I’m definitely an INFP

Introverted : iNtuitive : Feeling : Perceiving
As an INFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary [...]

Spiritually Full

I just got home.
I need to get up in 7 hours.
Then I’ll have to sit for 8 hours in a suburban, pulling a trailer.
All to go to the butt-crack of Texas.
But it’s my job, and I love it.
It is late, though.

But this is the best feeling.

Tonight, I experienced you again.
It never gets old.
The spirit of [...]

" Ira " – (My 100th Post)

I couldn’t have planned this out better.

The thing about allowing the Lord to take His place as your God is that you’ll just live the most messed up, crazy life. And you will be left each day feeling like you’ve actually lived.

The fact that this is the 100th post (that I’ve written, I’m pretty sure [...]

Crested Butte

I got to go with some friends to Crested Butte, Colorado from January 2nd to the 7th. It was awesome.

The snow was perfect, the condo was beautiful, the food was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the people I went with became close friends immediately. Oh yeah, and Bill Murray stayed at the [...]

Secret Place Day 3 – Back in Norman

It’s apparent to me that in one sense the ’secret place’ isn’t very ’secret’ when I keep talking about it… But I guess I’m just writing here about the things I feel some amount of energy to share.

Yesterday, on the way back to Norman, I listened to a Kris Vallatton sermon that really messed me [...]

Secret Place

I have so much energy to post this one, oh man. And this is gonna be long. Don’t feel bad if you can’t read it all, but know that you have to read it all to get it.

What I have to say about the secret place comes only from my experience right now. I’m about [...]

Thank You… (To My Spiritual Fathers)

Thanks Stephen. You’re always telling me I’m anointed and even though we are often sacrilegious and sarcastic when we joke around (maybe sacrilege is actually a good thing… future post?), I always end up in a good place, closer to the Lord than when I was prior to hanging out with you. You don’t have [...]

On Loss… (Written For A Close Friend)

… not that I really have anything to say.

First off, I want to assure you wise people out there that you are right – I have nothing to say that will prove to be profound about the subject of loss. However, as is the root of this post and my whole life – the Lord, [...]

22

A much more profound entry by the same title written by a close friend of mine can be viewed here.

I turned 22 yesterday, on 12.31.08.

It’s always interesting having a new years eve birthday, especially as I am seeing myself become more and more mystical about changes in seasons and the mile markers of life.

2 Samuel [...]
