“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” -Epicurus (Greek philosopher...my people)

Daily prayer to my daily Valentine

Lord, unweave the web I've wove and tangle me up (again) in You. Capture my soul (again) because You already have my heart---and surely, my body will follow. 

Found this in a journal entry from February 2009. Still seems so applicable.

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

How enticing is that place
The brink of risk
The edge of uncertainty

How captivating is its taste
The end result
Will it be worthy?

How much will it cost
The loss of comfort
The gain of currency

How much is lost
Relationships I've built
Tossed out with urgency

How do I stay
And not hunger
And not yearn

How do I go
And walk away
And not return

A Thousand Words...He Speaks Through Creation

Sometimes God's brilliance speaks the loudest to me through His creation. The simplicity of something's beauty mixed with the complexity of the entity itself. An entity that seems at first glance to stand alone, but in reality lies so heavily dependent on something bigger than itself. Simply incredible.

Miller knows best...

In an ever-changing world, be consistent. Every organization has room for a rock. (Donald Miller)


Today I left work 30 minutes late cause I lost track of what time I was supposed to leave. I was having too much fun. Try it. (Interpretive movement or conversations about breakdancing are both good places to start).
