An Unstoppable Force
The last few days, I’ve come across this thought that seems to be reoccurring and probably something I should spend some time in prayer and contemplation over: do we actually believe that what we read in the Bible is possible in our time and culture?
I know… stupid question. Of course it is possible.
But in the [...]

Can music become prayer?
I thought this article was interesting, well spoken by the Pope. Not that the Pope is any final authority on the subject, but I find it comforting that music in general, not just Sunday morning praise music, can become a means of prayer.

This past Sunday, October 11th, my 3rd Cousin was [...]

Shut Up and Listen to God
I’ve written several times on the subject silence and solitude. I’m a much more contemplative person, I would rather chew on a thought or piece of scripture for many hours or days than I would try and fly through a book. For me, a bunch of head knowledge about what a book (of the Bible) [...]

Think before you move
I recently purchased a new iPod and I’ve been obsessed with some of the games I can download on it. I’m cheap, so I stick with the free ones. Checkers is now among my favorites.
I get caught up in how much I think before every move or series of moves. My mind processes the board [...]
