Because of the odd week, I’m going to post an odd entry. Just for fun. Laughs and giggles.

Today is All We’ve Got
I keep living my life…
Hoping for a phone call that never comes.
Longing for a hand to hold that doesn’t exist.
Listening for a song that hasn’t been sung.
When will I learn that this is life?
This is it. Today is today.
And this is all we’ve got.
I’m living my life…
Making my schedule around plans [...]

A few days ago, I put in my two-weeks notice at Starbucks. It was a much easier process this time. I did this for several reasons, none of which are really worth explaining, or probably even valid excuses…but I did it, nonetheless.

Matthew 14:6-12 On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for them and pleased Herod so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever [...]

I’ve been listening to the Bible on an audio CD called “The Bible Experience.” From time to time, I will share my thoughts on the books i’ve been listening.
Matthew, Mark, and Luke (so far…)
1. Matthew is all about the fulfillment of the prophecies.
2. When an evil spirit is cast out, it goes away and gets [...]

This weekend I had a breakthrough. I’m not sure how it happened…it wasn’t through dramatic praying or journalling or anything. It was subtle. Refreshing. But something very clear.
I’m ready to move on. I’m ready to invest in teens again, I’m ready to invest in those girls I had close relationships with back then. I’m ready [...]

I thought I knew the gospels inside and out. Or at least knew the gist of the story. But since Christmas I have been listening to this amazing CD collection of the Bible called “The Bible Experience” and so many things have grabbed my attention as I’ve driven to work and back.
