Flame of God

Know what subject I haven’t glanced on yet? Poetry. I’ve also been putting off continuing my 5 Resolutions series for months. Resolution #3 is Pray. An overwhelming and intimidating topic, it turns out. Hopefully I’ll get around to tackling it eventually, but I can’t promise it’ll be soon. Consider today’s post a starting point onContinueContinue reading “Flame of God”

Metaphors & Mountaintops

The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. John 1:4-5 Light is a metaphor. Not just in the gospel of John, either. I am convinced that God created light, separating it from the darkness (GenesisContinueContinue reading “Metaphors & Mountaintops”

The Trouble With Faith-Based Entertainment

A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet. -Orson Welles Last week, I sort of introduced a touchy subject. Mostly, I tip-toed around it. This was partially because I didn’t want it to overwhelm the whole post, and partially because, well… it is a touchyContinueContinue reading “The Trouble With Faith-Based Entertainment”

What I Write: An Introduction

I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say. -Flannery O’Connor Happy Monday, everyone! Today I’ll be continuing in the introductory theme I began in the previous post (feel free to press pause for a sec and go check that one out, if you haven’t already.)

Resolution For Saner Living #2: Quiet Down

Many people are fond of bemoaning the declining state of the world, of pointing out how it’s getting worse all the time. For my part, I’ve always held with Ecclesiastes 1v9-11: History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new. Sometimes people say, “Here is something new!”ContinueContinue reading “Resolution For Saner Living #2: Quiet Down”

5 Resolutions For When Life Gets Crazy

I write about some things that a lot of people probably don’t agree with. Here are a few points though, that I doubt anyone will argue: -The world is a crazy, messed up place. -It isn’t getting better. -It very often snags and drags us along with it, making our lives crazy and messed up,ContinueContinue reading “5 Resolutions For When Life Gets Crazy”

My heart is full of unwashed socks, my soul is full of gunk

A no-brainer preface to all of this: White supremacists/Nazis/Klansmen/etc., are the wickedest of wicked people. Their actions and beliefs are evil and despicable in the sight of God. No ifs. No ands. No buts. I refuse to dignify their beliefs by devoting any further thoughts or words to them. Issue 1: Pride, arrogance, and statues.ContinueContinue reading “My heart is full of unwashed socks, my soul is full of gunk”
