Well…Beck and I (and Harley) have been married for 27 days today; and after 27 days, Married Life is…funny. There are tons of words that have come to mind over the last several weeks…and I have no dobut there will be infinitely more words that could send that sentence in the coming years. But right […]
Becky and I went on our first date as a married couple last night…we had a great time!! She got her nails done, I perused the mall and had a hot tea, and we went to see Transformers. What an awesome movie! It has been a long time since I walked out of a movie […]
So to say that there has been allot going on the last month would be an understatement. The wedding has come and gone; our immense thanks to all who came and were apart of that special day with us. We traveled to Scotland for our honeymoon and it was everything we hoped for and more…And […]
I saw this article this morning and had to pass it on! I love Christopher Guest’s movies…my first was Waiting for Guffman, which I actually had to watch twice before I laughed. (Special thanks to Brandon Cook for making me watch it a second time) Since then, the scripts and actors have only gotten better. […]
The purpose of a creed is to act as a yardstick of correct belief. A creed is an epitome, not a full definition, of what is required for orthodoxy. It was hoped that by memorizing this summary of the faith, lay people without extensive theological training would still be able to recognize deviations from orthodox […]
I am working on an entry about what I beleive and came across this site which lists all three of the major creeds. I realized that even thought I am a beleiver, I have never really written down literally what I beleive. I mean, I have even memorized the Nicene Creed but now I want […]
It has been kinda weird to see how many memories have been coming up the last couple of weeks. My parents are getting ready to move out of the house that I grew up in so I am just got a carload of boxes that have things from all throughout my high school and college […]
5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. BibleGateway.com It seems like I […]
This is an addition to two previous entries that I wrote almost a year ago on a past blog. So that this new entry makes sense, I have included the first two here: primos girl 1 I am actually pretty excited to write this entry which is not the norm unfortunately…Regardless here it is and […]
There are many writers and preachers that I enjoy…Some encourage me, some challenge me, some convict me…But only a select few do all the above and more. John Piper is one of those men. Just for comparison sake, other men on that short list would include C.S. Lewis, Jonathan Wesley, and Dr. Mac Brunson. My […]
There are few things that will melt away whatever is plaguing your mind like a hot bath, candle light, and a Damien Rice CD (or something along those musical lines)…I was indulging in just such an experience when it occurred to me just how much Satan has twisted that word. Pleasure. Pleasures. One of my […]
A cross is made out of wood that everyone writes their confessions on… At different times throughout the evening, the group and cross is moved to a different location where a verse is read. Finally the cross is painted red to signify the death of Christ.
I hope to be bold when I am old Bu the sounds in the night Give me quite a fright But then I say, “Hey” I know how to pray! I know it is God’s will when he says, “Peace child be still”. From My 4th Grade journal that was just recovered…
Possession of a gift is not an index to quality of faith. Rather, the gift is a challenge to faithful use. (from footnote for Rom. 12:6) What isn’t a gift in my life?
OK, after a little rest I am ready to put a little bit more down….It is wierd to see a movie that highlights only the transitions of a relationship…But I think the part that really screwed with me was the lack of hope in Jude Law’s character…It doesn’t matter who he was with or without […]
First and foremost, I am not in any way giving a blanket recommendation to this film…There were elements that would definitely offend people…You name it, it was in this film…But after I finished watching “Closer” a nerve was touched… this film made me remember some bittersweet memories…Some more bitter than sweet…I have seen the movie […]
Dance like nobody’s watching; love like you’ve never been hurt. Sing like nobody’s listening; live like it’s heaven on earth.” — Mark Twain
An excerpt from Dorothy Sayers collection of essays “Creed or Chaos” : A very able surgeon put it to me like this: “What is happening,” he said, ” is that nobody works for the sake of getting the thing done. The actual result of the work is a by-product; the aim of the work is […]
I will preface this entry by saying there is a little edge to it simply because I am writing this right after it happened and am still a little hot. but having said that… I had a great quite time this morning and even made breakfast for myself…I have a great hour or so of […]
One of my really good female friends emailed this to me and I thought I would pass it on…it is a list of things that Christian Girls (dare I say Primos Girls) look for in a guy/leader/husband/etc….. 1. puts others needs ahead of his own 2. rejoices in his relationship with the Lord (dont have […]
One of my close college buddies called me up today and exclaimed the previous statement to me…which i followed with a nice, surprisingly refreshing laugh. And before you crawl all over me about the name “focker”, you have to see the movie in order for it to be funny…I am not sure why I am […]
