When the heart wants to go one way
and God wants me to go the other… “God…you know how my heart feel(think?). What you are showing me right now is a path where I don’t really want to go. It feels like a struggle. You know the burden that I have. But I know you are a good God. For you have provided […]

Racing and Christian Living
It is hard for me to describe the connection between racing and being a Christian. Found this from Eric Liddell…. “I want to compare faith to running in a race. It’s hard.

Ingredients for a good conversation
I am meeting with a prof from Mac Div tomorrow for coffee. I never sat down with a prof off hours and chat. Today I made up a few questions to ask. Not really questions but thoughts that have been going off my mind. There is nothing like picking brains from those smarter than you […]
Book reflection: Irresistible Revolution
I first heard of Shane Claiborne a few months ago from a friend. As always, I did a look up on the internet. I saw a video of him on youtube. His message struck a cord. He also wrote a book called The Irresistible Revolution. I borrowed it from a friend and finished it in […]
