Was listening to “This American Life” and one of the guys being interviewed said: “I don’t see how God could exist it just seems too fantastic” That’s kinda were I’m at. (more…) Read more

[Photo by Richard Gatson] It’s exciting being “young” (I put that in quotations cause i’m 28) and adventuring through life… with so much ahead and so many things to look forward to, it’s a good kind of tension. But I’d rather not have this feeling when I’m 45, thats when it might become a depressing kind of tension. (more…) Read more
Someone asked me the other day what sucks the most about being 27 and living at home with your parents? I paused and thought… Then I b*tch slapped him and walked away. Pretty much what sucks the most about being 27 and living in your parents home, is being 27 and living in your parents home. Though things in recent days have been looking up… (more…) Read more
Some days I wake up and I’m like what the @#ck?! If someone told me that following Jesus could put me back home, waiting tables, and working retail in the mall, I would have laughed hysterically… Cause, becoming a disciple (following jesus) looks more like Indiana Jones, or Jack Bauer. Obviously. “I think many of us secretly expect missionaries to look like Indiana Jones: leather jackets, dusty fedoras and ragged pants, with maybe a pistol or at least a whip—and,... Read more
I recently heard, “Frustration is a spiritual gift…” In response to that, I must say, thank you God… for this gift. But I’ve been struggling more then I expected… again I want this blog to be as authentic and real as I can make it. I’ve been dealing struggling with doubt more then I care to admit. As many of you who have been following my journey, I’ve asked, struggled, and battled with doubt and unanswered questions. Though the main... Read more
“The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.” – Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time Read more
So I packed up, quit ma’ job, left the church, and moved cross country… But besides all that stuff life has been happening… ha. but seriously. I mean quitting, packing, moving, and the church is my past now, so weird. And its been tough to focus in on the future and what’s to come AND more importantly whats currently happening, rather then focusing in on my past and what brought me to where I’m at now (thought there will be...

Okay, so in the past two weeks the posts have been way too serious. So I thought I’d lighten the mood up a little bit with a funnier post… just some snippets about me. But I wanted to add in, my hope throughout the lifespan of this blog is that I can be as honest, authentic, and transparent about my life, struggles, joys, and heartbreaks as I possibly can. I must say transparency is not my forte, but I’m gonna... Read more
So it’s taken me so long to respond to my first post, because I haven’t quite figured out yet how to express in 500 words or less, why I decided to leave the church. Why I decided to no longer be a part of something that has played such an intricate roll in my life since childhood. Why I decided to walk away from something that was not only where I have found community and some of my best friends, but... Read more
So as you can see, I’ve transitioned my blog over to a new template, and went from tumblr to wordpress, and am kinda sorta switching directions with it… a lot is changing here on this blog, and honestly a lot has changed in my life in the recent months. After about 7 years of working in pastoral or church ministry I decided to step away from that career path, I moved from orange country, ca all the way across country... Read more
