I am. At least, I try to be.
This blog has long been overdue for a facelift (well, more like a severe facial reconstruction surgery). I’ve updated the theme and fixed things up a bit today. I’m sure no one besides me cares, but it was too painful for me to look at any longer, so I sat down today and polished things […]
Tonight I am heading into the woods for 3 weeks with no electricity or running water in the mountains of Idaho. I want to outline a few of my hopes and expectations going in, so that when I post my journal entries afterwards I can compare to see if things went as I hoped and […]
So, the other day I was browsing through my bookshelf looking for an empty binder, when I happened across a dusty old black hardback notebook. Immediately, I recognized it as the book in which I wrote some essays and short stories during my stay in Idaho for Hill Abbey almost 3 years ago now. I […]
I think that I’ve been letting noise slowly build up in my heart. I’ve discovered that if I’m not proactive in my spiritual life, things stop happening. If I’m not constantly de-toxing from all the noise and stuff that happens around me on a day to day basis, I start internalizing all that noise. And […]
This summer, I am going to be living in the north end of Hartford CT. This is the capitol of Connecticut. It is ranked 19th worst city in the US in terms of crime, and it is the second poorest city in the US. The north end is the worst section of the city. This […]

I’ve been traveling with my family since the 17th through the Northwest. We’re currently at Old Faithful Lodge in Yellowstone. We’ll be traveling until Saturday, so that’s why I haven’t been posting… I was home for a few days rushing around saying hi to people and then I up and left for Cali. So I […]
Alright kids, I’m back from my 3 days of hermitude. I went up to Moscow mountain to a cabin Friday afternoon and came back today (Monday). So I had about three days of solitude. I’ve never been devoid of all human contact for so long… and I don’t know many people who have been so […]
I am very much interested in continuing the debate, but I’m going to put it on hold this week, because my copy of Rob Bell has been lent out to people last week and will be this week, and I need to quote him, but I need the book in order to do that. So […]
