Instructions Before Reading

I stand by the right to publish incomplete snippets. The point of this blog is to share life. If there is a unity in my life, it will become apparent what that unity is. No post is a complete thought, theology, worldview, or poem within itself, it must be taken within the context of the entirety of this blog, considerations of who I am in public as well as who I am in extreme situations like when I am forced to wake up at 4:30 in the morning to help my wife jump start her car in 20 degree weather.

I recognize my right as a flawed human being to do the following: 1) be wrong, 2) change my mind, 3) be inconsistent, 4) have improper grammar and spelling conventions. You are just as flawed, wrong, capricious, and prone to theological alteration as I am... so get over it.

The Things You Don't Regret A Month From Now

Today started at 4am, then 4:07am At 4:14am I stopped hitting snooze. My body hated me for being awake. Murray, my little pug, didn't even want to get out of bed yet.

Why did I not get to bed earlier last night?

Oh yea, friendships. Leo came over and we chatted, shared struggles, had a drink, laughed together, talked about Jesus. Courtney joined us, then Jordan. After a while Arlen came from accross the street. We sat on the porch till midnight, talking about faith and spontanious human combustion.

At one point Leonard said, "I better get to bed or I'm going to regret this in the morning." My reply was, "Yes, but will you regret it a month from now."

Sometimes what hurts a bit now, becomes a thing of beauty with time.
