Pogonology: The Study Of Beards
I’m participating in “No-Shave November”. On November 1st I will completely shave my beard off. I will take a picture everyday and upload it to my facebook for the entire month of November. If you would like to participate simply clean shave on the 1st then update your facebook with a daily picture of your “stubble growth”.
Who’s joining up?
Plush Christianity and Brain Vomit Chunks
Sometimes I feel frustrated with this thing we call the church. Not the people but the model. I wonder if we’re doing it right. I’m wondering if there’s not a simpler and better way to do it. It just all seems so complicated and “plush”. I’m not just pointing fingers I enjoy the luxury of my Christianity. I enjoy the nice facilities and coffee shops. I just...
I’ve been thinking a lot about this Freedom...
WatchA little while ago I decided it would be a cool idea to start singing through some passages of Scripture. This Romans 11 passage is my first attempt to do this. There’s not really any structure. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

God what is it that You are trying to teach me? I’m here and I’m listening. I’m just wondering if I’ll be here forever. Forgive me God for my calloused heart, I’m learning the art of waiting. I’m just praying out loud on the ground my face down in the dirt knowing You know how much this hurts. I’m waiting on You, waiting on You God. Waiting for anything...
“It is the nature of human beings, the nature of modern life, to silence those...”

A New Dawn Breaks...
I’ve been wondering for a long time if I’m on the right track. There are sometimes I wake up in the morning and I feel a sense of longing for something more than myself. I am blessed beyond measure with a wife and a home that I love and that love me. I’m not complaining about that. All I’m saying is that surely there must be something that God has not yet shown me. I feel...
Quirks
Whenever I can’t get something out of my mind. \Something I’m thinking pretty heavily about I end up walking around talking to myself about it. This can seem and look pretty hilarious. However the most fun is when I get really into it. I start preaching about it. I mean like old school fire and brimstone preaching about it. I’m not sure where this comes from. Today I...
i hate it when my time is wasted. it is currently being wasted. grrr.
