Timothy Kellar writes, "In every case where Jesus meets a religious person and a sexual outcast (luke 7), a religious person and a racial outcast (john 3-4) or a religious person and a political outcast (luke 19),  the outcast is the one who connects with Jesus and the religious one does not....  Jesus's teachings consistently attracted the irreligous while offending the bible-believing,

If this is arrogant, God, forgive me, but this is what I need to say. May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.

"I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package.  I'm telling you to live in it.  Not just endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it.  To look at it.  To try to get the picture.  To live recklessly.  To take chances.  To make your own work and take pride in it.  To seize the moment.  And

Mercy versus JusticeYour walking through the woods, and come upon a river.  Suddenly you see someone trying to swim out of the river... you go and rescue them... another person comes by and you again rescue them.... more people are coming and you rescue them... this is mercy.  Justice follows the river and finds out who is throwing these people in the river.  What does social justice mean or are

ThankfulAs i head into 2009, back at school after a 8 month hiatus, i must say i am thankful.  At the beginning of 2008 i went into a situation of uncertainty and despair about school, relationships and myself.  I was complaining a lot about 2007 stuff and focused on how a lot of things fell apart that year.  I'm not saying 2008 has been all rosey either, there were trials and failures, car

To One Who's Heart Broke (Destiny)  - written oct.1there's something about how the heart view's words,that make you see the sights understood by birds,where letters put together in iambic time, or words sought out together rhyme.where hearts break, after joy comes sorrow, and tears dawn makes of hope tomorrow.where the folly of man's choices, meets fate's strings,and in her voice, we listen as

Gathering ThoughtsI don't know where my life has gotten to.  I don't know sometimes how i make it through a day.  I question my own abilities and I question my own abilities and my own choices i've made the last few years.  I don't doubt my calling, I doubt whether or not I am doing enough to follow it.  I know there are times i struggle with it, and maybe all the difficulties the last few years

Just A ThoughtI was asked this week about whether i knew if someone was going to church.  It struck me that this question is asked so often.  I responded by saying that the person now attends bedside baptist, which is true..

Forgetting...I was having this conversation with a friend the other day.  She was a little disturbed about certain things of the occult and wondered how the devil could demonstrate his power in such a way with things like ouija boards.  And how come God chooses not to.  Well it got me thinking a bit...  how does satan really demonstrate his power?  satan decides to spell out an answer one letter

The World Spins Madly On             We talk and preach about the dangers of busyness… and for the most part we strive to allow ourselves time to invest in the pursuit of things outside the work life.  Yet even in doing things within the church, we get caught up in the programs.  I'm not saying that these are not good things to pursue… they are… but what is most important in building a church?

Loneliness"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" (King Henry IV, Part II, act 3, scene 1, line 31)Being in leadership and called to full time ministry, i knew often that the idea of loneliness that pastors and others in full time ministry feel is great.  I just never expected it to be as great as it is, until it's experienced.  You'd think that despite being around people a lot, and having a

spiritually this has been the roughest year of my life.  the dark night of my soul has hung over me for months now.  i'm tired.  i'm ready to quit.  i'm at this point where i don't know a thing anymore.  and i'm asked to keep pressing on and keep moving forward.  but i'm not even walking anymore.  i'm on belly crawling.  i can hardly breathe.  i'm crying out ... but there's nothing.

FaithIt's been on my mind and it's been on my heart.  It's easy in the good times to have faith in God, it's wonderful, when everything you could dream of is going your way, we praise, we solemn devote our hearts, our lives to Him and vow never to turn away or doubt.  These last months have been teaching me a lot about faith, deconstructing my perception, my heart and my every inkling of

Weekend   well i haven't blogged in a while.. ok like 2 days but considering the streak i've been on.. that's a long time. lol.    Friday night we had gym night at St. Anthony's and played basketball, and attempted to play soccer (so tiring)....  during basketball no one on my team wanted to cover justin who is like 6 feet and plus 200lbs probably... u'd figure the tall guy covers the tall guy

i have zero clue why i'm so moody. blah.  yesterday was unproductive... i thought i'd get stuff done..but i fell asleep at like 9..woke up at 12.. and went back to sleep shortly there after. i haven't felt like eating since the mashed potato incident (refer earlier extremely negative post) ..cuz it hurt to swallow.. so maybe that's partly why i'm blah. meh..dunno.. a lot on the brain right now..

Coffee... wow. (this is my post from yesterday...that i forgot to post)   I think it's the best thing ever, yet oh so bad. Lately i haven't been able to get through a day without. at least it's only one cup a day... that's like good for guys to prevent cancer or something.   for the first time since last week.. i can kinda breathe normally. i guess it's getting better.    meltdown at home

And it's yellow too! lol. I'm a Lamborghini Murcielago!You're not subtle, but you don't want to be. Fast, loud, and dramatic, you want people to notice you, and then get out of the way. In a world full of sheep, you're a raging bull. Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

BABY BOY! Congratulations Kimmy and Conor yo!   My cousin had her baby yesterday. 8lbs 9oz.  I think his name is Ryder unless there's been some last minute changes. I'll probably have pics tonight, i'll put them up!   Got a lot on my mind.. not so happy stuff ...stay tuned for a blog.. i think i'll call it... "Brushing dirt of my shoulder, and kick the sand off my feet" either that or "Bite Me".
