Inspiration isn't a strong enough word.

Check this out. This song has rocked my world for 2 months now. It is a poetic and beautiful song that seriously disturbed me.

It's a strong reminder of what life can look like if we realize that God Loves Us. I know you've heard that before, but if you really believe that God Loves You, your heart is transformed.

I live differently when I am reminded that God Loves Me.

• I don't have time to maintain regrets
• God is jealous for me
• My heart turns violently inside of my chest when I encounter God's grace

Ok. Enough of my words. Check out this video. Turn up the audio. Listen to the back story. Then listen to the song.



Then remember how much God loves you. And "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

Flight of the Navigator

Ok 2 posts in one day - I must be back.

This summer, I went to my parents house in some special transportation. It's usually a 2 hour drive that is somewhat painful with starts and stops, backroads and red lights.

But a good friend - J the dizzle Conn offered a ride in his plane. He'd been offering all summer, and I finally took him up on it. literally.

It was a quick 30 minute flight to the small airport that is 6 minutes from my parents home. Don't believe me? Here are some pics to prove it.

Breaking the Silence

Ok - so here it is, I am no longer silent on my blog. I am now out and in the open with my words and thoughts, after a 2 month hiatus. I've thought about this silence for a bit recently, and there are lots of excuses that I could present to anyone who reads (if you still read after 2 months of no posts). Some of the potential winners were;

• I was fasting from blogging (that would have been a blasphemous lie!)
• I was redirecting my creative energies (that's just a lazy lie!)
• I was protesting the public declaration of my life and thoughts (that would go against everything that I believe in)
• I was being the un-staff member and doing what everyone else isn't (that is simply a lam-o excuse)

But after further review, I guess I've been busy. And maybe I was blogging for some potentially wrong reasons - self-promotion, stat counting and because I liked to read my own stuff in print. Or maybe, I've been selfish, reading everyone else's blog and not contributing my thoughts, life and ideas to the blogosphere.

These are much more accurate. Funny how my first post is a confession of sorts. Hopefully I'll do this with more regularity. Post that is, not confess as to why I've been silent for a bit.
