Menu: Creative Overflow, Missing the Point, and Fun Stuff (Good Things)

I was thinking yesterday about a cool video idea.

I thought it would be important to illustrate how we can sit in a church seat on Sunday and receive the Idea

develop the Idea

but never share or implement the Idea.

Late Night Revelations

No matter how much I struggle,

No matter how much I fail in following Christ,

No matter how little I do, or how much I do,

No matter how much I am blessed;

No matter how little,

God is awesome,

and the life he gives me to live:

? (bloop) { cuz that's the sound a question makes }

Hi, everybody!

One of the best stories for what happens when we ask questions of God and of ourselves is the dialogue between God and Moses in .

At first Moses doesn't realize exactly what he's dealing with.

"Burning bush? I'm going to CHECK THIS …

Last Exam...

Last exam...hehehehehe...last exam.....

Open Discussion.

I have heard two sides to this discussion of whether God has faith in us...

I believe that God DOES have faith in us. He hopes beyond hope...he yearns for us to chose the right path to Him. Although we have not given Him any reason to believe in us, I think that …

The Reset Button...A Close Shave

I am at work...and bored. No customers at the coffee house tonight. BUT, "All of the Above" has been playing LOUD all night.

This blog post is just for fun.

Today, I shaved my beard off. It was time to reset, turn over a new leaf, end "No Shave November"-ish …

Real Authentic Mexican Food...

There are three types of Mexican food:

1.) The type you eat in Mexico, my favorite. With things such as puerco pibil, rice water, etc. using a variety of spices and ingredients native to that culture.

2.) The type you eat at your local Mexican restaurant …

What God Helped Me Find...a parking space

God took care of me today.

In keeping with my pursuit of spending time with my buddy in the morning when I wake up, Jesus helped me out in some serious ways this morning. It was just small things...but sometimes it's the small things

that are really big things. …

Sunday Night

I had some thoughts tonight at 6:45:

- "Surrendering all" means opening yourself to receive God's word and obey His commands (the voice that sometimes puts you in awkward situations) NOT saying that you surrender, but instead trying to do all the deciding on your …

Late Nite

Cannot sleep (though a can o' sleep would be good, if there was such a thing), and so I write.

Sunday I must be done with this architecture project that has consumed my free time as of late. This means that you will probably see little of me this weekend (but 6:45 …

Things I'm Looking Forward To....

1.) Finishing my train station design/ project
2.) Using a laser cutter (the closest thing to a lightsaber...I think in Bobby's World style)
3.) Fignite (NewSpring Student Ministry) on Wednesday! I'll probably serve coffee...
4.) Cooking breakfast in T-minus 8.5 …

Thanksgiving

Of all the things I'm thankful for the best
Are these right here:
I am thankful for God giving me rest,
And friends throughout this year.

I am thankful for time with family,
And with Jesus too.
I am thanful for laughing merrily,
And for times that were blue.

I am thankful for …

Blowing Some Dust Off this Blog Site....

AGH!

That's a one liner. Anyway, yeah, it has been a while since I have written on this blog, and since I am feeling englishy today (which is the sense and/or impression of one's ability to be quite prolific with words and creative with speech) I will begin with a blog …

Welcome to 9 19!

Hey guys! The past couple of weeks, Matt Feiling and I have been meeting with Kevin Baynard, president of Clemson's FCA , in order to strategically organize and enhance FCA's ministries. We are meeting again today in order to hopefully lay down some hard decisions as …

Prayer Room?

So, I have a lot of ideas to try out in ministry. Not every idea is perfect for every ministry. But in every church or community there are people who have been tapped by God to carry out ideas that benefit the whole. Some ideas work, some don't work. Some work once, and …

WOTA: In-Hand Sandwich Dispersion

Today, I reintroduce a completely random but age-old past-time of The Word of The Awesomeness (WOTA) ! Yes, a series of entries better than the Encyclopedia Brittanica that compiles the nuance-words or our hyper-changing culture.

Today's entry:

Family Weekend

This weekend has been great as far as getting some wonderful family time. Last night, my Dad and I went to the Thai restaurant in Anderson (very yummy!) and today I helped the fam clean out the attic (lots of memories up there...).
