It's perfect.
It's unbelievable.
It's a miracle
It's a TV dinner.
It's Fuwjax.

Exit, Stage Left

Well done, good and faithful servant. Come and share your master's happiness.

What Does That Look Like?

For he who loves God without faith reflects upon himself. He who loves God in faith reflects upon God.

Fall in Love with Yourself

It doesn't matter who you are or they are, you can love anyone anywhere anytime. You can even love yourself.

Real Good Thing

Some days are worth celebrating because they aren't the day they were a year ago.

The Silent Dilemma

I asked of my mom, “Mom, what would you do? What would you do with a bug in your shoe?”

The Hunt

I do not want to capture; I have no desire to catch. It’s not because I’m bad at it; it’s because I don’t value those relationships.

Beautiful

Some beautiful things have happened to me the past few weeks, and it would be a shame to split the stories up.

Here

I'm proud to be an Aggie for the same reasons I'm proud to be a Texan and an American.

We use words like "art" without any idea of what we are really talking about.

Good Night

All too often we miss the transitions that should demand reflection.

So You're Retiring...

Goodbye, Little Girl

We've been together for so long, it's difficult to imagine a life without you.

Even In Riots

To my knowledge, Acts 19 is the only place in the Bible where a god is specifically named that doesn't result in a massacre one way or the other.

The Diet

I've created a new diet. Not "diet" in the sense of "gimmicky way to lose weight" but a full-on life changing process around eating.

The Fuwjin Suite v0.9.6 is released to Maven Central. Some fun new features in there.

Token Acts of Service

Every time I've ever heard someone preach on John 13, they've said it was about serving each other.

The Rest of the Song

We spend all week chasing what we want; why does the time we set aside to recenter on what is truly important wind up being about what we want too.

Before Your Graduation

An end to a time is a time for reflection. A new beginning is time for anticipation. Graduation is both.

I’m in love.

2008

Cribs - By Request

Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you stuff that makes you more eccentric than the guy living next door.

A stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, it is the power and wisdom of God.
