My blog is dedicated to the turning point in the Parable of the Lost Son, "when he came to his senses..." (Luke 15:17). For me, pursuing passion is a journey of coming to my senses...of me "waking up and smelling the coffee."
This blog is an incomplete chronicle of that journey. Here are my thoughts on life, simplicity, personal productivity, the Kingdom of God, and...coffee.
I've been wanting to post about my thoughts on Hurricane Katrina. But David Bivin did it much more eloquently than I would have. Read his post here and hear me say "ditto."
