Days off are a little horrible. Just a little. I’ll often have a plan: go to coffee shop, edit writing, buy face wash from Trader Joe’s. And then I’ll sit down and the only thing I want to do is watch a movie which I don’t really want to do. What I really want to […]
all together, once again…
sometimes…ok, who am i kidding…OFTENtimes it’s really nice to sing together, to join in with hundreds of others who not only know the words and the notes but are singing from an experience with Jesus. last sunday we unintentionally visited the All Souls Church in London. our initial intention was to be audience members in a radio […]
music
she is, for me, a strange friend. quite frankly, i don’t know what to do with her. Justin and i had a really honest talk the other day about music. i realized just how a part of me she really is. i cried at the thought of losing her, of giving up on her. i also realized […]
Space
Today I wrote a song. I sat long enough, after wearing out my arms in a new workout, to record some words to some tune that I don’t even remember. And that’s ok. Because I sat. Long enough. That’s what matters most, even more than the song. I made space. When’s the last time you […]

thanks man?
as i sauntered home, critiquing the song just sung and remembering my desire to keep raising the bar for myself, i started talking to God and the words “thanks man” came to mind.but just as quickly came the thought, “what?! God’s not one of my boys!” my justin blogged the other day (or week, or […]
after this
i’m in the midst of a class that’s forcing me to wonder about my place in the worship-music world. i want to do music. i want to worship. but i don’t want to do worship music all the time. it’s not because i don’t enjoy worship. it’s just hard for me to know how i […]
…i messed up
it has been a couple months since my resolve: to tell people that i’m not sure what i’m doing post MDiv, that i don’t know where God’s leading, but i know it’s something beyond what i can imagine. well, just yesterday i forgot that resolve. let’s be real. when a potential future employer says “so […]
