Hey everyone, I am leaving LiveJournal. I decided I really liked the feel of Blogger much better and have now moved my blog there. Please visit me at my new blog and read about the happenin’s there!

Adios, LiveJournal. Howdy, Blogger!

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what the Church is all about. I firmly believe that what we have today is not what God intended and I often wonder what Jesus would say to Christians if he were here today. Unfortunately, I feel like it wouldn’t be too different from what he said to the Pharisees. Maybe I’m just deconstructing too much, but ( Read more... )

Well, here I am at the end of the Memorial Day weekend. It was a long and tiring weekend, but enjoyable. We drove to Abilene on Friday and spent the bulk of the weekend with Dina’s family. It is good to see that her sister and her husband appear to be drawing their marriage back together. I wish they were more centered on God as the center, ( Read more... )

Well, it's now just after midnight and I'm still up. I need to get to bed, but I've been doing some reading of some blogs of some of my old college friends and some new acquaintances. These things really intrigue me. Why are we as a society so entranced with blogs right now. It seems like everyone and their 3 pets have blogs now. They are ( Read more... )

So, in the immortal words of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, I was daytrippin' today. I took a jaunt up to Fort Worth to meet Brian Brown from Digital Criterion for lunch. I am considering a technical consulting gig with this company here in Austin. They are looking to hire someone in Austin to do, of all things, exactly what I am doing with my ( Read more... )

Well, I'm off tomorrow to the mountains of Northern Idaho to go bear hunting for a week. I'll be going with my brother and Dad, as well as taking Caleb with me. It'll really be a good time of fellowship between he and I. And, I really desire to share with him a lot about what it means to be a man on this trip ( Read more... )

God keeps drilling into my thick skull that I need to hear from Him. Life fills up and crowds out Him. Tonight I listened to Louie Giglio at 7:22 online and his message was all about how we need to shift our thinking and understanding to realize that this whole world and life is created for God's glory and not ours. We spend all our time ( Read more... )

Today is Good Friday. I've never understood why it is termed "Good" Friday when today is the day we celebrate Christ's sacrifice on the cross. I realize that it is good that He did that and all, but it seems like this would be Dark Friday or something and Sunday, the resurrection celebration, would be Good Sunday. I guess I just have a hard time ( Read more... )

Where does time go? We have it for a moment and it is gone. Why is it so hard to find time to spend with God? Jesus was constantly surrounded by crowds that wanted every last piece of Him at all times. He could get worn out and burned out in no time without constant filling by God. He made time to get away from the crowds ( Read more... )
