Sometimes we get hung up on things said, done, acted on, committed etc that we let it dictate our future. We let these things play a significant role in who and what we later become. Sometimes that’s good, regret and remorse can be a powerful tool if used properly. Sometimes its not, sometimes it can [...]

Will you lift me up with tender care? Will you wash me clean in the palm of Your hands? Lord, hold me close so I can thrive When you touch me, that’s when I know I’m alive Newsboys – Thrive

The more I live, I see, this life’s not about me The more I give, I see, this life’s not about me The more I love, I see, this life’s not about me The more I help, I see, this life’s not about me The more I do, I see, this life’s not about me
Introducing…you
December 26th, 2008

I was at the Northeast Men’s Retreat a few months back and in one of the sessions we discussed what was important to us as men, evident in our conversations when we first introduce ourselves to new people. What do we usually talk about in those first encounters? Our name, where we’re from, what we [...]
Feeling productive

I tend to blog here and there about lacks, deficiencies and detriments in life and work. Its always easy to write about the lows in life because more often than not, expressing them helps to cure them. Read the news, negativity, travesty, tragedy (no matter how big or how small) = headlines. Someone has just [...]

Forgiveness

This came into my email this morning and its absolutely worth sharing, its about forgiveness. “One factor that motivates me to forgive is that as a Christian I am commanded to…But beyond that, I can identify three pragmatic reasons. [you know I like practical applications!!] First, forgiveness halts the cycle of blame and pain, breaking [...]
Sanctus Real – I’m not alright
October 20th, 2008
No Comments
This very powerful song has been the theme for me at times where I am most broken, where I am at the point where I am completely and utterly on my knees before God. This is the theme song for the prodigal sons, the long-lost realizing they still need God. If weakness is a wound [...]
Coming full circle

Its funny how accepting we are of things. Lifestyles, choices, mistakes, lovers, friends, decisions…we take everything with anything. I’m finally at the point where things of the past (of all sorts of the past)…fail to bother me. Battles lost, false expectations, high hopes crushed…all the same, I’m good. I can honestly look back at the [...]

I got an email from an old friend today inviting me, on relatively short notice, to attend the Men’s Retreat at the Young Life camp in Lake Champion New York. Its coming up at the end of the month. Its been years since I’ve gone and admittedly months since I’ve attended a church service, but [...]
My God I Draw Near…
September 2nd, 2008

“Death whispers words of defeat in my head, My God I draw near, My God I draw near.” Do you ever find it funny that, the only time we ever seem to be “getting close” to God is when death whispers words of defeat, failure, loneliness and abandonment? Do you ever find it funny that [...]
nowhere near – poetics
August 15th, 2008

This was written back in 2006, among a lot of other poetics to be revealed throughout this adventure. I’ve said it once before and it bears repeating, my best work has always been in the midst of my most critical and emotional times covering all points of the spectrum. I’m nowhere near where I want [...]
