I have not touched this blog in quite some time. Not that I have nothing to write or nothing I desire to share with the world, but rather I am focused.... or at least somewhat focused. Focused on family. Work. Life. Yet I desire to write. To share. To create. So here I am. Returning to this place. Maybe I will write weekly. Maybe monthly. No empty promises today, simply a revamping of the idea of blogging. I am a sporadic person when it comes to creativity. Lately I have been … [Read more...] about what is a blog?!?!? re-blog – randomness #1 – on CreATiviTy

gift
I want to live in such a way that I "RECEIVE". In a way where I GIVE of myself and RECEIVE what the Universe has for me. I do not want to live in a state of being where I am always fighting to "take" what is "mine". I just became a father. It feels like God gave me the GIFT of family. First a gorgeous wife to love and now a beautiful daughter to cherish. Somewhere along the line I asked for these things, but there was no "taking" of them. Only taking a posture of … [Read more...] about gift
empty shampoo bottles
It was 3 years ago. I found myself "home" in southern California with no "exit" plane ticket in hand. This had not happened for 7 years. I moved in with my sister, brother in law, and 2 year old nephew (at the time). I remember buying the biggest shampoo and conditioner bottles I had purchased in a long time. You see when you are constantly moving you don't need to drag around full sized bottles of the stuff. Often you just end up using someone else's anyway. As I looked at an almost … [Read more...] about empty shampoo bottles
on LOVE
This post was started months ago. Yes many months ago. Yet only the title has been in tact. I guess I have been busy with the reality of life. The reality of BEING in LOVE. I just got married on January 17, 2014. It has been a whirlwind of activity leading up to and surrounding that great day. And all I can say is the God is way better than I could have ever expected. You know when you plan something and put tons of effort into it, you never quite know how it is going to turn out until … [Read more...] about on LOVE
Montana for the weekend – the freedom of ART
Montana for a few days. This past weekend I had the pleasure of partnering with Revival Cry ministries. Dennis Reanier and his team have a heart to see people connect with The Lord in a deep way. Creating space for an encounter with the living God, the reality of life in Jesus and of the resurrection power of God. They also have a heart for connecting different ministers and raising up the next generation of leaders. I like these guys! So, I basically invited myself over to Bozeman, … [Read more...] about Montana for the weekend – the freedom of ART
prayer
PRAYER. Sometimes it is simply the act of being still in the midst of a seemingly busy day. Sometimes it is crying out for a sick loved one. Sometimes it is groaning without words. Other times it is lifting up a list of life happenings and seeking assistance from the One above. PRAYER. May I learn to quite my heartbeat and align myself with the PEACE of the LORD. The SHALOM that HE offers in every storm & every sweet spot. I think that may be what the psalmist is speaking … [Read more...] about prayer
Anticipation. Life continues to happen.
I sit here on this sunny Wednesday afternoon. I feel like life is shifting. Shifting gears. Moving forward. Preparing to GO. To move on. To hit the road. TRAVEL. International. Local. RELATIONSHIP. More and more I realize my life, my vocation, my time is spent best on relationships. Communicating (well, attempting to), drinking coffee with people. Discussing the thing we call life. FAITH and LIFE. This is my VOCATION. “For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I … [Read more...] about Anticipation. Life continues to happen.
Bloody Boston
Wednesday. April 23. 2013 San Diego, CA 2:23pm As I was driving, well actually while I was getting gas, which is a bit of a mission for my car (I have to actually stand there and pump it till it is full...no auto filling this car, due to a little issue with the fuel tank.) I took the forced moment to think. In the last few days it seems like I have constantly been … [Read more...] about Bloody Boston
