Welcome!
You've found my blog! You'll find here the general ramblings of a person who is trying to run after God with everything that I am. I don't want to live the life of a "churched" Christian, but I want to live the life that Christ Himself exemplified. I fail miserably and often, but I know that He loves me no matter what. For the grace that He shows me on an hourly basis, I owe my life.

Words To Live By
"You couldn’t find a worse recipe for human happiness than worrying about yourself first. Basically, a better path to life, a better path to contentment, a better path to being a citizen is to think about others first."
Dick Meyer
"I firmly believe that the splendor of a human heart that trusts it is unconditionally loved gives God more pleasure and causes Him more delight than the most magnificent cathedral ever erected or the most thunderous organ ever played."
Brennan Manning
"Some people think they can imagine a creature which was free but had no possibility of going wrong; I cannot. If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata--of creatures that worked like machines--would hardly be worth creating. The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free."
C.S. Lewis
"He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about religion. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing."
C.S. Lewis
"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where 'I' does not exist, nor 'you', so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep."
Pablo Neruda
