Oh Sunday, you always convict me.

Some people would think that a person who works at a church would have it all together, or at least be half way decent.

I am listening to my pastor just rip me unknowingly. Specks in eyes and secret thoughts in the heart. All the truth that makes me want to just vomit it all out.

If I actually acted on the things in my head, most of you would probably unfriend me on facebook. How often am I processing my thoughts through Jesus? I find myself trying to sneak around him. Knowing what he thinks. Then walking around that corner where i think he will not be. But he is.

I do not want to be an abuser of grace. I want grace. I need it, but I will not abuse it.

Greatfully, I never act out of my thoughts. My conviction is strong. And God's grace is stronger.

Back to the message, Pastor Matt drops the amazingly easy solution to our issues...

Read Gods word.

"already you are clean because the word that i have spoken to you" JOHN 15.5

If you have read this, please own that.

As of November 1st not only have I begun to committ to the #novemberblogfest, i have also begun a manly journey. A journey that may seem impossible to some. A journey unattainable by others. But for me, I am going to climb the mountain that is...The Beard of The Winters! From the first if November to the darkest nights of February, I vow to grow the most manliest of facial adornment i have ever attempted.

I can never make it passed the first month and a half, but this year seems right.

So support me friends. I am five days in. The Beard of The Winters is upon us (or me).

Tonight me and Asher played "Batman's House", which is when I get to have some good quality time with my son. We play in his Batcave where Batman hosts partys and serves tacos to his buddys. Sometimes Mr.Freeze shows up with the Riddler and they crash the party. It is good times.

 Asher always has all the superheroes announce who they are to each other.

"HI SUPARMAN! I'M BATMAAAN!"

"I AM ROBIN. I'MA GET PENGUIN!"

"FLASH FAST. PESHHHUUUW!"

Everybody has the same deep voice in Asher's world. And the desire to be known apparently.

These are the favorite parts of my days. 

I will really miss this as he grows older. 

11.02.2011.obstacle.

Day two of this #novemberblogfest has found me less than an hour to go and not an idea to move on.

Already the obstacles have been thrust in front of me and I can not think of which one to tackle first.
I still have a side project that needs attention and the heaviest eyes I have felt in awhile.
But this would keep me up all night if I did not post.
So I will describe my environment as much as possible. An open macbook and macbook pro staring at me as I stare back at them. Watchmen on the TV to keep me awake and my phone near by to wake me up if I fall asleep.

Completely unhealthy, I know. But one thing I am hoping to gain from this blogging exercise is a new found discipline that I need to get back.
So those that are apart of this, I ask for encouragement and kind words.
All of my spaces between thought may bug you, but that is all I have tonight is thoughts.

Peace of Jesus to you my friends.

Wow.

I almost missed this. I wanted to start blogging again, but I have not been motivated. My friend Andrew invited me to be apart of the #novemberblogfest, so I felt obligated to participate.

I hate feeling obligated, maybe recruited is a better term. Recruited to fight the lull that I feel in ny life.

I hope that by doing this it will motivate me in some other areas. I really want to get in better shape, read more, do more creative projects outside of work and maybe write some music. I am sad that i was not able to do a little sketch here for my first post, but i literally typing on my phone while lying in bed.

I am just dead tired from the weekend and feel exhausted. I can hear Breakfast at Tiffanys on the TV in the living room and my son opening up DVD cases. Curious as to what is going on in my wife and son's minds.

My mind is overloaded with work things, Puss in Boots, houses, counseling sessions and if my copy of Aquaman #2 will be in at comic book store tomorrow.

All of these things have varying levels of importance, but are swishing around for focus in my head. I am going to read some scripture and call it a night.

I attatched a pic from Trunk N Treat last night. Batman, Robin and The Riddler.
