Never mind Bed and Bath...Welcome to Beyond

Taken during the first stages of the project, about a year ago. I assure you there is still no bed, but damnit, i got a bath.

licking the salt

This holiday i was blessed to reunite with some old friends. It was refreshing, and that is an understatement. Not to say that every relationship is perfect, every career a dream, every smile genuine, but these people were and are a gift. Some family and some friends, and all of them experiencing struggles. I hung out with people with more intellect, love, humility, encouragement, genorosity, ambition, and vision than one could imagine. I mean, these people are gifted. I love'em. And i can not understand it, (they, we, I) struggle so often. I am young, naive, and daily try and convince myself that i am an idealist, and that I have this big faith. Life should not be this difficult. We have got it, for the most part, too good. But I stare into sorrow filled eyes, listen to terrible news and weep to my redeemer repeatedly. And through all this I see so many reaching for a bit more faith, pleading for a better glimpse, and praying just a little harder.

My very first blog

Oh, the excitement. The pressure is immense and I feel compelled to write something important, serious, lasting. But you see, I have spent the last two hours figuring out how to download a free anti virus from Mcafee, using someone elses comcast connection and now it is late. The eyelids are reaching for each other as if they have not hugged in days. So this is it, my very first blog, oh so dim.
