Random Thoughts.

So this post will seem as if I’ve run out ideas or that I’m too lazy to write an actual post. On the contrary, I actually saw this on a pastor’s blog a few months ago and have been collecting thoughts about everything and nothing since. I want to share some with you. Without furtherContinue reading “Random Thoughts.”

My Lack of Faith

“Why haven’t you invited me to church?” she asked, looking me straight in the eyes. I wasn’t sure what caught me more off guard: the fact she’d been so straightforward in her inquiry or the fact that this was actually the second time in a month someone asked me this exact question.

Somewhere between the BART station and the restaurant it occurred to me IContinue reading “The Rung in the Wall, Part II: Hanging with Friends”
