  • Choose Your Scars Wisely

    Originally posted on Seriously Tripping Through Life: Have you ever heard of the word “scarified”?  Neither have I (assuming you said no).  I just came across it on the road as we were making our way up to Canada for our anniversary.  At first I just wanted to take a picture of the sign for…

  • Unleash Your Power

    Originally posted on Seriously Tripping Through Life: Once when I was a kid, I was riding in this old blue pick up truck with my mom’s former boyfriend, Chico.  From the beginning of his relationship with my mother, Chico took to me like I was his blood son.  Even after they were no longer together…

  • I Don’t Need To Look At The Sun To Feel It

    Originally posted on The Roofless Church: Can you feel the sun? I was on a break during class when I saw a classmate, Sarah Wilson, looking at her smartphone.  I jokingly said to her, how can you be looking at your phone when it’s beautiful out today.  Her response was simple and ultimately struck me…

  • Overcoming Gravity

    Originally posted on The Roofless Church: Every morning that I don’t have to go to work I go through a battle with gravity.  With no alarm and no justification for getting out of the bed, I find myself struggling to get up.  It’s always the same thing. First I wake up and notice that it’s…

    Originally posted on The Roofless Church: My Bruhdas Ever since we returned from Hawaii, I have been trying to put our experience into the perfect words for this blog.  After struggling for weeks, I finally surrendered to the fact that I can’t and embraced that I’ll just have to do the best that I can. …

  • Belief as a Contextual Framework for Spiritual Application

    A few posts ago, I put up what I called “The Roofless Church’s Statement of Faith“.  In some ways what I wrote was an accurate account of how I would express my faith if I was forced to do so for some reason or the other. And in some ways what I said was a…

  • The Gospel According to You

    Let me begin this post by saying that I absolutely love the Bible.  I have read a lot of books in my life and the Bible by far has been the most intriguing work I have ever engaged.  With the exception of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave, C.S. Lewis’ Mere…
