Posterous
Trying to figure out how to use Friendfeed & Posterous to update my social networking sites without post duplication. Not having much success. Friendfeed was SO much better before Facebook bought it & halted development on it.
The Enemy Within
Flip Wilson may have popularized the phrase “The Devil made me do it!”, but the sad reality for most of us (if we’re honest) is that we don’t really need the Devil’s help to do wrong. We are drawn to it all by ourselves. Sure, he helps “push us over the edge” but as James [...]
How God Uses Loneliness
My old friend, Jim Driscoll, has written an interesting article on “Seers and Loneliness” on his blog. God uses times of loneliness to draw us closer to Him and give us revelation about the world around us! If you don’t know what a seer is, or would like to learn more about spiritual seeing, I [...]
Giving Church Another Chance
I’ve been reading Todd Hunter’s book Giving Church Another Chance and have been really struck by how closely it parallels my own spiritual journey. I became a Christian in the early 90s in the Reformed Church in America (albeit under a pastor with Hispanic Church of God roots), but eventually migrated to the Vineyard, where [...]

More on the Lakeland Outpouring
I’m sorry I haven’t written more (not really), but I’ve simply been far too busy enjoying the summer and my semester off from school! I’ve been getting a lot of recreational reading done (check out my "Visual Bookshelf" on Facebook for details), though you’ll probably have to ask me to be your friend before you [...]
Now that’s what I’m talking ’bout!: Jesus for President!
Everything
Another song that’s become a mantra for me. ++Jesus be my everything!++
God of Justice
This song has been haunting me for quite some time now. I was talking on the telephone today with an old friend and as I mentioned it to him, I realized this song encapsulates everything I want my life to be about. What I most love about the song is that it includes the realization [...]
