I love the tag-line for Wrecked.org, “when life as you know it doesn’t work anymore.” Aren’t we all a little wrecked? Disillusioned? A wee bit uncomfortable in the way this divine mystery unfolds? The winds howl, the assault continues on an unfortified people, folks are lost and lonely…and sometimes the truth of a loving God...
Read More →Images stay clear of a time I danced on the banks of a man-made lake in Phuket, Thailand under the same stars and God as King David danced and I jumped and spun like a free man. The night was too warm to be fully clothed. There was darkness and it’s only opposition my body...

Read More →Oblivion, noun: 1. the state of being unaware or unconscious of what is happening. 2. the state of being forgotten I’ve driven lots of miles lately.
