mistake. I haven’t given it much thought until tonight as I hover … Continue reading
25 Days of Memories, Day 5

(**Repost. From my tumblr. account on January 24th, 2011**) Rain. It’s a beautiful thing. It’s not only part of life, but it’s a welcome part, especially when water table levels are being threatened. Even in America, with all it’s sophisticated irrigation systems and water reserves and it’s pride in excess, succumbs to the effects of … Continue reading
What my Heart doesn’t know
