“Its Been a While since I could……..Blog”

Alas back to summer, the Burgh, photography, baseball, frisbee, relaxation, working a real job, the college group back home, reading, quiet, thinking about life, direction, ministry, family, church, Jesus, etc, etc, etc….and hence, the blog! It’s good to be back.

So over the past year I’ve accumulated quite the collection of books without really reading any of them. Here’s the current lineup over the next few months.

1)The Four Loves--------------C.S. Lewis

2) Blue Like Jazz----------------Don Miller

3) The Grand Weaver-----------Ravi Zacharias

4) Jesus Among Other Gods---Ravi

5) Mere Christianity-------------C.S.

6) The Screwtape Letters--------C.S.

So yeah, not the broadest scope of authors, but I’ve really been meaning to dive into what these giants have written. So hopefully more on these in the weeks to come.

But yeah- I’m back in Pgh, so call me up

Follow up

So the last blog was a bit intense to say the least. But i figured I'd follow it up.

I'm not sure if spiritual warfare wasn't in my life before this last year or so, but I really have come to be more aware of it in the last few months. Never before has it seemed to be at the magnitude of life and death, but I recently was talking with a campus minister, Isaac, who showed me that the spiritual warfare we find ourselves in has ALWAYS been and always will be a matter between life and death. Its just at this point that I have become more aware of it.

Kinda makes ya a little uneasy doesn't it? Like a veil being lifted over your eyes.

But God continues to carry us through! It is rough at times. And our anger is justified before God- because He's angry with it too. In fact, I'm pretty sure he loves it when we work through our struggles with him, when we mourn the evil of this world, when we wrestle through it with him, when we lay it down at his feet, when we allow him heal the pain. Yeah- I'm pretty sure that brings a smile to his face.
