“You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you.”
“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”
Went to the doctors today and then went home and got my haircut! I’m a healthy 6’4” and 220 lbs. I grew a half inch since last time I was there. Haha

Awesome message from Harbor's eUpdate today...
I had breakfast with a friend today…
Now, much of what I do tends to fall into a few categories. Family, Work, and Personal…oddly enough, my work inevitably collides with what some might call a faith category, but I’m coming to see faith as less of a category and more of who I am and how I live regardless of whether I’m at home, work, or Starbucks…
That being said,...

“Any jackass can kick down a barn door. It takes a carpenter to build one.”
– Opening quote from Graphic Design studio today.
Stomach problems...
It always amazes me how self-centered I get whenever I feel sick. It’s as if the entire world fades away, and I’m my only concern. I was genuinely consumed with Haiti for the past few weeks, along with following how Matt Chandler is doing, and celebrating our friend’s recent adoption success… but then I got a stomach ache.
A STOMACH ACHE! A simple stomach ache, and my...

She is beautiful...
She is beautiful. She is settled and undivided in her heart. She presses me in towards Jesus. She encourages. She is active.
She is beautiful. She calls me at all the right times. She lives to love people. She cries at all the right times. She loves me.
She is beautiful. She uses her words for good. She treats her body well. She dreams about our future children. She cares for her home, and...

Getting our self worth from...
Lately I’ve been placing my sense of self-worth in silly things; things that are temporary, immature, and under-developed. I met a couple of people tonight that confirmed this. I realized (a few hours into the night) that I was caring about how these people viewed me, both physically and socially. I was talking about my past like it was COOL to be arrested and have meaningless...

Our Sliding Scale of Grace
Just let the pictures sink in. Let them punch you in throat like it did me.
And then let us look inside ourselves and discover our double standards, prejudices, and hypocrisy about who we show grace and concern for.
Injustice is sill injustice no matter who you are or what you’ve done.

“Live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.”
Seeing the beauty in Haiti...
“Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.” -Phil. 4:8-9 (MSG)
We are supposed to think about the finer things in life; to focus on the ‘64 Bordeaux and not the...

Unnatural optimism...
Most of you could care less about my thoughts, desires and hopes… but I have them, and I’d like to chronicle them.
Most every night, I get to sit down and reflect on how awesome things are going: how much my bride-to-be loves me, how many opportunities God has given us to learn/love/gain wisdom, and how many amazing people He has brought into my life.
I’m truly grateful.
I...
