Today after I got up, took a shower, brushed my teeth, shaved, put gel in my hair, and covered myself in body spray, I got my ipod and put on my new old navy jacket and headed out into the world. I just got paid and thought I’d head out and buy a couple of things [...] -

The other day I was reading this article and I really just wanted to share some of the things the author had to say. The article was about tapping into God’s power and said that most of the time we don’t have enough faith in ourselves. The author points out that most of the times when [...] -

I just finished watching the movie August Rush and it was one of the most moving films I have ever scene. I wanted to take a second to write about how much it has to say about our walk and relationship with God, but I figured I would let the movie speak for itself… these some [...] -

Today was one of those perfectly beautiful days. It was one of those days that I wish I had hammock so I could just lay out in the sun and sway back in forth gently rocking in that heavenly breeze. I didn’t have to work this morning so I slept in and missed most all of [...] -

When I was in high school I took a lot of art classes. Honestly I think that a lot of the reason was that it was pretty much the only way to stay out of choir or band. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed it and think that I learned a lot about myself in [...] -

No matter how hard we try we cannot avoid being hurt in this world. This place is dirty, its mean, and it doesn’t care one bit what happens to us.

The saying “too much to do and not enough time” has become more than a familiar phrase to many of us. A lot of times it becomes our life motto. I don’t think the world was always so concerned with trying to fit so many trivial things into each day. I spent thanksgiving with my grandparents [...] -

I have been very aware of the fact that I haven’t written on here in a very long time. The funny thing is the longer that I went without writing a post, the harder it seemed to sit down and acutally write another one. There was this overwhelming fear that I couldn’t live up to what [...] -

A couple of days ago I got back into town from my vacation in Colorado. The biggest thing that I noticed when I got back is life’s ability to pick up exactly from where it left off. My trip was a very necessary break from all of the stress and chaos from the daily grind. I [...] -

I was sitting out in a park the other day and I was really just overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of God’s creation around me. As I walked past a pond ducks and geese played follow the leader and nervous frogs jumped into the safety of the water. Butterflies danced this way and that way in [...] -

I think one of the biggest things that we as people struggle with is self confidence. For some reason we just have trouble believing in ourselves, and whatever the reason is we need to stop thinking like this.
