Count Your Blessings

Sometimes throughout my days I forget what I have been given. I focus on the negative. I don’t have that, this is stupid, if only I had this I could move forward. I need to quit doing that. I need to be more positive. We all should be. I’ve got so many things that half [...]

Happy New Year, 2011!

Well, it’s that time of year again. Kissing the old year out, kissing the new year in. (5 points for those who got that reference) And as I recall, I said I’d be posting more on this blog last year. Well, not so much. I will be trying to make a good habit out of [...]

Oh Me of Little Faith

I’ve been realizing lately how little faith I have. I’m not actively trusting God to take care of things around me. It’s all the things I want to control. My job, my music, my finances; I want all of these to be under my complete control. And I fool myself into thinking that if I [...]

I’m In the Dip

Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m in the dip. You know, that place that Seth Godin talks about. The place where you need to decide whether to push forward or not. I’ve been pulled in a lot of directions lately. I don’t really mind those directions, I’m just about hitting my max number of projects [...]

What You Learn By Doing

Everyone wants to know how to do something. Sometimes it’s learning a new skill, and sometimes enhancing something you already know. Whatever that is, there seems to be one good way to do so. Go and do it. Sometimes the best way to learn something is to be thrown into the situation and you having [...]

This Fragile Life

As some of you no doubt saw these past few days on my Twitter feed, my grandmother passed away on Friday after a massive stroke. I still don’t know what to think or do, even after her memorial service last night. The biggest shock for me was the fact that my grandparents visited over Christmas [...]

Merry Christmas to You!

Just wanted to tell everyone merry Christmas from me! Hope your holidays are merry and bright, as the song says. Enjoy your (hopefully) off time from work and enjoy your family and friends. And thank God for his blessings and love. [ Photo from jerry7171 ]

Long Time, No Post

For my readers, I’ve been very slack on my posting recently. It’s been 2 months since I posted last. That’s too long. In any case, I think my blogging hiatus was a little needed for me, if a little abrupt. I’ve been working at a new job, coding new themes on the side, and playing [...]

Coming to Myself

One of my favorite parables is the story of the prodigal son. The story goes like this: A father had two sons. The younger was, well, young and thought he knew better. He wanted his inheritance, and his father gave it to him. He went away, blew all of the money on wine, women, and [...]

Do All You Can

So, what happens when you are in the midst of a struggle? You do all you can. You fight for it. This can be said of any struggle really. At least any struggle that truly matters. (Figuring out the difference between important ones and unimportant ones is another matter) When the job is on the [...]
