I’m not quite up to my usual energy levels after last week’s illness, but I know I promised I’d embark on a series about the “oil of gladness” mentioned in Psalm 45:7 and Isaiah 61:3, so I’ll try to muddle my way through the first post and get the ball rolling! One of the things [...]
The last few months have been some of the most intense moments of my life, spiritually speaking. Lows, highs, and everything in between. The accompanying strain on the emotions has physically taken its toll on my body as well. I am absolutely convinced my recent illness was greatly exacerbated by my mental state, as generally [...]
Angels seem to be beating atheism when it comes to popular belief in the U.S. Actually, not just angels, but hearing from God, witnessing miracles, being healed supernaturally, and other divine phenomenon. Frankly, this astounds me, considering what sort of rhetoric is being bandied about by the intelligentsia of our day. Apparently, the kind of [...]
I wish I could say I’m sick and mean it in the good, slang sense of the word, but the fact is that I got some kind of nasty stomach flu. Last night was bad…and I mean bad. But I won’t gross you out with the details. Suffice it to say, all the groovy stuff [...]
Cool….I just installed the WordPress app on my iPhone. Now I can blog from anywhere! Bwha ha ha! On another note, while bopping around in S.F. this Saturday, I got an extensive tour of an actual Liberty Ship, the S.S. Jerimiah O’Brien, part of the Merchant Marine fleet that landed at Normandy Beach on D-day [...]
Sorry I haven’t posted much recently…this week’s been super busy as I’m part of a major systems rollout at the company I work at…and to top it all off, I just got off the worst commute evah. I mean it. The worst I’ve ever had. Three and a half hours to get from Santa Rosa [...]
I’ve been reading a lot lately about apostolic church planting and growth…a movement that looks much more like the organic chaos of the New Testament era or the underground Chinese Christian explosion than the carefully planned and meticulously executed church scene of today’s America. I’ll share more of my findings with you in the days [...]
So there’s a second ad out now with Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates. Yes, I’m a petty enough Mac fanatic to refrain from embedding the YouTube video. You can watch it here. This one’s kinda amusing. The first one took me a few times to watch before I even got the point of what was [...]
I’ve been in a weird place the last few days…I watched an old home video of myself as a kid last Friday which brought back a flood of old memories and feelings that frankly I found overwhelming. I was surprised. It caused me to remember in stark detail how much energy I’d put into becoming [...]
Heard about this synchroblog over at robbymac asking about people’s first encounters with the Holy Spirit. What a great idea! Let me share mine with you…. In late 2004, I went on a physical diet as well as a spiritual diet. You can read more about the genesis of that in my testimony. I was [...]
