Current.

For all of my "faithful" subscribers and my "enormous" fan base, I will fill you in on what good has been happening in my life since the last time I graced you with my brilliant storyline.

I will have been, this coming Friday, dating a wonderful girl for 6 months. Her name is Nicole, and she comes from the beautiful state of Colorado. She is currently finishing up her last semester at a Christian college near Chattenooga, TN with a degree in graphic art. I mention this news first, because it is the closest to my heart. Nicole has shown me more of what love can be and has brightened my life (she's also one of the reasons I haven't touched this blog in over six months).

Since August, I have moved to uptown Charlotte, found a job waiting on tables at a nice downtown restaurant, and have enjoyed significant spiritual comradery with my roommates.

I'm staffing at a prayer house just a couple blocks from my home. In this place I can just "chill" with God for 2 or 3 hours at a time without worrying about whatever else is going on. It's an especially nice thing to do on Sabbath, when I have every right, reason, and injunction to chill anyway.

God has become more real to me as time drags on and my experiences of life become more ... solid .... realistic. My roommates have played a special part in helping this change, by praying with me and by embodying a highly unusual level of passion for and pursual of God themselves. There's some built in accountability there as we "increase" in our relationships with God and each other. It's a help you can't buy. I love it!

There's plenty more to share, but I'll just leave it for now and see what all of you have to say in response. You know that I'm much more motivated to share these little remarks when I know you're reading them.

Yore Truly.

My brother is a Fan.

I last published in my blog on May 22, 2007. That was a LOOOOONG time ago.

My twin brother sent me an message recently about how I need to get back to it because it was refreshing. That means a lot to me, and so I thought I'd blog about it. Affirmation, especially from family, is so motivational and meaningful.

Yore Truly.
