why I haven’t been updating…

Well I figured it was time to move on to things other than Christmas posts. I’m not going to go into great detail as to why I’m not updating, I’ll just let the pictures do the talking. Actually, I’ll say that I’ll let the pictures do the talking, but I’ll also offer some commentary for [...]

merry christmas

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government shall be on his shoulders
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
-Isaiah 9:6

0.5 of the Luther guys 1.5 years later

Last night I was the highly anticipated Luther Street Pre-Christmas Wondergathering!
As you can see from the picture, not all of the Luther Boys were able to attend. Loag’s in France, JB’s in Jacksonville, T-bomb’s in Comanche, Kent’s married, D-diddly… not sure, and Mikey’s coming after Christmas. Still though, it was a very nice evening. We [...]

I can take a hint

I have no doubt that I could go ahead and leave this post a simply a picture (as I did when I redefined beauty), but I feel that both a bit of commentary and an inquiry are in order.
First I’d like to point out that both of the highest trafficked days for odfm were days [...]

Christmas Through Their Eyes: Joseph, husband of Mary, Christ’s mother

This has without a doubt been the craziest year of my life. Granted, I haven’t even been alive 20 years, but I seriously doubt any of my future years will outdo this one on the craziness scale.
Things a year ago looked so differently than they do today. Mary and I had just gotten engaged [...]

Christmas Through Their Eyes: Justus the Shepherd

Justus, the shepherd, to Joshua, my beloved uncle.
Go ahead and sit down. You’re not going to believe this.
Well it’s been two weeks now since the night everything changed. That’s what I’ve been calling it. I can’t think of a better way to describe it. I mean, that night… well, I guess everything didn’t change. I’m [...]

Christmas Through Their Eyes: Mattias the Innkeeper

As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, I’ve written a few narratives telling the Christmas story through the eyes of its characters. This is my first attempt at creative writing in a long time, so please, be gracious. That’s all.
I normally would not write a journal entry in the earliest of morning hours, but [...]

I’m moving… for real this time

As some of you know, I’ve been talking with the nice people at Another World is Possible in Philly over the past month about the possibility of my coming to do a four-month-long internship with them in January. It’s a marketing/public relations internship, so I figured I’d send them my resume and see what happened.
Well [...]

book review vol. fourteen: No Compromise

It’s been a long while since I last published a book review, and for good reason too: it’s been a long while since I last finished a book. That said, I give you a review for No Compromise: The Life Story of Keith Green.
As you may have ascertained from the book’s title, this is a [...]

it’s that time of year again

Update: This album is now available on iTunes. Click here.
You faithful readers who’ve been around over a year may recall having seen this picture on a previous post about a year ago. In it, I told you to go listen to Andrew Peterson’s Behold the Lamb of God album on his website. I have no [...]
