I’ve recently started running after a long athletic hiatus. This Nike commercial pretty much explains why.

On Transition and Sermon Prep
Posted in Personal on May 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Typical. When one has nothing to do, nothing happens, but yet when a week is really busy suddenly there is time to blog. Escapism, perhaps? This Sunday I’ll be preaching at Christ Our Hope Church in Wake Forest on 1 Peter 5:6-11, which is primarily concerned with hope through suffering. I don’t anticipate that this will [...]
A Morning Meditation

If you even periodically read this blog, you’ll have noticed that nothing of substance has been posted in several months. Let this fact give testimony for my personal spiritual condition during this time; meager at best. The Lord is good and merciful, though, and has not let me go. Praise Him!
The last few weeks have [...]
Stay Tuned…

My wife and I, sensing the impending doom of our youth once the baby comes in eight weeks, are spending the weekend on a last-minute trip to New York City to visit some old friends. I’ll be sure to post some thoughts on the trip (and plenty of other subjects) when we return.

Confessions of the Functionally Unemployed

Well, here we are. Just over a month ago, I graduated from seminary. I am now a Master of Divinity. Armed with my Divine Masterness, I still work at the YMCA. When people ask, “What do you do for a living?”, I simply say, “I yell at kids.” Yep, that education is really paying off.
My [...]
Birthday Update

Okay, so I know the title looks bad. I promise I’m not begging for any, “Oh man! I forgot your birthday was last week, now I feel like a jerk” comments. You should not remember my birthday. You’ve got more important things to remember, I understand. I’m actually writing this post now because I’m swamped [...]
The End Draws Nigh

If you quickly look at my previous post, you will learn that it has now been over a month since I’ve last posted on this blog. Shameful. Disgusting. Unacceptable. I can only hang my head in embarassment and apologize to the three people who may have visited my blog in the meantime. To you, O [...]
On Change

There is something about being in your twenties that resists any hint of stability. We enter this decade normally in the chaos of college, with all of the pining, striving, and transience that comes with being an undergraduate. As soon as you take off the cap and gown, you’re off to either more school, beginning a career, [...]
Put A Cork In It!

Tonight marked the second time in three days that I’ve had to apologize to someone for making a blunt, ill-conceived remark. What makes the situation even worse is that the same person was on the receiving end both times! Thankfully, amends have been made, but at this point I’m considering not speaking for a couple of weeks. So much for preaching [...]
