still waiting

I have reached the point where I am tired of waiting.  It’s not that I am getting impatient, I just want to move.  I’m tired of giving the same answer to anyone who asks how the house is coming along… “still waiting.”  I’m tired of...

making a name

Working from my last post, I think I often times get caught up in feeling like an unknown.  I see people like John Saddington, Pete Wilson, Mark Batterson, and Carlos Whittaker.  They all seem to be somewhat well-known with thousands of followers and books and music...

failure to yield

I’ve had this idea running through my head all day.  Where have I failed to yield?  I’m not sure why, but I can’t ignore it.  I’ve written before about feeling stuck.  Being stuck is not only a tough feeling to get past, it’s also...

Elise and I are on the hunt for a house. After looking at a bunch of houses, we found one that fits us. We love the location and the property. So the next step was to make an offer. Now that we’ve done that, we are waiting. The property is bank owned, so there...

presuppositions

I realized yesterday that when a presupposition is assumed long enough, it becomes a perceived truth.  This perception can be so strong that decisions are made based on it and often times those decisions would be made differently if the truth was actually known. ...

stuck in a moment

Do you ever feel stuck?  You may not necessarily want to leave the place or position you are stuck in, but that feeling of not being able to change your status can bring on those claustrophobic feelings of being stuck. That’s me right now.  I love working at my...
