the path
You and I, we are on a path together. We were walking hand in hand as I followed you through a dense forest. You were leading me, showing me the beauty around us; I had never noticed it before till you arrived. As we walked, you showed me the path ahead, just enough for me to get a taste of what was in store. You told me of the place you were taking me, the top of the mountain, and of its immense...

I'm ready to get off of this roller coaster...
With all the highs come lows. We’ve all been taught this for the better part of our lives. I remember first hearing life described this way when I was becoming a teenager and my mother decided that I should go though a booklet to help me discover God as I grew and went through puberty. It’s sad to say, but most of the stuff didn’t stick like it should and I went off and did my...
Singularity
Tonight’s bible study was very interesting, even if I didn’t think that I would get much out of it. The reasoning, tonight’s discussion was all about marriage. For someone who is currently single, this discussion is great if I get married on down the line. But for the moment, it’s only good to place in the data banks and save for later.
Forward to a conversation near the...

Another Spurgeon devotion...
Song of Solomon 2:10 Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.
Lo, I hear the voice of my Beloved! He speaks to me! Fair weather is smiling upon the face of the earth, and He would not have me spiritually asleep while nature is all around me awaking from her winter’s rest. He bids me “Rise up,” and well He may, for I have long enough been lying among the pots of...
A response to the morning devotion...
I didn’t have the time this morning to comment on the devotion that I posted on ‘forgetting God’ and wanted to post some thoughts about it.
First off, I really haven’t posted much on this blog in quite a while and wanted to get back into writing my thoughts here. What brings me back and the reason for the post earlier was because of something I remembered. The sad truth is...
a morning devotion
It seems then, that Christians may forget Christ! There could be no need for this loving exhortation, if there were not a fearful supposition that our memories might prove treacherous. Nor is this a bare supposition: it is, alas! too well confirmed in our experience, not as a possibility, but as a lamentable fact. It appears almost impossible that those who have been redeemed by the blood of...

an addendum...
I wanted to make sure that I made myself clear in regards to the last post. In no way was I trying to whine about my personal situation or that I really should just “give up” on relationships. I wanted to get across the fact that it’s all about God’s will for our lives, not ours.
Relating to this topic was the sermon Sunday at Apex. Ever since I’ve gone back, I have...
His will...
Something that I have been having issues with in my life and in regards to future planning is just trusting in God’s will. There is especially one area of my life I usually decide for myself what will happen. I hate to say it, but it’s in the area of a romantic relationship.
In the 26 years I have been alive (half way to 27) I have been in a dating relationship for a total of 3...

sermons and forgiveness...
We did something new at Apex today. Rob was out and preaching in Florida and we had Jason Wing speak about whether or not we are even getting the meaning of the Gospel right. It was a very convicting sermon about how we should be able to determine if what someone is preaching is really the Word of God or not. And that as Americans have tried to shape Gospel into something that suits us better. And...
lyrics if you want them
There are many prodigal sons On our city streets they run Searching for shelter There are homes broken down People’s hopes have fallen to the ground From failures This is an emergency! There are tears from the saints For the lost and unsaved We’re crying for them come back home We’re crying for them come back home And all your children will stretch out their hands And pick up the...

takin' pictures
I’m actually looking to buy a digital camera to make with the pictures and such. I’m not really sure what I should do about looking for one tho. I already had a lead from someone on Twitter, and the camera is pretty awesome from what I have seen so far. But am I really going to spend $200+ on a camera that will rarely see the light of day?
I mean, I in no way plan on carrying the...
work related...
I’m at work right now typing out a new post, since I don’t think I will have the will to when I get home tonight. Tonight is our first softball game and it’s not starting till some time around 7pm. By getting off of work at 530pm, I basically have just enough time to drive home and back with no break inbetween.
So I decided I’d type a few things down while I’m here...
weekend commands
Recently, my weekends have been full of stuff to do. I don’t think I have had one full day where I have done nothing but relax in a few months. It’s been a little crazy.
This weekend was no exception since we had Elijah’s Birthday bash at Quaker Steak and Lube on Friday, another party on Saturday with a few friends from high school, and then today we had church (awesome btw) and...
it's just a flesh wound
Ok, I’ve been a huge slacker the past week. I haven’t posted an update on what’s going on in a while and I know I was going to follow up last week with a post regarding a rebuttal to my post in my head, zombie…
Alot has been going on recently: job interview Thursday, King’s Island, reading one of the best manga’s ever (it’s called Beck, check it out!),...
reminder...
This is a personal note to myself that I must write the flip-side to my previous post about the human mind and our focusing on God. I hope to have it up today. I actually thought about it on my way to work today and need this reminder. I know how easy it can be to think of something and then lose it sometime later without any reminders.
Which also reminds me, I have another post out there I need...
in my head, zombie...
This post might be a little soon after my last short post, but I feel that it should be written. The mind is a powerful organ in our body. It controls our biometrics, stores information and can adapt to new situations quickly. Some even say it houses our souls. Well, I’m sure evolutionists don’t think that…with the whole ‘soul’ thing (too much maybe?). And yet we may...
a quickie
I’m actually inside at work today during lunch because of the rain God is gracing us with right now. I don’t have a ton of time, but I did want to get something down that been on my heart.
Don’t give up, no matter what life throws at you. Giving up because of circumstances or because of a sin you’ve been stuggling with only benefits those that seek to do you harm. Falling...
working...
I’m actually working on a post, but I’m thinking I might not publish it yet. I want to be sure that I have correctly conveyed what God has given me. Hopefully a new post some time soon.
spinning
Another late post. I hope this isn’t becoming a trend.
This might be a very short post since it is getting late and I do need to be up for church tomorrow. I am looking forward to whatever Rob will be teaching on at Apex tomorrow morning. His sermons always give my brain and my soul something to chew on.

the end of a long week
So, I know it’s technically Saturday but I have yet to go to bed so this will count as my Friday post. I’m really only three days in and this is getting tough. Put me through the fire Lord. This week has been one long and difficult week. So many things have happened regarding relationships, work, health and the week really doesn’t end for about another 23 hours (my weeks start on...

fyi
I am going to attempt to update this blog at least once a day. I don’t have any clue on how long that will last, but I feel that it will help me in taking something out of the life I’ve been given; give me a new insite on what God is doing in my life. Even if the only things that happened to me felt like the same old stuff.
Oh and please let me know if you like what you see. Thanks.

multivitamins for the soul
I’m beginning to realize how important a multivitamin is in regards to my overal health and well-being. Recently, I did not take any vitamins for about two days. Two days later, I got a cold. This could be merely coincidence, but this will be the second time I have caught a cold after not taking my vitamins.
So kids, take your vitamins…
This in itself is odd, because I didn’t...
with spring comes...
The past few days have been more than I think i could possibly handle in the span of a lifetime. But God does not put you into a situation you cannot handle. Specifics regarding the past few days do not matter; it is the result the drives me forward.
Spring in itself is a time of new life. Grass, trees, animals all come back to life and are buzzing with activity. The awaking of the world all...
