And at one point or another we all will lose in that fight. For some of us, this loss feels like the most lonely … Continue reading An open letter to those who have the world against them.
Since this is one of my lengthier posts (uh oh RED FLAG RIGHT THERE "I'm out.") I've decided to try and split this up into a few sections. (Eh...maybe I can deal with that.) Understand my ultimate audience in most of these is...me. Yet my goal is to write in such a way that you … Continue reading Who has the keys? (A post on Christian conformity)
The below I found tucked away in my Bible. I wrote it earlier this summer. It's short but it works for me. If you've read any of the last posts of mine you would gather that I've been restyling with the diversity and often divisiveness of this huge group of people called the church.

As I listened to the song it turned into the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ from the disciples perspective. I was listening to a … Continue reading “After The Storm” music video.

I have wanted and wanted to write this but I have put patience to it. Waiting for that right moment. The silliness being I don't even know where to begin with this. Maybe beginnings? Yes, let's start there. 2005. I had just turned 14 and I was attending a private Christian School. It was a … Continue reading Why I Love: Young Life
I am irritated. Irritated at myself. Irritated at Christians. Irritated at "the church." And it has been a growing frustration. Where are the Christ followers? How often can I call myself one? I don't usually start a post with such a sort of blatant negative tone but you have to understand this whole dilemma has … Continue reading Forgotten Unity
