A Humbling Thanks
Sometimes all you need is a figurative swift kick in the butt to get it moving. Thanks Pastor Nathan for the chat today. It helped more than you can imagine.

A Quick Question
Think of yourself in a fatal situation (I know… we’re starting off great aren’t we?). Go ahead… put yourself in a scenario where you know you are going to die. You will not be saved. Tell me… what are you thinking about?
I could think of so many things that would run through my head. God, […]

Life Love and Death… Read It
Today I have this ambiance around me of death. Right now I just feel it all enclosing itself on me.
Tonight on the way home from a friends’ I passed by a cross landmarking where some teenagers wrapped their car around a tree going down a street too fast. I passed another cross whose meaning and […]

Found a Sweet Book
The other day I was at the Urban Outfitters in Kansas City tryin to find a gift for Jamie. While I was browsing around I came across this book called The Guerrilla Art Kit by: Keri Smith. I picked it up and started flipping through it in curiosity. It turns out this book is pretty […]

It’s Long… Sorry… It’s about my Dreams.
When I tire of reading fiction, leadership books, or when I simply don’t feel like reading the Bible I have lately found myself reading entries from a book by Erwin McManus titled Soul Cravings. Yes again I endorse a book. This one has a semi different way of formatting that I have also seen used […]

A Long Day
On Sunday, pastor Matt gave probably what I would say the most convicting message (at least to me) in quite some time. To put it into a small nutshell, what hit me the hardest was when he talked about how we constantly neglect the Holy Spirit in our day to day lives. Something I am […]

Hello, I’m a MAC…
Just wanted to put the news out. Tonight I took the dive and bought the iMac that I have been dying to purchase. Next iPod, iPod Touch (for Jamie), Wii, then the Rocket Ship to Mars. The last one is a biggie.
I would love to keep chatting but I gotta finish installing a lot of […]

Planet X and Wormwood
Right now I am listening to KFI AM 640. It is a late night show with George Noory and tonight (maybe every night) he is talking about things relating to ‘outer space.’ With me, anything involving ‘outer space’ intrigues the crap outta me.
Tonight’s guest speaker is Jaysen Rand who wrote a book called The Return […]

Ex-Terrorist Meeting
Tonight I got to go see three ex-terrorists tell their testimonies of their coming to faith. Two of the speakers I have heard of before. Walid Shoebat and Kamal Saleem were excellent with their stories and use of inflection. It brings back to memory everything that is really going on right now overseas. Worse than […]

Earth, Heaven, and Fire
Last night Jamie and I got to hang out with a couple of some close friends. They took us to this place that is special to them that overlooks all of Riverside. At least as much as the smog would allow. But it was up here that we started going into really in depth discussions […]

An Idea
So I am sitting here at some time late at night on the edge of my bed typing into my piece of cr@p laptop (PC), mulling over 36.5 dozen things in my head. The thought of the moment if about a discussion I had with Jamie (wife) a few days back where her mom had […]

The Art of Man
A couple weeks ago I started to read a book titled ‘The Way of the Wild Heart’ by: John Eldredge. This book is actually a continuation of sorts from his first book ‘Wild at Heart.’ The first book I read almost a year ago and have had part two sitting in my room since around […]

Been awhile, I know
So I have not blogged in a couple weeks it seems and I am starting to think I forgot how to type. Truth be told I have been on business trips for the last couple weeks and will be gone next week as well. From Riverside, to Oxnard, to back to Riverside, to Seattle, and […]

Result
Yesterday was hard. I did my best to only drink water or coffee (I need coffee or else I cannot operate at work). Though I didn’t realize it at the time, I was just being attacked like crazy yesterday. I was hit with everything from doubt of my salvation to doubt of the existence of God […]

New Day
This is my second time trying to fast. I need to let you in on a secret, I failed last time. But this time I am really gonna try. My attitude has been in a funk since yesterday so maybe this is just what I need. I am trying to focus on God and prayer […]

Before I Go To Sleep
Last night I picked up a book that I haven’t really gotten into yet called ‘Revolution.’ I picked it up because all my other books were in my car and I wasn’t quite ready to pass out for the night. Needless to say that it punched me in the face after pulling my shirt over […]

Good Week
Last week was pretty awesome, we got to go out to dinner with friends on two separate occasions and it was just a blast. Monday and Saturday evening we spent with some pals from Church and I must say I have not had such a good time in awhile. I know that may make my […]

NEW SECTION
So today I got the blessing of being asked to play on our worship team for one Sunday. As nerve racking as it can be playing in front of people when I don’t do it regularly anymore, it was a blast.
Currently we are going through a series called “Remix” where our prayer lives are being […]

Wasting Myself and Time
Ever since my wife and I saw the movie ‘Blood Diamond’ I must say I feel an immense amount of guilt everytime I do anything that pleases myself. Everytime I go see a movie or waste a couple hours accomplishing nothing I feel like I have let God down in some way.
I feel this way […]

Talents
When God gives you lemons you make lemonade right (unless you’re Jack Bauer, then you use them to kill people)? But what happens when God gives you lemons, apples, grapes, strawberries? Do you make a killer fruit punch?
I know I blogged about this before, but after the sermon taught at Church on Sunday, I got to […]

Babylon
My father and I were talking last weekend about Bible Prophecy as well as several other things. It is said by many that modern Iraq is ancient Babylon and that in Revelations Chapter 18 it is said the Babylon ‘will be thrown down never to be found again (Rev. 18:21).’
So we got to discussing some […]

Well… *REVISED*
Looks like we got a woman running for the great office that is oval. My wife and I have agreed that if she wins, we leave the country. It’s not necessarily that I don’t think a woman should rule over men, it’s mainly just who she is that bothers me. Ever since I have seen her face on […]

IQ and Jung-Myers-Briggs Results
So tonight I got bored after watching 24 so I decided to take an IQ test and a Jung-Myers-Briggs test. Apparently I am INTJ which stands for ‘Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging’ person. I have the same personality as Dan Aykroyd, C.S. Lewis, The Governator, Chevy Chase, Augustus Caesar, John F. Kennedy, and Hannibal Lecter. I […]

The Second Love of My Life
Often times I sit back and think about my wife. I sit there in thanksgiving and amazement, all the while wondering how we got to where we are now. I remember key events in our relationship that shaped who we became in result.
