Back to the Heart of Worship?
Let me just start this off by saying that i love worship. Its always my favorite part of services at church, that being said, some of the Christian music out these days is awful.
I spent a good majority of yesterday listening to christian music on Pandora and im pretty sure every other song was by Chris Tomlin. Im pretty sure he wrote and repeated about 10 lines about 6 times in the course of...

valentines day
I love Valentine’s Day. There, I’ve admitted it. Maybe I should rephrase that: I love the spirit of Valentine’s Day. Growing up, every year before Valentine’s Day we made mail boxes in which to receive the many valentines that we expected from our friends. Ashley Wilson (now Foster) one year made a mail box in the shape of a Cat. I was so jealous; I thought I would never be as creative as that....

This is an interesting blog that i never posted back in May, when i first got to Alaska… I remember that it didnt feel complete then… Maybe it isnt, maybe this is a thought i should pursue further… Currently, Im sitting in a coffee shop in Anchorage, Alaska. Out of the large front windows of Kaladi Brothers (a locally owned, and local favorite coffee shop) there is a...

No one every says what they really think.
Its a relentless dance around people’s feelings and social expectations.
Maybe thats what J.D. Salinger got right when he wrote catcher in the Rye. Maybe what we all relate to in that book is the fact that we all sense the”phony-ness” of everyone around us, and even more discustingly the phony-ness in ourselves.
Maybe thats what Sylvia Plath got right in The Bell Jar. She sensed...
Sometimes i think people live life as if they were looking through a pair of binoculars.
It seems to me, that through the eyes of our own consciousness (our own minds ideas, upbringing, emotional state etc…) everything is magnified. We look through our lenses and see life and the world as something much bigger than it probably should be, especially if the particular thing has to do with...

i wish i was born in the 1920’s so i could go to world war II (pacific front) and take photographs. that would be great.
or be a world war II fighter pilot.
i was born in the wrong generation.
I usually like the things you say…but this is just stupid. WW2 was a horrific event. There are plenty of pictures that can be taken now, Iraq,...

Could we with ink
the oceans fill
and were the sky of parchment made
were every stalk on earth a quill
and every man a scribe by trade
to write the love of God above
would drain the oceans dry
nor could the scroll contain the whole
though stretched from sky to sky
beauty
vanity
steadfast
holy
pure
bouncing around my head, like tennis balls.
an epiphany is coming, but its painful as the electricity surges through the wires before the light is fully turned on.
there are no words.
they’re beautiful and horrible.
they’re beautiful and horrible.
