Holga, I Did Not Take; In Between the Hot Springs and the Ocean
There is a spot in the provence of Palawan (Philippines) where the hot springs meet the ocean. I have never been to the Philippines, but this print felt familiar to me. I think I am on the cusp of something in my work. I am an entrepreneur. I wear many hats. I love my job […]

I Heart PiHop
Ahhh, I love PiHop, Pasadena’s little prayer nook. What a beautiful community they’ve nurtured there. I would like to spend more time at PiHop in 2010. They just launched their nice new website and blog, check it out. I just read the first blog post about Jim Goll’s prophetic word to PiHop: “Help dig the […]

We Sing the Body Electric
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kSm-rGvcls] It is a rare and wonderful thing when you go to see a headlining band (the young Scottish boys of We Were Promised Jetpacks) only to be surprised and wowed by their opener. This happened to me Friday night at The Troubadour as The Lonely Forest took the stage. I could only find an acoustic […]

Welcoming Lent; or, Being Grateful for 40 Days of Clean Water
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHPDFvn2ztg] Starting tomorrow, I am going to begin this 40 Days of Water thing (not a water fast, but a just-drink-H20 thing) to benefit Blood:Water Mission in Uganda. It is a really sweet thing. I think it makes Jesus happy being that Lent is such a season of preparation and cleansing and such. I, for […]

It is Super Bowl Sunday, the Giants aren’t on, so I’m changing the subject. I found some Post-Secrets today that were interesting. I will write more real things soon. Stick with me.

Notes to Self, From Prague
Just gathering my thoughts. I realize it has been awhile. (Mac users, you should try this note-taking app out. It is free for 30 days to try.) Heading out now to Cafe Louvre with my moleskine(s).

Istanbul, by way of Genova
I may have my roots set deep in southern Italy, but it makes me happy to see old Genovese footprints in part of this ancient city. (Did you know that Istanbul is one of my favorites?) This photo (that I did not take) is from Beyoğlu, an area on the European side of Istanbul. In […]

Genesis and Gilead
I’ve just finished reading through Genesis. Though there is much I could say, right now I’m most struck by this place called Gilead, just east of the Jordan river. My commentaries tell me that Gilead was once famous for its healing balm that came from the storax tree. I can’t stop thinking about the weighty […]
