Love always
I recently went through a "dry season" in life in which I was forced to deal with a lot at once. This primarily consisted of packing and moving to a new home as well as reviewing for & taking the ACT. I am glad that those two things are over. I can now relax for a while, knowing that there are people at home and abroad who fought for me and ( Read more... ) -

Launching and Landing
[During a Saturday night service at Living Streams, I gave the following testimony in September regarding my experience at a Men's Retreat]
I have been going to Living Streams for 5 years and each year I have gone to its Men's Retreat. The only thing that has been missing from the Men's Retreat was The Blob. For those of you who do not know what ( Read more... ) -

Giving Thanks as a Nation
"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved these many in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown but we have forgotten God.
We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us and we vainly ( Read more... ) -
Transcending Boundaries
I wasn't sure what my company's holiday party was going to be like, but I knew that it was going to be fun. I didn't know that there was going to be an opportunity to minister to the homeless that Sunday, but I knew I wanted to show them love. At the party, people from all levels of the company were there to have a good time. On the street, all ( Read more... ) -
Where I've Been
For over the past year, I was in a place of happiness just off the coast of bliss. Memories in such places have welded into my memory without burning them into oblivion by fire. I have been living out and expressing all of the thoughts & feelings that I would normally write here on a regular basis. I am so grateful for the ability to speak my ( Read more... ) -
And when the sky is falling, don’t look outside the window
This Winter Session has gone by way too fast. Maybe that is just because it has been too much fun.

The same can be said about traffic because ( Read more... ) -

A lot has happened in the past two months, but that has also been the case for the past year as well. I have been far busier living life than ( Read more... )
