Guys are definitely not girls

by Alex Tran on December 1, 2008 · 2 comments

TweetLet’s talk about relationships . . . of the dating variety. I’m probably way behind the curve on this one, but guys really do think, act and operate differently than women.  Each has basic needs which are on complete opposite ends of the spectrum from each other. How about an example? I’m in a large [...]

The marriage of chaos and peace

by Alex Tran on November 23, 2008 · 2 comments

TweetI dropped the F-bomb last week.  While spending time with God no less. It was the culmination of a lot of things.  Feeling the burden of sharing a message with College Life.  Having a wound stay open and unhealed because of obedience to God.  Insecurity.  Doubt.  Realizing you don’t have it all together. But despite [...]

How often is God around?

by Alex Tran on November 7, 2008 · 0 comments

TweetJob 9:11 (NIV) 11 When he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him. God is constantly passing and going by us.  He is always around despite what our perception may be. Tweet

TweetJob 9:5-9 (NIV) 5 He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger. 6 He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. 7 He speaks to the sun and it does not shine; he seals off the light of the stars. 8 He alone stretches out the [...]

Asking for Wisdom: Remedial Edition

by Alex Tran on October 25, 2008 · 0 comments

TweetDear Alex, It’s not that complicated.  Sometimes I wish I could take that brain of yours and drop kick it a couple blocks. I almost did it once. Once in awhile I let myself think that’ll actually knock some sense into you. You’re lucky I’m a patient God. Anyway, let me try to help a [...]

How to Fail Asking for Wisdom 101

by Alex Tran on October 25, 2008 · 2 comments

TweetI got my report card today.  I flunked.  Pretty badly. James says if you need wisdom, ask for it (James 1:5).  He also says not to doubt you’ll receive it when you ask for it (James 1:6). The visual he uses of a person doubting works pretty darn well in my case.  Like a wave [...]

Your Hands or God’s?

by Alex Tran on October 7, 2008 · 0 comments

TweetI read in Ecclesiastes 4 this morning.  Up until this point in the book, King Solomon has gone through a list of things that are “meaningless” to him.  It’s a pretty interesting list including: everything (yes, he says everything), wisdom, pleasures, folly, toil, oppression and even friendliness. You’ll notice that even things we would consider [...]
