Thoughts by a Tire Swing: In Summary and Sharing My Struggle

Hooray, I've finally reached the last of my several "thoughts by a tire swing." As I've said before, these are all topics that have been heavily on my heart since returning from the Exodus Conference in mid-July. Ear…
The Dreaded Conversation

Hope you all enjoyed the videos from my wicked-long drive to Exodus. I'll get to talking about the conference itself in a little bit. But I figured before I dive into that I should briefly go over how my talk with my bro…
40 Days of Purpose: Day 27

The last several days have been really interesting / eye-opening as far as this 40-day journey goes. Lately the subject of the book has shifted from praise and fellowship to struggle and temptation. The reason this is pa…
40 Days of Purpose: College-Ending Edition

Tomorrow I embark upon what I hope will be a cool, memorable journey. Six or seven years ago our (old) church went through "40 Days of Purpose" along with so many other churches at the time. It was a program that was bas…

8th Grade - A Tale of Two Years

I've been hovering around the 1999-2000 time frame of My Life since I arrived here at my Two Beckonings site several weeks ago. These couple years were definitely significant for me - emotionally, spiritually, the whole …
Undeserved Friendship

The first several days of the seventh grade at my new school in Georgia were pretty dreadful. I did all I could to contain myself while I was there; when I finally returned home I locked myself in my room and cried, wail…
Yearning for a Friend

I had a weird childhood. I really don't know how to fully explain it. But whenever I attempt to, I always trace it back to those homeschooling years. I was already so hardcore attached to my family, that being completely…
