A Grief Observed

Grief is in many ways an inconsolable journey that one must endure with those who have shared in the loss. But even as those people journey together; they are all of them still alone, for the journey is a lonely one.

Latin, Thoughts, Pretention and Theology

It is plausible that I am the greatest writer to have never written a book. However I am in the planning stages of a Novel. I supposed that it would be easy to write a novel if I had any sort of story worth telling.

I am on at a good clip on learning Latin. ‘Why’, [...]

That’s the Beauty of Music, they cannot take it away.

When I listen to Beethoven’s String Quartet: Lento assai e cantata tranquillo from Opus 135, I feel as if the weight of the world lifts from my heart. This music cannot simply be described as a wonderful piece of music in the light that Beethoven wrote the piece after completely loosing his hearing. [...]

An Imagining

I imagine that he was something of a simple man with simple features from a simple town. At one time, he was just a little boy with little hands and friends who would chase him. He would laugh and chase them in return. In those moments, Joseph and Yahweh watched their son grow-up. Mary, watching [...]

Emmaus truly serves the reader [...]

And anger [...]

I Am Grinding this Axe as Gently as Possible.

Something you need to know, if we are to get to know one another, is that I have many issues with the current and established Evangelical church. A few other things that should be brought to light; I am only 24 so most of what I say is probably still filled with a childhood of [...]

Hope Springs Eternal

 
Have you ever sat awake in the dark, lying in your comfortable bed and been on the verge of tears because in your heart you questioned the existence of God? Hoping with all your strength that the prayers you send heaven-side are actually reaching out to a beautiful and loving God, who delights in hearing [...]

Confession II

Part 2:

Surprised by Grace

I must admit that I am not a man who is filled with faith, done great works of mercy; rather I am a man who looks to serve his own ends, defy the God who loves me, and gain all that I can in my struggle of life. I am not a [...]
