Your only real responsibility is to be fully alive.

Often the world, with in we live, looks to the hard exterior we present so that the soft and delicate nature of who we are can go on without hurt or pain. We mask over our desires and passions because the crust we live under is so thick, the crust that we have let the world bake onto us. Within these pages realize that crust is removed, sometimes raw and painful as flesh meets light but all the while real with the grace of God.

You brought in thoughts of the world, too much to infer. Sitting dismayed, what you’ve become is nothing individual, only the shell of beauty once realized. The world has lost but rages onward, though the victory vanquished. Leaving the lost fighting for last place.

I am currently a small business owner/software engineer for a software development company (nineteen05their blog), holding a bachelors degree in Service Management for Non-Profit and an Art Minor from the University of Wisconsin, and attending Bethel Theological Seminary where I’m pursuing my Masters of Divinity with a concentration on Preaching and Communication. Our current path is to plant a church in France within the next 5-8 years (likely in paris) God willing.

This blog has been going for over 5 years and will continue to be a place for me to dwell upon and share personal thoughts and struggles. May I never believe myself complete.
