For the last several months I’ve met with a group of guys on Friday mornings at 7am to read through and discuss books together. We pick a book, read a few chapters throughout the week, then when we meet up on Fridays we just hang out and talk about what stands out, what rubs usContinue reading “Glory – Kavod – Weighty”

A Starbucks Conversation: Good News, Or Not?
The other day, as I sat at Starbucks, a guy across from me saw a girl in line that he worked with. They began talking, as people do, and pretty soon I started hearing some scripture being referenced. Starbucks is like the Christian bar, so that didn’t really surprise me and I didn’t really tuneContinue reading “A Starbucks Conversation: Good News, Or Not?”
Goodness, Wisdom, and Love
Did you know that every color we see finds its source in the same place? Each individual color is a result of white light — the light we get from the sun, which contains the entire light spectrum — hitting an object and some specific wavelength of the light spectrum bouncing off.

I do read some things just for fun as well, so I’m not saying fiction is aContinue reading “Breaking Barriers”
Book Review – The Prodigal Prophet
In The Prodigal Prophet, Timothy Keller brings the story of Jonah forward and points out a number of insights that really are remarkable. The breakdown of the book of Jonah given in the introduction, alongside a concise parallel of the book of Jonah with the story of the prodigal son, left me wondering how in theContinue reading “Book Review – The Prodigal Prophet”
becoming better
A little while back while doing some research I found this article which states that the rational part of the brain, the part that we use to judge the long-term effects of a decision, doesn’t fully develop until around the age of twenty-five. Here’s another article with some good word-pictures stating the same thing. ThisContinue reading “becoming better”
Into The Deep
For all this genuine desire to see God move, I seem to be quite adept at settling into the least challenging routine I can find.
The Radio
My soul cries out, so I turn up the radio…
