Thursday, August 16, 2007. Be Sure to Write". He sailed out to sea. To catch the wind and a dream. She waited by the door. With a baby on the way. And cried herself to sleep. From the weary wait. Over and Over again. Over and Over again. He caught that dream by the tail. And he lost it by and by. It took him 'neath the foam. And tossed him to the sky. Over and Over again. Over and Over again. He fell through his door. At some stranger's feet. Where are my wife and my kid". Son, they've upped and vanished.

Salt and Vinegar: Our Forgotten Sin
http://taylorswordsthatyouread.blogspot.com/2007/06/our-forgotten-sin.html
Monday, June 25, 2007. My generation has experienced a revival in grace. We cling to grace and we celebrate it. Reacting to the fire and brimstone preaching that has dominated American culture for far too long, we have admitted our brokenness and have begun to foster a new religion based on relationship. What a beautiful movement towards God we have made. I forgot about sin. However, in my personal life, I have clung to the first part of that verse and ignored the second. It's all about the love and ...

Salt and Vinegar: Each Passing Day
http://taylorswordsthatyouread.blogspot.com/2007/07/each-passing-day.html
Thursday, July 26, 2007. I hate long lines. I get antsy on long road trips. I like quick answers and solutions. Stoplights are obstacles. In our society waiting is considered wasting time.

This morning I woke thinking about this whole "waiting" issue, and as I drove to work I asked myself, "Why does God make us wait? But there is so much o...

Tuesday, June 12, 2007. Return Oh Traveler, Dear Son". So, I'm drivin' through the country of Virginia where I use to belong. And I've been robbin' myself of joy for far too long.

Salt and Vinegar: May 2007
http://taylorswordsthatyouread.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 28, 2007. The Proud or the Pious? I was thinking about this for quite a while when I finally bought Shane Claiborne's book "Irresistible Revolution." Now, I know some of you may not be too big on the guy, and I kind of understand. However, the mere message of the book has been striking some resounding chords down within me as I turn every page. Shane has lived a true life of abandonment and. The latter would anger God more than touch Him. Am I really a whitewashed tomb? Listen, by sending thi...

Tuesday, July 31, 2007. After I had been working on various things at my table for forty-five minutes or so, two guys around my age walked in.
