Sometimes I feel stupid talking to you because it often crosses my mind that you might not exist. But I do talk to you, and maybe that means I believe in you enough for the moment. I need to ask you something. Someone at church the other day asked you to “draw our worship from …

Giving up
I say let me never be complete. I say let me never be content. I say deliver me from Swedish furniture. I say deliver me from clever art. I say deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth. I say you have to give up. I say evolve and let the chips fall where they …
Imitators Of Paul
From what I remember from the local Parish newsletters; Apostle Paul alongside Peter is represented by the “Book” along the “Sword.” Ah, he was the one who could be anything and everything to everyone and anyone who were bound by Laws and different cultures away from godly worship.

The Bride’s Near Future – Part 2 of 3
I believe there’s coming a time that Christianity will go through a second reformation. There is an underground move of the Holy Spirit that is calling people to one unified purpose, and it’s like that of a spiritual militia. Like disgruntled, seemingly over-patriotic wilderness residents, there is an uprising of individuals who are no longer …
I see Christian imagery from a distance
When I see the latest ad-cover for a film, or an album cover-design of recognition, I often give it a silent nod in response. A nod of knowledge, because out-there to the public rude as it may be, out-there I behold a mark of the product that is in promotion, and this is culture. We, …
Martha and Mary and Mike Yaconelli
Having spent 3 weeks off sick with depression, I’ve had more time than I’d like to think about a few things that have been pushing forward from the edges of my mind. One of those things is Martha and Mary. I’m definitely a Martha. I spend way more time DOING things than I spend ‘in …
