WHY #3 – Live Homeless?

***(posted from “Home Sweet Homeless”) ***
“Why would you actually choose to live homeless?” I have been asked this question more times than I can possibly even count. Most of the time I actually am left feeling overwhelmed by the question. The truth is, I don’t even fully understand at times why I am doing this. [...]

"Silence is Golden"

For Lent this year, I decided to try something a little out of the ordinary. That probably doesn’t surprise most people, considering many of the other… unorthodox… ideas I’ve had. Lent is a time of preparation for the Easter season, and it is a longstanding church tradition to do something above and beyond [...]

Hunger on the Streets

Just the other day went walking
Down to the corner and I saw a man
Sitting with a cup in his hand
Saying, “Hey won’t you give me something
Won’t you give me something to eat?”
I took a look into his eyes and
I saw he had a story to tell
But I walked away with my pockets full, full of [...]

GO!

I just wanna GO.
I don’t really know where. And I don’t really know how. And I don’t really know what I’ll do when I get there, if there is actually where I’ll end up… but I love that word and I want to live it out.
I feel like God has given me a great desire [...]

Where’d the JOY go?

Holy crikey, the semester’s almost over! I am less than a week away from being a freaking senior!!! Dang!

And if you can memorize that and come say it to my face, I will almost definitely give you some pie. Unbelievably [...]

Y2K (+5) Pandemonium (PART II)

2005 was a year of incredible growth in my life. God taught me alot, and probably more than any other year, I really began to see and understand who I really am. I know you’re dying to know what this paradigm-shifting knowledge is… and luckily I have the cure for you! More Cheese!! Dig in, [...]

Faith and Reason (and Astros!)

Dang, it has been a whole month since my last post… feels like a couple weeks at most. But there is something of which I will boast. Lately I have been making good toast. Even though I’m supposed… to be making food from the coast. Haha, that was a lame way to start this sucker [...]

Junior Year begins!

School is upon us! My how time flies when you are freakin busy! The last few weeks have been very, very tiring, but so incredibly awesome! Moving in turned out to be tough, due to the plethora of problems with our house, especially the sewage backup that overflowed into our bathroom and soaked into the [...]

Summer of Joy!

Unbelievable!
There is no way to fully describe on paper how incredible my summer was! It was quite possibly the best summer I have ever had… although the summers of ‘01 and ‘03 both give it a run for it’s money… I think I will have a competition between the 3 odd summers, and each summer [...]
