Rest

I returned home yesterday from a weekend visiting friends in Atlanta. I have to say that it was one of the most restful weekends I’ve ever spent up there. Normally, it’s all about tons of shopping, eating at great restaurants, going out, meeting people, etc., etc., etc. It never stops. And that’s what I was [...]

Fear and Freedom

In my last post I Am Not I basically just listed a bunch of things that I have been struggling with lately - things that I have been using to define myself. After I wrote it, I hesitated to even post it because there’s something scary about listing your biggest flaws and insecurities on the internet for [...]

Take a Deep Breath and Relax

I find myself struggling with [...]

Timing Is Everything

Pastor Ron preached this past Sunday on the 3 parables in Luke 15. (Or maybe it was the week before. They’re all kinda running together these days.) I guess I didn’t get much sleep the night before, because I was having a tough time focusing. Actually, in all honesty I was having a tough time keeping [...]

Work

This post was inspiried both by this message Pastor Ron preached at church a couple weeks ago and by this post by Ross Middleton.
