Thirsty | Day 2 - God I Want To Know You
Read Philippians 3:7-10
What will pursuing intimacy with God cost you? It seems as though it will cost everything. What I’m not sure of is how to define everything. I certain haven’t been taught everything. I’ve had everything I’ve ever needed. I’ve had everything I’ve ever wanted. I’ve been richly blessed. So what does everything look like for me? Do I...

Essentials For Life by Marcia Ford - A Book Review
Well it’s taken close to a month for this book to make it’s way to my door step from BookSneeze and a day for me to read it. Here goes nothing.
Essentials For Life is a really quick read if you’re going straight through. Really it’s written to be digested a section at a time. Coupled with daily scripture reading this book would be a great devotional to walk through for...

WatchFOR TODAY: Saul Of Tarsaus (The Messenger)
May the world know that I am yours. I will never be silenced. I will resist my sin to the point of blood, and I will wear my scars like badges of honor. But let my hope cry out that my God is greater than the pain of persecution. My God is greater than this world. There will never be another chance to live today for God. There will never be another...

Thirsty | Day 1 - My Soul Thirsts For You
Read Psalm 63
List 3 or 4 things that you are earnestly seeking today: I’m seeking to have my desires and passions truly revolve around Christ. I’ve been reading this book recently by Francis Chan called Crazy Love, it’s my third time through the book but the question keeps coming up: Would I really give EVERYTHING to follow Jesus? Everything? I want to be willing to give...

Becoming The Answer To Our Prayers by Shane...
Becoming The Answer To Our Prayers: Prayer For Ordinary Radicals by Shane Claiborne and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove is a book about prayer… duh. It’s about more than that. It’s about prayer that drives us to action. It’s a book about literally doing something about the things we pray for rather than just praying for them. The writers use a quote from John Perkins from CCDA:...

on a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you care...
On the average day I spend a lot of time in the office. I’m a youth pastor / worship leader / graphic designer. In general I stay pretty excited about what I do. I love creating and the graphic design and music end of things keeps me creative which is nice. Otherwise I spend a lot of time praying for upcoming series or thinking ahead towards cool ideas for stage designs and things like that....

What's A Rhodora?
The Rhodora: By Ralph Waldo Emerson
On being asked, whence is the flower.
In May, when sea-winds pierced our solitudes, I found the fresh Rhodora in the woods, Spreading its leafless blooms in a damp nook, To please the desert and the sluggish brook. The purple petals fallen in the pool Made the black water with their beauty gay; Here might the red-bird come his plumes to cool, And...

Ascend The Hill: Ascend The Hill - Album Review
I always get a little nervous when someone hands me a new worship album. Being a worship leader I’ve grown weary of “the same old worship” style and music being produced in mass quantity. I love the messages in the songs… I just want to feel like I’m not hearing the same thing I’ve heard on the last 500 new worship albums. I long for creativity in worship. And...

“Here We Come To Worship Ourselves… In 3, 2, 1.”
God come down, bring rest to our weary souls Bring restoration for the lost, repair our broken hopes We need You now more than ever before We need to be washed clean from our selfish accord We’ve turned your home into a concert hall Our worship is just a show We hang Your pictures on the wall But that’s as far as...

Save Me From Myself by Brian "Head" Welch - A Book...
I just finished reading Save Me From Myself by, former KoRn guitarist, Brian “Head” Welch. Early on I listened to a good bit of KoRn in my middle school and high school years. I hid copies of Follow the Leader and Issues from my parents. With lyrics that were by far not acceptable in my home, I couldn’t reconcile between them and this heavy music I couldn’t get out of my...

A Warning To My Facebook Friends...
I get annoyed by applications that fill up my profile wall with garbage asking me if I want to save a baby seal or plant crops or if Edward or Jacob will get Bella.
I will turn your baby seal into a fur coat and burn your fields to the ground and surprise! Edward the sparkle vamp wins the girl. There you go end of story. Posts of this fashion will force me to block you.
I love you all....
