Do you have to be corrupt to get into politics? Or, does politics corrupt you? Do you ever have a day where you wish you could reboot it like a faulty computer? Anybody wake up in the morning with a song stuck in their head? I do, and its usually a song I don't like. What does the M in MTV stand for nowadays? It's a good day when you realize something you said or did makes another person's day. I want to have such a faith that it just invites attacks from the enemy. Do you hear the cry of the unreached? You can find God in lots of places. You just have to pay attention and you will see. Matthew 6:33-34 "But seek...

The brave knight defeated the evil (insert term here dragon, king, ogre, etc..) and rescued the fair maiden. He then married the beautiful princess and lived happily ever after. Isn't this how we imagine marriage to be? (The last part.. maybe not slaying a dragon). That once we marry, that the hard work reaching that point is over and we live our marriage problem-free and perfect. We may say we don't believe that, but I am sure there are times we do think about it. We hope we wont have fights, struggles, or any bad times. The reality is far from perfect and that marriage does take work even after the wedding ceremony. Marriage is also a huge blessing as well and worth fighting for. I have been married over six years and we definitely have our ups and downs. We struggle, we argue, and we don't see eye to eye on everything. I have my way of doing things and so does she and sometimes we clash. There are things we do that irritate the other (some we do purposely). We have our...

As I was walking around the campus of Ohio State the other day, it brought up a memory from when I committed my life to Christ. It was the day after I had prayed for Jesus to be lord of my life. I was walking down High Street and I had a taste for chicken, so I stopped at the local 3 in 1 (Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell). I remember ordering some kind of chicken meal and departed. As I was making my way home, a homeless man asked me for help as he was very hungry. I gave him a couple of dollars and went on my way. When I got back to my dorm, I felt guilty because I had given him money rather than the food I had purchased as he was hungry. Let's just say it wasn't the best dinner I ever had. For years, whenever I would pass that way I would remember that incident. I'd feel a little bit of guilt, or maybe wonder whatever happened to that homeless man that evening. Now, I am good at wallowing around in my guilt, but this is not that story. This is not about missed opportuniti...

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" Psalm 34:18 Have you ever been so angry with God that you didn't even realize you were angry at Him? Have you suppressed grief so strongly that you were unaware of it? Some background information before I relate this tale. For years, my wife and I have been going through the international adoption process. The process has been a long and frustrating one and is seemingly going to end without us adopting. It has been more of an open struggle for my wife to deal with. She wants to be a mother and this up and down process has taken its toll. I, on the other hand, feel that God is in control. If it is meant to happen, then it will happen. I have been looking at it from a logical point of view. Things will happen if they are supposed to. Little did I know, buried deep under the surface that grief and anger were boiling. I had buried it so far deep that I was not aware of its existence. That...
