the seventh letter: Powwow →
garnetkim:
A number of people have posted Jefferson Bethke’s spoken word video. And for some reason, even though I didn’t personally post it, this morning I received four messages containing links to Kevin DeYoung’s recent response to the video.
I don’t think you can critique Bethke’s performance for its…

deathtaxes:
I’m willing to go out on a limb here and guess that most stories of kindness do not begin with drug addicted celebrity bad boys.
Mine does.
His name is Robert Downey Jr.
You’ve probably heard of him. You may or may not be a fan, but I am, and I was in the early 90’s when this story takes place.

up and up
If I were to stop and sort of zoom out from my life, in an attempt to get the whole picture, I would see that in recent months, my life has changed a lot. And for the better. My relationships have been getting healthier, I have a good job, some money in the bank, food in my tummy, and people that love me. And I should be feeling good, right?
Yet I’m still not “happy”. I still...

Work was utterly exhausting today. Towards the end of it, I felt physically sick, a sort of pain in the pit of my stomach from my knowing that though I got a lot done, I have so much more to do. Unending mountains of work, with even more tomorrow.
But I admit, I kind of like situations that hurt. Situations that test and stretch me to my breaking point, physically and mentally. Because I know...

I complain a lot to God.
God, why am I going through the crap I’m going through? Why do I have to feel this way about this person? Why are you hitting me with rejection day after freaking day? Why can’t you just free me from all of this magically? Why is it so easy for me to be so cold, so caustic to those around me? Why must I go through trial after trial, going through instances I...

on that contemplative tip
My future.
Some days it’s barely something to muse about, a fleeting thought amongst many others. Other days it’s a whirlwind, a surge of thoughts inside my head that hinders my ability to think cognitively or work efficiently. Relationships, work, money, the possibility of school, all dancing around my head in a Bolshoi-esque fashion.
My whole life, though I’ve surrounded...
