I just remembered I have a blog… OK, so I’m joking (sort of), but yes, I have not been focusing on writing the past few weeks. I know you already know why — it’s because I married my beautiful bride Rosemary and we are now husband and wife. I can’t get over it. I really [...]
Update: I decided to tone down my rhetoric a bit at the bottom of the post. No need to be rude — I need to channel my passion into positive speech! Things are going really, really well. Rosemary and I are in a very good place right now in our relationship. Our weekend was superb [...]
The last month and a half has been a complete whirlwind! My engagement to Rosemary has been the best season of my entire life, and it keeps on getting better. God is so amazing! We know we wouldn’t be here without His guidance and care in our lives. It goes without saying that being in [...]
Um, yeah…!?!?! I know a lot of you folks have been wondering what the dickens has been going on with me lately, and I do apologize things have been so slow here the past few weeks. Without further adieu, here are the details: First of all, I am no longer working down in San Francisco [...]
“Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful.” 1 Corinthians 13:5 Welcome back to the Love Jam series! Last time I talked about how love shouldn’t be used like a drug intended to make you feel good, and its purpose is not to boost one’s own ego and elevate [...]

“Love does not envy.” 1 Corinthians 13:4 “A tranquil [or healing] heart gives life to the flesh, but envy [or jealousy] makes the bones rot.” Proverb 14:30 I love reading through Proverbs. The contrast between good and evil, wisdom and foolishness, light and dark, obedience and rebellion, love and hate — it’s all laid out [...]
“Love does not envy.” 1 Corinthians 13:4 At long last, the Love Jam series continues! It’s been over a month since the previous installment, largely due to the fact that momentous events transpiring in my personal life combined with several weeks of ongoing illness (I literally caught the flu from hell) rendered my abilities to [...]
“Love is kind.” 1 Corinthians 13:4 We’re continuing this series on the attributes of love that the Apostle Paul describes in his first letter to the church in Corinth. In the first two posts, I talked a good deal about patience and the importance of waiting and being content with lack while trusting in God [...]
“Love is patient.” 1 Corinthians 13:4 Last week I introduced the concept of patience as the ability to be content with lack as you wait upon the Lord to bring you supply.
