Words of love

God is teaching me so much about myself and relationships lately, its crazy. The importance of getting into someones life and really learning how to love them unconditionally is quite refreshing actually. Vulnerability is scary, but vital if we really want to get to the heart of God. God wants us to love [...]

You Never Give Me Your Mooooney

In light of a blog I wrote a few days ago, about loving people and loving them well, I have begun asking God how exactly I should go about this. I believe He gave me some answers and I wanted to share them with you.
Yesterday, I had lunch with some friends, and I couldn’t [...]

Octopus’s Garden

I got a tattoo the other day. Its significance is great, so I felt it blog-worthy. First, I feel the need to explain why now, after waiting for so many years, I decided to do this.
I am a gen-Xer. I am of the generation following the biggest in American history, the Baby [...]

Shes got a ticket to ri-i-ide…

The other day, I was sitting at the edge of the coast watching the waves. I do this often but that day was different. The waves were as big and frequent as I had seen them in a long time, and the wind was really blowing hard. I watched as the white [...]

He’s a real nowhere man

I just finished watching a long anticipated movie called Chapter 27.
You may be saying to yourself, “I have never heard of it.” That would be because of the lack of press it received because of the content. You see, this movie is based on the tragic event that unfolded on December 8th, 1980; [...]

Wow

In response to the post prior to this one, my horses didn’t win, and to eat my words..the favorite won…
Unfortunately something else happened that is very rare, but tragic none the less.  The second place winner, a filly named Eight Belles fell as she was crossing the finish line, throwing the jockey.  Fortunately he was [...]

Run for the Roses

Today is the first Saturday in May, which to a die hard Kentuckian means only one thing…the Kentucky Derby. In this case, number 134.
Currently, its about one hour away from the official start..the Run For The Roses as its so affectionately called.  A horse named Big Brown is the favorite, but with his positioning, I [...]

I read the news today, oh boy…

I really like this song (A Day in the Life, the Beatles) and wondered what it was really about, so I gathered some facts and opinions…here is what I came up with:
A 41 piece orchestra played on this. The musicians were told to attend the session dressed formally. When they got there, they were presented [...]

Mentors

My ipod strikes again. Today’s song that spoke to my heart was called 6th Avenue Heartache by The Wallflowers. The song itself is about history repeating itself, and the singers struggle to move on. The line that sticks out goes:
and the same black line that was drawn on you, was drawn [...]
