My Journey

  • I'm a guy who loves control but feels totally powerless to gain it.
  • I'm a guy who loves the "toys" the world offers but knows they're not mine to seek after.
  • I'm a guy who loves my kids so very much but feels like a crappy dad lots of the time.
  • I'm a guy who loves and adores my wife but hurts and disappoints her often.
  • I'm a guy who is trying hard, failing constantly, and realizing over and over again that Jesus' grace and forgiveness are sufficient for me.
  • I am His son & beloved...A man undone by His undeserved love.
  • Nero, the Burning of Rome and Context for 1&2 Peter

    Prayer – The Examen of Consciousness Part 3

    INTRO
    I find that a deep, consistent prayer life is very difficult to sustain and even engage in.  God made me to be a doer, a lover of crossing off the items on my list. I’m someone who loves to achieve. When I pray about something, I’m usually already acting out my solution as I’m praying.  [...]
