Behind the Curtain: Present Unveiled, Part 1

In the previous couple of posts in this series, I wrote a bit about the journey I’ve been on over the past few years. I was intending on continuing in short order with a further exposé of what was going on in my life right now and I what I felt God was calling me [...]

Timing is everything

I thought it’d be a good idea to write something on the blog, considering how quiet I’ve been lately. It’s not that I don’t want to blog — I do! — but my personal life has been going through some major upheavals the past 2+ weeks, and it’s stuff I can’t really share at present. [...]

Flew

The past few days have just flown by. It’s been, uh, intense. I wish I could share more at the moment, but basically things have started changing all around me in a variety of surprising ways. But, in the midst of it all, God has been firmly in control, and I feel His peace surrounding [...]

Thanks, Dad

Thank you, Father in Heaven, for vindicating me; as I’ve laid my life down to honor you and have sought to obey your will and follow your leading, you have proven yourself time and time again to be worthy of my trust and my submission. I pray, Father, that I will continue to believe in [...]

“Plumbergate”

Now I’ve seen everything. *BANG* …thud. Feeling Plumber Fatigue, Media Turn on ‘Joe’ Remind me again why I follow political news? The mainstream media is insane. Now I hope McCain wins if for no other reason than to thumb his nose at these goons at every opportunity.

Perry goes postal…and I love it

Seriously. This definitely wins another one of my Best. Post. Ever. awards (if I had one to give). Check it out: Attention Pastors: Keep Your Penis In Your Pants! And if that offends you, GOOD! It’s about freakin’ time somebody started TALKING about the very real problems we men face every day as followers of [...]

iSuck

I have a couple of different blog series on the backburner, and I intend to get both of them going again shortly, but first I just wanted to air some thoughts I’ve had in my head lately. Basically, this is the gist of them: When it comes to life planning, I suck. And: All the [...]

Behind the Curtain: Future Unveiled

Hey, welcome back. The saga continues. In my previous post, I went back in time to 2006 and began to describe some of the events that occurred that year, things that would make a huge impact on my spiritual life. However, I failed to mention one very important event which profoundly affected every area of [...]

Behind the Curtain: Past Unveiled

I’ve been holding out on you. I’ve been keeping secrets. Isn’t that awful? In this postmodern era of cultural transparency, authenticity, the death of privacy, etc., and being a blogger to boot, I haven’t been disclosing all the things going on in my life. To a certain extent, it’s been because of two reasons, nay, [...]

Oil of Gladness: the Ministry of Jesus

We’re on a series talking about the “oil of gladness” — a phrase used only twice in the whole Bible. So what is this oil of gladness, and where does it come from? In the first chapter of the book of Hebrews, the author quotes the following passage from Psalm 45:6-7 as a Messianic prophecy [...]
