disciple in the making
From the yearly archives:
Let’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 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 all that, [...]

Dear 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 son out. [...]

I 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).

I 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.
