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 [...]
Awareness is Not Enough
One thing I’ve been realizing lately is that awareness by itself is not enough. It is not sufficient to just be aware of a problem. If I am aware that I have cancer and yet do nothing to kill and destroy it, the cancer will still kill me. Only when I take action against the [...]
Sometimes You Just Have to Do It
Sometimes the way forward is just that; forward. Sometimes the next thing you need to do is the thing that you should have been doing all along. Most times, we know where the next step is, we just don’t want to take it. We feel like we can’t, or aren’t allowed, or shouldn’t. We just [...]
