I am young. The older I get, the more I feel that life loses its universal meaning. When I was younger, I felt that my life would make sense universally- that the thoughts that I had, and the picture of life that I held, would be understood by everyone around me. In many ways it was; the experiences that I had- first dates, education paths, moral choices- were easy to grasp by people ...Continue Reading

So I’m at work, and my boss “calls” me on something entirely ludicrous – blaming me for something way beyond my control, implying that I should have had access to his thoughts, emails I wasn’t copied on, prior knowledge of the contradictory preferences and demands of people I’ve never met, exact pricing data of industries and products I’ve never heard ...Continue Reading

I have this idea that there is a certain vocation out there for me that I need to be doing in order to be fulfilled. The idea is that there is a particular way that I’m created and a particular purpose for my life that needs to be actuated through a particular line of employment. And that to not do that line of employment is to somehow lead a half-lived life. Or in Christianese, to not ...Continue Reading

Modernity and progress are extolled regularly in our culture. Technological progress has brought us a variety of wonderful gadgets and quality of life improvements. But I’ve come to view most of this progress as a means that pushes people further apart – physically, communally, socially and spiritually. We have cell phones and cars….which are great….but the cell phone ...Continue Reading

Perhaps it’s a Easter season rebirth or perhaps it’s the transitions I’m facing. Whatever the cause, I’m experiencing a renewed vigor in my spiritual life. I want to read the Bible more, not out of a sense of obligation, but out of a desire. I want to pray more as well. But prayer lately has been hard to pin down. Perhaps that’s okay, but I wanted to run my ...Continue Reading

shine make ´em wonder what you´ve got make ´em wish that they were not on the outside looking bored When people outside the church look at me, what do they see? It’s a question as old as youth groups, but I’ve always hated it. To me it seems like a salesman approach to evangelism. The gospel is much more than a used car and we as Christians should be much ...Continue Reading

I’ve recently had two encounters with homeless men that have left me wishing I had done better. On my walk home from work recently, I crossed paths with a very friendly gray haired homeless man. We negotiated past each other, but then he politely asked whether I had any money he might use to get something to eat. My first impulse was to say, “No, sorry.” and move on. But then ...Continue Reading

I often live with a basic assumption that I could do better. Be a better friend, set a better example for my co-workers, drive with a better attitude, even complete a better house repair (OK…that one is almost always true). And…I’m right; I do not do always do what I ought. I live under judgment (often of my own making), and I’ve noticed I ...Continue Reading

I’ve picked kind of an odd Lenten discipline this year. The easiest way I can think to describe it is that this year, for Lent, I’ve given up being efficient. Sort of. In my attempts to find balance between all my responsibilities and obligations, I’ve been trying to get a lot done in a little amount of time. This means working over lunches and sometimes on Sundays, thus ...Continue Reading

Last year for Lent, I didn’t give anything up. I didn’t feel like it. Life was hard. I felt like I was already giving up enough. I just didn’t want to give up something else. Plus, I’m realizing looking back on it now, I was operating in this attitude of making sacrifices so Christ would show up. If I do this, then Jesus will do that. I have since been advised that ...Continue Reading
