hope and fear

Friends, Co-Workers Seek Clues in Search For Missing DC Christian Outreach Worker: MyFoxDC.com

I'll admit I am very scared right now and worried.  This is a guy that not only did I spend a whole summer with but shared a room with along with 2 other guys at Myrtle Beach during my heydays in campus ministry.  Of all the summers in college, I'm not gonna lie, that one was probably my most favorite.  Due in no small part to him, of course there was also Springer and Ryan and that was a unique situation in itself.

its been a while... again

You know I thought that once this whole semester thing was over I'd be blogging more again.  Then I started working 4 days a week and painting a house when I got home.
I realized it's just way easier to post stati on facebook and watch TV.  Blogging requires actually putting my mind to work. Haha, I guess I am just really lazy.
Anyways, what I've been wanting to say for a while is...

will it still be a while? not the wedding at least

Well it has been quite a long time since I have been regularly active on this thing.  Seminary has sucked the life out of me this past year, seriously.  I spent most weeks exhausted from reading.
Hopefully, though, at least for summer, I'll be able to post more thoughts up here.  I miss just writing with no particular thesis to prove; it's freeing and pointless, sometimes I need that.

The event that looms large in my mind is a particular wedding. No! not the royal wedding, MY wedding.  I'm excited and I think, after 11 months of engagement it's starting to finally hit that I am getting married.  Like I am going to be a husband.  Woe be unto this unfortunate bride! 

love. Osama.

I’ll admit that, as of late, I am confused by those around me who are confused over whether or not they should be joyful over the death of Osama bin Laden or remorseful. 

First I’d like to point out that in being remorseful one is saying that it is better for a man to live on encouraging actions of ungodly hate.

Second I feel like such a view is pushing beyond Christians' call to love.  It is through Christ we are able to fully love God as well as fully love man.  However, when something happens, such as killing Osama, are we to mourn over it?  We are saying that what has happened should not have happened; that is saying what is better for the world is another type of world.
