Not knowing how you feel...isn't the same as not feeling anything.JThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14595509531473775273noreply@blogger.comBlogger71100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348592963019312859.post-3131627347367428032011-02-16T19:34:00.001-08:002011-02-16T21:49:04.626-08:00

This week i have had more than a few conversations that have stoked a fire within me to engage. I've been wanting to write for several months and have been trying to determine what purpose I want to use this blog for. For now i've decided I don't have a specific purpose so it's time to unload.Monday was Valentine's Day. In years past, it was a day I never missed blogging. My Valentine's Day

I love the outdoors.  You wouldn't guess this about me if you knew about my multiple visits to the theater in a given month or if you've seen my collection of dvd's, both of which imply I like to sit in a dark room for hours on end.  Also, my mountain bike is covered with pollen and dust from sitting unused and my hiking boots normally sit in a closet for 360-some days out of the year.  I guess

Looking at the calendar I've noticed the summer has flown by, yet in my mind, it was creeping along at a much slower pace. I spent a great amount of the summer working (which was unusual), traveling, and being able to minister in music at a few churches, and of course I made it to my share of theaters to check out the newest crop of summer movies. In the midst of all of this, I spent a great

I don't believe that I have ever experienced such a roller coaster of emotions as I did in the week that has just concluded. It's been a week full of hurt and hope, disappointment and decision-making, of questioning and prioritizing my beliefs and the way I live. The weird thing is some of this had nothing to do with Mexico. I left here with no expectation, except that I wanted to help someone. I

This summer while I was browsing the video aisles at Hollywood Video (what a shocker, right?), a movie entitled "Everything is Illuminated" caught my eye.A young Jewish American flies to the Ukraine in search of a woman who helped his grandfather escape Europe during World War II; he has a photograph and the name of a village. He hires the Odessa Heritage Tours, made up of a gruff old man and his

Year in Review 2006I've seen many surveys/lists recently reviewing the year 2006 and after downloading my latest "batch" of pictures I decided on a year of photos.Okay, so I haven't quite figured out this blogspot thing yet...but it seems I can't tell a story with a bunch of pictures. Hopefully when I have less pictures to show I can do what it is I wanted to do. Enjoy these and Happy New Year

My first glimpse of writing on this new site will start with a little background. I decided to switch from Xanga (a true blog site) to Myspace at the insistence of several of my friends. In the beginning I was very skeptical and found that just like most other means of communication (transistor radios, pagers, cell phones) communicating with my friends via myspace would soon come to a close. It
