The Foolishness and Weakness of God
On my knees in the prayer room at Andover Newton Theological School where I am attending seminary, I admitted to God how weak and poor in spirit I was. I am praying for the strength of mind, body, and soul so that I will be able to complete the six papers I have due in the…

A Thief and a Liar (Shine)
Is there anything in your life that you would give absolutely everything to? Can you even imagine such a thing? There used to be a time when I felt like I could absolutely give myself to whatever I set my heart to. My heart was disciplined to Love and my belief was that I had…

There’s Nothing Out There
“There’s nothing out there.” I heard those words so many times in my last year in the Air Force, that I felt like I was going to go crazy. What did that mean–“There’s nothing out there.”?

There have been plenty of times when I heard people say that God talks to them. Spending so many days in church growing up, I saw plenty of people “get happy” or “catch the Holy Ghost”. I’ve been to every service a church could have–even down to choir rehearsal. I’ve been to quiet services where…

How To Glow In the Dark
It’s creeping on 6AM on Sunday morning. I was hoping that I’d still be sleep until at least 8:30 AM or whenever Calista gets up because I haven’t had much sleep in the past few days. But nature and a flip in my stomach has me up. I need to write. This morning I need…
