What Do You Want To Do Before You Die? January 26, 2010

So as the reality of cancer and my mortality has dawned on me in the past few days I’ve begun to ask myself the question of what do I want to do before I die? Please do not take this the wrong way this is less of a bucket list of how to spend my final days; instead [...]

Get ur Hands up? January 26, 2010

So a few weeks ago I attended a Switchfoot concert here in Seattle. Now I know some might think this band is not worth my time or yours but in that I would say you are in the wrong. They have been a constant in my life since my younger days of my musical pallet.  [...]

No longer saved by the bell February 12, 2009

Zack Morris is a fictional character on the television show Saved by the Bell; for those of you who are awesome you will remember this classic show and the lovable Zack and what he was all about. He was a schemer, the epitome of mediocrity, got all the girls and always seemed to just make [...]

My Heroes are all dead or dying January 20, 2009

All my heroes are all dead or dying. They’ve either shot themselves in the foot and bleed out or have been revealed a fictitious and are coming to a slow and painful demise. Their corpse float along my consciousness battering themselves against the beach. Their last words are not poignant but just mere cries for something better. No [...]

Exploring the Great Abyss January 19, 2009

“Good luck exploring the great abyss” he says. And as I sit thinking about what that means to me I see that exploring the beautiful and infinite is just a thin line away from giving it all up and falling into an abyss. This leads to great discoveries and immense loss. I may wag one [...]

When we Fell January 19, 2009

When we fell who was put in charge? My vote was never counted; there was no democratic process. It’s too easy to point the finger at something or someone else. But with that let me point an angry finger at the state of humanity, at the Church, and at Christianity and its theologians. In our [...]

Learning how to die- Jon Foreman.. not me October 29, 2008

I’m gonna miss you I’m gonna miss you  When you’re gone She says, I love you I’m gonna miss you  And your songs And I said, please Don’t talk about the end Don’t talk about how  Every living thing goes away She said, friend All along I thought  I was learning how to take How [...]

A moment of your time… please October 29, 2008

I have been noticing that all everything seems to come down to is just moments. Singular moments in time that add up and make a day, a week, or a year. All that is remembered often is just those fleeting moments, not much else. The human brain just doesn’t cognitively process everything we’ve seen or [...]

Things I’ve learned about being a good Christian October 16, 2008

A good Christian never does anything distasteful like smoking or drinking. He because a good Christian is always a He because God is a He always votes for the most Godly candidate… which is obviously the Republican choice. He prays for his Country and his family first because that is what matters. He has the [...]

I blame us… a letter to the kids we all use to be October 14, 2008

I blame us for being kids. For being naive, believing that all we’ve known would stay the same. I blame us for those stolen nights and stolen kisses.  I blame us for those nights where the world seemed so big. I blame us for believing in beauty and truth. I blame us for the times it was so [...]
