Recent Read: Tortilla Flat

I chipped away another one of Steinbeck's short novels last week, Tortilla Flat. A whimsical, idyllic look at the Paisanos, a merry band of Californian men too busy sucking the marrow out of life to work...or care about much else but wine...or care about working at all. …

Blogreaders: Meet Angela

She embarked on her maiden voyage about a week ago.
Stylish. Simple. Green. Free transportation.

Brotherhood...

I leave tomorrow for what is always a highlight of my year. Every year since my college graduation (2002), some of my closest college buddies have gathered together to spend a weekend catching up, reminiscing, grilling, playing basketball, and doing other stuff not fit …

Moo Cards...

I just got my first set of Moo Cards. Moo Cards are tiny info cards (aka 'business cards') that you can customize yourself. You can upload your own image(s) on the back, or choose one of Moo's. I chose a Celtic Cross I found while in Scotland. You can get an assortment …

I'm on my way to feast....

HERE. I'm wearing my loose jeans. If you've ever been, you know why...mmmm.

God's Hiddenness vs. God's Absence

compulsive capitalist craving...

...if someone wanted to buy me a nintendo wii, i wouldn't be opposed to that. i even might be compelled to hug you.

On Mentoring/Life Coaching

I've been spending a lot of time recently mentoring and life-coaching young adults regarding their future, helping them plot a course to discern God's call for their lives. It's been really fulfilling and energizing for me; something I really enjoy.

Shameless Plug: Sara's Garden

My family is heavily involved with a non-profit ministry called Sara's Garden. Sara's Garden (named after Bekah's sister Sara Rychener/Burkholder) is a hyperbaric oxygen therapy center, conductive education therapy provider, and a host of other services to people with …

Digging This: Mute Math's "You Are Mine"

You Are Mine, Mute Math (self titled)

De-motorize your soul..

Seriously. Free yourself from the vice-grip of oil on your checkbook and your soul.

It's a monumental day...

Bekah and I just booked our first ever free flights, courtesy of 50,000 Northwest Airlines WorldPerks miles. It's been a long time coming, and we each even have some miles left over. We're heading to the Pacific NW (Seattle and Vancouver) to hang out with some good …

How I Use My Moleskine...

I've come to realize that while some people journal naturally, many others must make it a practice in order to find a good groove. I fall into the latter category. No two journal-ers are alike, and I've definitely had my struggles finding a method that really resonates …

What the heck is a 'moleskine'?

I'm glad you asked. Upon first glance, a moleskine is a simple journal. Upon further inspection, a moleskine is so much more. The moleskine line has a number of different journals for different purposes, but they all have a common heritage. Moleskines have been used by …

A Spiritual Gut Check...

I centered my times in Scripture last week on Romans 12. Verses 9-12 have been, and still are, consuming me. Paul has just finished his famous clarion call to become 'living sacrifices.' In these verses, he explains the embodiment of true, pure love in action; one could …

Stirring my soul....

"But the noble man makes noble plans, and by noble deeds he stands." --Isaiah 32:8

drewmoser.com v. 1.1 (or something)...

This site has undergone a visually slight, yet still profound shift. I long ago ditched the notion that this could be a serious contribution to theological blogging. I'm by no means an aspiring blogger nor a serious one. I don't have the time nor the energy for it and …

Scotland Trip, Redux

Okay, here's a much better attempt to describe my Glasgow, Scotland trip. The previous simply didn't do the trip justice. The experience was fantastic. Personally soul-refreshing, corporately uniting as a ministry, and just a plain blast. As I mentioned before, we …

I'm back...

Scotland was incredible. God was so good to us and blessed us in so many ways. For now, I'm focusing on catching up with Bekah and Ben, praying Isa home, and trying to get on a normal sleeping schedule. I'm also working hard on ignoring my inbox, hoping to God that all …
