Me the Impatient Moth

Me, the impatient moth.

It is often the little things in life that serve as the best object lessons. Sometimes the smallest occurrences can put you in your place. The other day I was locking up the glass doors at the church when I noticed a moth fluttering against the door in a feeble attempt...

Pretending Jesus Was as Selfish as Us

Recently I have seen a quote by Stephen Colbert start popping up all around major social media sites. In-case you don’t know who Colbert is, he can probably be described as a comedy news anchor and talk-show host. The quote is almost perfect in its sharpness, and I think most importantly it...

It’s Time!

In the grand scheme of things, I really haven’t been a Christian for very long.  I have although noticed that there is a common sense among Christians that God moves slowly. And often that is true, especially when we are waiting for Him to answer a prayer. Yet there are many instances in...

Pondering Love…

Following the leadership of the Lord can be hard at times. Especially when we feel He is saying ‘no’ to something we really want, or advising us to do something when we really don’t want to do it. These are the times when we most often try to wrestle the control of our lives away from Him. So,...

Christmas on a Sunday? But…?

Once every 7 years or so, Christmas falls on a Sunday. Having gone to church myself every Sunday for far too long, you might think I deserve the day off. What’s it going to hurt if we just shut the doors and skip church for one Sunday anyway? Well, it will hurt Christmas, I tell you! I’m...

It’s Us versus Them

At a Sounders game the other week we were all singing a song that says “when it’s us versus them you can always count on me, when its us versus them it’s a sounders unity”. Now the point of this chant is to say that you can always count on your fellow supporters to stand for your team and...

If You Say It You Mean It

This past Sunday Pastor Brandon spoke on James 3, and I have to say it was my favorite message in this series so far. Speaking life is something that I have really been dwelling on recently. When I look back at me as a young kid I can’t help but laugh. I was not a big kid by any means, and so...

Courage and Presence…

Working with youth, I so often hear students who wish they possessed more courage.  Courage to introduce themselves to new friends at school, courage to pray for another that they know is in need, courage to stand out and be different than the average teenager.
I think it is ok, in fact...

A Safe-House…

I have noticed something about myself, that if I have an answer to something I am not all that frustrated when challenges come my way. If I know how to fix something, it is not all that bothersome when it breaks. I get really irritated however, if something is broken and I have no way to repair...
