Birthday me

Well, I’m a big whoppin’ 25 years old as of yesterday. For some people, that means they’re just getting started. For me, it’s a little different because I’ve been working for nearly fifteen years already. I was performing music professionally by the age of 11-12, ran my own freelance Web design business since 1997, and [...]

Quote of the Morn’

Christmas joy isn’t about presents. It’s all about Presence. —Grace (blogger)

Video greeting for Christmas

I’ve been meaning to do some video posts for some time now, and what better way to introduce motion picture to the blog than with a Merry Christmas greeting! I also decided I’d have a little fun with the format and make a good natured reference to some of the political ad wackiness that been [...]

Back in da house

Ah, it’s good to be back, safe and sound, in my cozy little house, with the fire on and the tree decorated (almost…still have some more ornaments to put up!). My stay down in San Francisco was awesome. I really enjoyed being able to get off work and go galavanting around the city. I walked [...]

Fun time in San Francisco

I’m staying in a hotel in San Francisco (near Union Square) this week even though I’m working. I thought it’d be be fun to feel like I’m on vacation when not on the job, and guess what? It is! Even with the cold and the rain, it’s great to be in the city during Christmas [...]

Blogging software

I’m starting to spend more time working on blog posts on my bus commute where I don’t have Internet access, so I’ve been thinking about getting some offline blogging software. This is a test post from a trial version of ecto, and I may try out a few others in the near future. Wish me [...]

Look Alike, Smell the Same

For those of you who remember that I was writing a blog series a couple of months ago, welcome back! To those who don’t have a clue what this is all about, please read the first two posts in this series: Look Normal, Smell Different, and Look Different, Smell Old. And now, without further ado, [...]

Charismatic/apostolic-prophetic exclusiveness?

There’s something that’s been irking me for a while about the cutting-edge of the charismatic movement, dubbed by some as the apostolic-prophetic movement, and I know what it is. Now don’t get me wrong…I dearly love many of these folks…Bill Johnson, Lance Wallnau, Patricia King, Jill Austin, to name but a few. I would never [...]

Let’s try this again

Later this week, I’m going to do a quick wrap up of the Look Normal, Smell Different series I’d started a while back, and then I’m going to embark on a new series which will be a compilation of some of my “front row” observations from the years I’ve spent in (and away) from church. [...]

All play and no pray makes Jack a powerless boy

I’ve come to the staggering conclusion that I don’t pray enough. I say that with a wry grin on my face because it’s not like it’s the first time I’ve realized that! The thing that keeps biting me in the rear is my propensity to getting sucked into playing around on the computer. It’s pretty [...]
