Precipice of my Mary transformation: a look back at my Martha

Photo 149Let’s take a journey together. I have been going through a lot of upheaval in my life as of late. I want to share with you my worries, concerns, and hardship. I am looking for a job which has been a very tedious process, I am still recovering from my most recent surgeries, and I am a single guy in a super sex saturated world. In light of all of these things in my daily life I find it all too easy to fall in to the snare of depression, sadness, and anxiety. Let’s look at my situation in light of what God says in the Bible and add some perspective to these events and feelings. Read more

Do we trust God to take on the harlot in life: reflection on Hosea 1

31_131I just finished a study and it was suggested that I read Hosea chapter 1 because it is a great expression of God’s grace and love.

The legacy of glacier melting and Rich Mullins

tobyMac - Alive And Transported - Diverse City


I’m lying here in bed and I just finished watching a NOVA documentary about glaciers melting. Glaciers are massive and they seem unmovable but when you look at pictures over time you can really see the changes in them. I’m not looking to debate the effect of humans on global climate because I’d much rather talk about legacy. When a glacier melts completely it dies but you are able to see that there was a glacier present. The errosion of the ground and the boulders are sign posts to the glacier. When I die what will my legacy be? Will the lack of my existence be noticable? Read more
