The last few weeks have been a huge struggle for me. There has been so much bouncing around in my mind. I feel God is stirring me up in all sorts of new ways, but still I remain confused and struggling. I was reminded this weekend at Church of a great verse in Revelation:

I have become very aware of a particular struggle of mine this last week. What I notice is that I compartmentalize my life SO much. If my life were represented in circles, I feel like I have one circle for friends, one for family, one for music, one for work, one for my faith, one [...]

Man O Man! Things have been crazy as heck for us lately. I feel like there are so many changes happening in our lives. Kesha and I both are being stretched and challenged in so many areas of our life: as husband and wife, as parents, and as Christians. I feel like this is a [...]

I heard a quote last week that has really stuck with me:
Temptation doesn’t make you who you are;

Kesha got a sweet new coffee maker from
And the best thing is that it snowed! I wasn’t as jazzed as [...]

Blah!

I am sitting in my car outside of the West Salem Courthouse Athleteic Club. I left my lights on and my car refuses to start…not even with a boost! Poor me
Kesha is on her way here now. We’ll probably have to buy a new battery.
PS. Have you ever heard of Dave Barnes? [...]

There are certain people in my life that I feel have given up. They have given up on others, and especially on themselves. They don’t have hope any more, so they go diving headlong off the deep end. My heart really breaks for these people; especially when I see how it affects the people in [...]
