Or maybe I was never really gone.
*This is the short version of this post. The long one got eaten by WordPress.*
I wasn’t planning to be back this quickly, but I am. This week, though, was important for me.
I’ve been feeling technologically and informationally overwhelmed. The stems largely from the fact that I spend most of [...]

Hiatus

Can you take a hiatus from a blog that’s as young as this one is?
Lately, my words feel spent. I start to write a post, and I can’t form it into anything before it all seems to blow away. I think I’m tired, and I have a lot going on, both internally and externally. It’s [...]

“Whenever you find tears in your eyes, especially unexpected tears, it is well to pay the closest attention. They are not only telling you something about the secret of who you are, but more often than not God is speaking to you through them of the mystery of where you have come from and is [...]

I realized the other day that I believe in following dreams. More than that, I believe that God often speaks to us through what we’ve always dreamed of doing.

Things have been quiet around here. Maybe a little too quiet.
I’m sorry I’ve been gone. Between my allergies and my stress levels, I battled headaches for about a week. They’re pretty much gone now, for which I thank God.
Lately I’ve had the meaning of church on my mind. What does it mean to belong to [...]
Awesome link, and some thoughts

A blog I love, the Contemplative Charismatic, offers all sorts of insights on the Christian life. Nick Osborne, its author, has this to say about the things that give us life.
I particularly liked this part:
Sometimes we need to die to a way of relating to God or a way of ministering to others in order [...]
Creative rebirth?

When I was in kindergarten, the two kids I shared a table with and I would make fun of how some kids colored. The boy I sat with would draw a bunch of scribbles and say, “Some kids color like this!” and we’d all laugh. One day, I did it. I drew [...]
