How dare you look into my eyes and tell me that you don't think I can be a minister? Not once, but twice! On who's authority are you basing such a judgemental claim? Oh, wait, our God is a judgemental and wrathful one, full of ire, hoping to curse. Sorry I missed that memo. I still thought He was loving and forgiving, not wanting anyone to ( Read more... )

I don't know about you guys, but I enjoy sudden cravings for Waffle House. What I love even more about it is unexpectedly seeing a dear friend (in this case, Levi) there. Peter and I had gone there to chill for a little while, and wound up sitting with Levi for close to 4 hours. I drank so much coffee that I'm still awake now at 6 a.m., having ( Read more... )

Had a good weekend. Went on a mission trip to inner-city Atlanta. It was great, actually. I could see myself as an inner-city minister. I got to lead worship, which was fun.

It's relatively easy to fix a personal problem if you know how you managed to get into such a mess in the first place, but how do you fix things when you can't put your finger on ( Read more... )

Jake needs to make changes.
Jake needs a yard.
Jake needs a vacation.
Jake needs financial backing.
Jake needs to drop Smit.
Jake needs a cat.
Jake needs the extra-large size.
Jake needs someone to love him.
Jake needs to jack it up.
Jake needs more backstory.

That is pretty funny.

I feel like a dork.
