Quick! Do something manly!



I hope you all enjoy this movie I made on outreach in Guatemala. I think it's pretty funny.

home and alone

"It's been a while. . ." since I last posted on this blog. But I have determined again to renew my interest in this site. A lengthy update about the Guatemala trip is still to come, never fear; but for now I think it will suffice to say that the trip was great and now I am home.

Yes, DTS is over. And here I am back home, in Ohio, looking for a job and sorting out what's to come next. But mainly, my focus is on my relationship with Christ. Jobs are a little important, you know, making money and the like, but to me it's important because it's what God told me to do next: find a job. Then after that? I don't know. and I may not get to know for some time.

That's OK. Because I can trust the character of God that no matter what I am going through, He is here with me. So even though I may feel terribly alone (which I do feel sometimes, depending on the hour) I am encouraged even by these long-ago written words on this page:

"but as for me, the nearness of God is my good."

Without Christ, I am nothing. Without His presence, my life is meaningless. Without His Holy Spirit, I am useless.

And so I resolve to do nothing of my own power, nothing of my own ambition, nothing to further my name. . . but to do everything He asks me to do with all that I have within me. What does this look like? Stay tuned. . .
