“Wicking” undies

So, after the realization yesterday that washing socks makes them smell much less and feel great, I wanted to share another recent clothing revelation. “Wicking” undies. That’s right, forget those cotton things you guys wear around.  These synthetic briefs, boxer-briefs, and boxers are the way to go.  No longer...

Examining life – selfish ambition and vein conceit

Philippians 2 – 1 If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and...

Birthday Toasting and Quarter-Life Crisis

My birthday was this week. As I embark on my quarter-life crisis, I realize again that I am profoundly blessed with amazing friends. I also realize that I do not express my esteem, love or respect to my friends as I should. So, I’m eating dinner this week with...

Friends are great

So, I came home yesterday (Sunday) after spending much of the day with a good friend, jsyn, to find something put together by a fantastic friend, Phil (even though there was no mention of his name on it). Basically, he had a concept from a project that I worked...

God glorified since college

I was asked to write briefly about how God is glorifying himself through my life and obedience since I have graduated from The University of Virginia.  This write comes on the heels of my UVa campus pastor asking me to share for a few minutes in front of Chi...

Winter Backpacking the AT

I have just returned from a 2 night backpacking trip along the Appalachian Trail in the Shenandoah National Park.  Tom, Chris, and I hiked 3 miles the first day, a little over 12 the second, and 9 miles the third.  Let me recap some of the highlights.

Doesn’t God deserve all credit?

I was driving around today and thought about how many things God has blessed me with.  I met with my advisor at work today, and he mentioned that one of the partners in the firm praised me in front of all the management regarding my performance.  I wasn’t entirely...

The Greatest Love

Excerpt from “When God Weeps” by Joni Eareckson Tada, p. 52-54. Also found in “Booy Meets Girl” by Joshua Harris. Understanding intellectually is completely different from feeling with the heart. So frequently, I understand and don’t feel. I proceed without passion and conviction. I wish this reality was real...

Provisions

So, life is pretty hectic around the Christmas holiday season.  I was in Atlanta for a week with short notice only to come back to work to prepare and support a go-live (so longer days at work).  Then on top of that is the looming task of writing Christmas...

Frustrations, Change, Radical

So, I just finished reading a chapter in “Velvet Elvis” by Rob Bell. And, well, I got excited, inspired, angry, upset, frustrated, confused, concerned, hurt, and thrilled. So, in case you don’t know, I’m not invincible, some super-person, or any sort of person that is really good at anything....

Passion only in Obedience

So, the past month has definitely been a time of learning and frustration – mostly frustration, but I am assuming there must have been some learning in there as well. I have been realizing (again) the simple fact that I simply do not really control my life. What I’m...

Jason Lund I could give you some succinct statement about who am I, but that would leave you with only a superficial take-away missing the entire reason for my existance.
