Keep Dreaming

Many of us have the day off school or work today because one man had a dream.  His dream was a biggie, one that seemed impossible to many at the time and some argue still hasn’t fully come true.

Do you still dream? I have some and I’ve given up on others.  Why don’t we dream more? I think it has a lot to do with fear.  The problem with having dreams is that you might not live to see them come true.  It’s a lot like having expectations, the minute we place expectations on someone or something we run the risk of being let down. Logic would tell us then not to have expectations or dream because by doing so we save ourselves a world of hurt. But thankfully there are men like Mr. King to remind us that logic is sometimes flat wrong.

Despite the hurt that may come I for one am going to keep dreaming.

“A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” Oscar Wilde

Christmas

Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save,
nor his ear too dull to hear. Isaiah 59:1

This is my verse for Christmas 2010.  While most sermons/talks this month focus appropriately on the Gospel accounts of Jesus birth, this verse is the one that keeps crossing my path. Isaiah offers hope to each of us wh0 find God’s arms to be a bit too short, His ears hard of hearing.

Christmas is a wonderful time of year an annual reminder of light entering a dark world, of truth being born to silence lies. However most of us fail to acknowledge the significance of Christmas because we don’t slow down enough to consider the darkness and lies that we need rescue from.  In my view Christmas was not a one time event of Jesus coming but rather the beginning of Jesus continually coming. 2010 years have passed since Jesus was born in a manger do you believe the world to be lighter or darker? Do we find more truth in our world or deception? I’m not sure where you find yourself, your family this Christmas…but I encourage you to consider your position as one STILL needing rescue.  The Savior is searching for a place to be born this Christmas…most hearts like the Inn that first Christmas are too crowded to host the birth of Jesus.

May you be reminded and given Hope that Jesus is more than able to rescue you. We are never outside of His reach, His ability to save us.  If you have breath in those lungs this Christmas than there is still hope.

2010

At this the dawn of a new decade, a new year there are opportunities that await, new relationships to be formed and many choices to be made.  Each December I take some time to think through the goals I had set at the beginning of the year and craft some new ones for the year to come.  2009 was a rough year…easily the fastest year of my life.  That being said I have to be honest and say I did not do very well at achieving many of my 09′ goals. Two stand out that I am particularly proud of; I performed my first wedding on August 1st and secondly November 8th marked 5 years that I have worked at Sunset. Both seem so crazy to me and yet in 09′ they became reality.

I will now share with you my goals for 2010…not the specifics but the general stuff I am striving for.

In 2010 and beyond I am striving to be a man known for his;

  • Kindness
  • Joy
  • Health
  • Purity
  • Strengths

Now you might look at that list and think; ” those are the last words I would use to describe you!” and I say exactly!…that is precisely why I chose to work on those areas ;)

Happy New Years all of you faithful and what the heck, non-faithful readers of my blog. Here’s to a great year.

3 Things

A rare thing I know…but I am stealing an idea from Ty over at manofdepravity.com and am going to post 3 things I am thankful for this Thankgiving weekend.  While I could come up with a much longer list I decided to narrow it down to three that come to mind today. So don’t see these as necessarily what I am MOST thankful for…just what I came up with in this moment.

  1. My health. As the old saying goes; “you don.t know what you have until you lose it…” perhaps the only benefit to having Crohns has been a greater appreciation for my health.  Yes there are good and bad days still…but the good days are much brighter having compared them with darker ones.
  2. My apartment. Though you’ve definitely heard me gripe about living in an apartment, the fact of the matter is living there four years has made it feel like home.  2009 brought alot of nice additions to my place including; a new recliner couch, grill & LCD TV.
  3. My friends. Living so far away from my family isn’t easy and though friends can never replace family many certainly have become like-family to me.  Another crazy part of my five year journey has been the amount of friends I’ve made that have moved away.  I m thankful for new ones and ones that live close by.

So what are three things that YOU are thankful for?
