In only a few weeks, my wife Rosemary and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary. Marriage is great. It’s so great that I’m glad I didn’t realize how great it would be before getting married or it would have been harder (aka sadder & more lonely!) to wait for “the One” to come [...]
I watched part of The Pursuit of Happyness last night at our weekly small group, and it got me thinking of the whole concept of “happyness” and what it means to have that odd mixture of joy, peace, passion, and wholeness. One of the questions our group leader asked was, can we ever truly be [...]
Have you ever had the strange experience of working really hard towards a particular goal in order to achieve a certain outcome or obtain a certain prize, only to discover that upon receiving the fruit of your labor, you weren’t quite sure how to handle it or what to do next? Have you ever been [...]
Salil over at JesusBranded.com asks Where are you going? Good question. I’m asking that one myself. I think faith is oftentimes equal parts awesome and infuriating. I wonder if it’s a case where you can’t have one without the other.
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. [...]

Frankly, this astounds me, considering what sort of rhetoric is being bandied about by the intelligentsia of our day. Apparently, the kind of [...]
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 [...]
Very interesting video interview with Mark Driscoll (hat tip: Adrian Warnock) where he talks about some of his views of Sydney, Australia based on research he’s conducted, along with other miscellaneous spiritual or personal topics. Funny thing is I rarely read or listen to anything by Mark and actually disagree with some of his theology, [...]
I’ve been doing some intense thinking lately, which is why I haven’t posted in a little while. This intense thinking has led me to some intense answers, and rather than let my brain explode trying to hold it all in, I figured I’d unpack my inclinations a bit here on Finite Calls Infinite and start [...]
