a caricature of God

my dad has the same name as a famous tennis player who shall remain nameless. i think he was still in the spotlight when i was young, but i have a hard time remembering back that far… those were the days when athletic talent mattered more than how the athlete looked on the cover of [ READ MORE ]

the stuff between

you know that guy that is always spoiling the ending for you? “great flick, i didn’t know until the very last scene that bruce willis was dead!” “schweet movie, who would have guessed brad pitt and ed norton are the same guy?” “dude, you missed the game? knicks won by 8…” are we doing the same [ READ MORE ]

leave it vacant

in an attempt to overthrow idle busyness and regain a sabbath, a day to rest and relax in the arms of my Savior (the second week in a row i’ve dedicated an entire day to such and have actually been successful at it, woohooo!), i’ve become reacquainted with my balcony. the balcony was in hibernation [ READ MORE ]

code 402

spam evangelism

all right, i’m doing it again. i’m re-posting here a comment i made elsewhere in weblogland. they say those who can, do. for instance, those who can blog, blog. i say those who can’t (or at least aren’t inspired at the moment) comment on the blogs of others. new york is an inspiring place, but [ READ MORE ]

what is it about the true God that is so hard to follow? are His ways hard? do good, love God, love people… are they contrary to nature in the heart of the reborn? i believe that we truly want to do the right things; our sin is not usually premeditated… it happens when we [ READ MORE ]

seasons change

ok, is it just me or did the transition between windy march and april showers just breeze by? i once heard that if the month of march were not so windy, that the pollen from the freshly forming buds would idly sit and accumulate at such a rate that would choke out new plant growth. [ READ MORE ]

psalm 139

cool paraphrase of psalm 139 Thou art the God of the early mornings, the God of the late at nights, the God of the mountain peaks, and the God of the sea; but, my God, my soul has further horizons than that of nature; Thou, who art the God of all of these, be my God. [ READ MORE ]

grace

i heard john piper speak tonight – amazing! who would have thought that an old pasty white guy could be so with it… that guy is passionate about grace, and about spreading that gospel. he talked from romans 4, “he who lives by the law shall be judged by the law.” something that really made [ READ MORE ]

do not get a few

ok, some of these are just for me, notes of thoughts that just occurred to me while reading, praying, or just in general thought. maybe i’ll come back and read them one day, and it will have a huge impact on me. maybe years after my death, someone will come across some mundane scribblings on [ READ MORE ]
