proverbs 3.5-6
Bonhoeffer
To follow Christ we must leave all we know into new existence, created through obedience, which makes faith real and possible.
The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We have become secularized. We have taken the truth and meaning out of costly grace and have turned it into cheap grace.

2 things.
There are 2 things I’d like to share.
1. Cold shower season has officially begun for me. My dad and I just finished up a day of work on the yard getting it ready for my sisters wedding. It got up to 90 today. Thats warm. But let me tell you nothing is more refreshing than a cold shower after a long day of work in the sun. And so the season begins as the season of warm weather is upon...

Wisdom and Folly
We’re starting a bible study on Proverbs in my life group. I’m really excited for this opportunity to grow. I’ve always wanted to bible study on Proverbs. Anyway my plan is to update my blog weekly with the lesson from each week. Hopefully to help me realize and change faults in my life and comprehend what God is calling us to do.
I just did my first lesson from the book...

2010 and 2011
Well welcome to the new year! As I reflect on the past 365 days, I’d have to say 2010 was a great year. Weddings and engagements were a big part of it. In March my brother Eric and Nicole got married and I couldn’t be more happy. I love them both and enjoyed every moment of 2010 I got to hang out with them. In November my sister Christy and Dane got engaged, and the wedding is set out...

Without further ado my top 10.

2 Timothy
I recently just finished a study with my life group here in Manhattan about 2nd Timothy. This is Paul’s last letter that he writes from prison to Timothy before he is executed.I feel like I’ve learned a lot over this past semester studying his letter and I just wanted to share some of the main points I’ve come away with.
In the beginning there he talks about true suffering for...

i don’t think i’m hipster. thoughts?
Know that your spouse, girlfriend, or boyfriend can’t fix everything. Everyone has flaws. Nobody is perfect. So cherish the prize of each other. Love them as a guy or girl. Don’t love them as the ultimate problem solver. You’ll end up empty and wake up wondering why you married or are together. Knowing this I think can let you really love another person in a healthy way. Simply...

you've got polaroid
you’ve got your airplane. i’ve got the plain air of here. you’re gone. i’ve gone insane. i felt so bad when your mom caught us eating ice cream in your room at 3 in the morning cause i’d hate for her, to not want me around her daughter cause my heart stops every time.

i’m amazed this love is for me lord.
the lark
the atom its a symbol. you see that and you think atom. it shows electrons moving in eliptical paths around the nucleas and all. and we know thats not how an atoms works or looks even for that matter.
what i mean to say is that the elements of worship, are inadequate very much like the atom depiction, but this is what we have it helps us carry the idea.
the lark ascending was a piece written by...

fasting
this weekend i went on a fast for 30 hours. i had to chuckle at the thought of american culture and society. we’re so stuck on food. it seems as though every social interaction that may occur will have an emphasis on food these days.
all over the world there are people like you and me that go days without a bite of food. not only is food scarce, but so is money. several of these countries...
life is confusing. i wish i understood things.
motives, actions, meanings.
and in the words of conor oberst.
i just want to be warm yellow light that pours out over everyone.

your incoherent remarks slip past you.
your reckless peculiarity strives for a position of ailing negligence.
to me be a creature down a path of desolation and disfigurement.
i can’t practice supremacy.
i can’t entice your thoughts.
like a bird in a cage, you were my ultimate provision.
my minuscule hope.
i wish you couldn’t look straight through me.
but you’re...

Here come the Judge
So recently my mom convinced my dad to pull out his 1969 GTO. This was the car my dad drove when they were dating. Lets just say its a sweet car, and it can get up and go.
The goal is to get it running for Eric and Nicole’s wedding. It’s going to be a project but I’m really excited about it. Especially going out and cruising in it. I’d like to drive it on my wedding day...
iPad
So yesterday apple released their “latest creation” called the iPad. I first of all think the iPad is pretty much like an iPod touch. Same layout as far as apps go with software from the iPhone just on a bigger scale. Nothing is too spectacular about it. No camera, no iChat, and no usb slots, etc. Overall though I think it’s a great reader. the ibooks app seems to be really...
the book and the book to come.
I started a a book called crazy love by francis chan. I’ve heard it’s a very good read. And also challenges you. So I picked it up from my church library this afternoon. I’m excited.
This is the book that’s to come. It’s called A Million Miles In a Thousand Years by Donald Miller. I’m really excited for this one, cause I love his previous book called Blue...
Top 10 Albums of 2009
So this past year was pretty decent. I’m really excited for next year though. One thing I was disappointed about was no album this year from a band of a more ambient genre. I’m really banking on that for next year. We’ll see how that goes. But anyway, here they are from my perspective…

I now know you can work hard to help someone out… and see that it only made a tiny scratch at the surface. And you know what happens to scratches. They disappear and then are forgotten. I pray you can come to the realization of what your doing to yourself. And I pray you become enlightened in your faith and put your old self behind… again.
