Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes. Navigating an age of anxiety. Thursday, June 14, 2012. Actors, Pastors and Lawyers. I feel like the title of this post sounds like the beginning of a joke. If you know how its goes or come up with one please write in the comments. An actor, a pastor, a lawyer and an advertising executive walk into a bar. The Bartender asks, "What brings you fine gentlemen in here today. The actor says, "I have lived perfection on stage how can I face reality sober? I was extensively involv...

Oh the places you'll go: March 2009
http://donttiptoe.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Oh the places you'll go. Thursday, March 26, 2009. My current view on Twitter. Thanks to a friend for pointing this one out. Thursday, March 19, 2009. The good things in life. So this has turned into a whine fest and that was never the intent. I apologize for boring you with my complaints. Here is where I meant to go with this. As I reflected on this brief moment in time, I realized how necessary it is for me to remember the good things in life, however simple they may be. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes: March 2013

Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes. Navigating an age of anxiety. Friday, March 29, 2013. Change Doesn't Just Happen Over-night. Change doesnt just happen overnight, it happens both over-night and during the day. Change happens whenever people live it, not when we observe it. The following is a piece I wrote for one of my classes this semester that attempts to capture this sentiment. It includes both a spoken word piece and a short explanation of the piece. Hope you enjoy! Links to this post. All of this occ...

Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes. Navigating an age of anxiety. Saturday, April 27, 2013. Being in the same place two years later.Sucks. The elation of Tuesday’s noon was soon swallowed by the hollow emptiness of Wednesday’s realization. 8220;What am I doing with my life? 8221; Mid-twenties without a serious career path! Open-ended options with no distinct path forward. No way to define what it is that I want to do. I continue to fly by the seat of my pants, but eventually do I not need to have som...8221;...

Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes: June 2013
http://smokemirrorsandcigarettes.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes. Navigating an age of anxiety. Monday, June 17, 2013. I have been working at a church. For about a month now. It is a church where the marginalized are the center. This past Sunday was my first real Sunday sermon in a Church that is affiliated with a denomination. Since I wrote it out, I thought I might as well share it for the hand full of people that might take the time to read it. Today we are going to sit in scripture. But, sometimes we have trouble understanding. I wan...

Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes: May 2013
http://smokemirrorsandcigarettes.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes. Navigating an age of anxiety. Friday, May 3, 2013. As I pursued the Internet this evening I came across this article. In sum, today Google changed its platforms to call Palestine "Palestine" instead of "Palestinian Territories.". At first you might be like, "Yup, OK, not a big deal.". You would be part of a large swath of the populace in making such a statement. But there is a lot going on in this news piece. What is even more striking is the notion that technological inno...

Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes. Navigating an age of anxiety. Friday, May 8, 2015. MINERVA MCGONAGALL AND THE BOOK OF JUDE. I graduated last week and just like last time I graduated I am currently rereading the Harry Potter series, which has reminded me of this paper I wrote last year. I decided that now was as good a time as any to share it. If you have not read the Book of Jude. Recently I encourage you to do so because I jump in at the deep end of the pool. Readers of the Harry Potter. Series might st...

Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes: September 2013

Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes. Navigating an age of anxiety. Thursday, September 19, 2013. Where am I to stand at the TRC (Truth and Reconciliation Commission)? I am now a part of this history. I occupy the space. The Christian tradition with which I identify is enmeshed in these actions. The taxes I pay, the government that represents me and social structures I live and work within are involved in the continued oppression of the indigenous people of North America. Paralleling our stories, letting them ...

Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes: The Life Kenotic
http://smokemirrorsandcigarettes.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-life-kenotic.html
Smoke, Mirrors, and Cigarettes. Navigating an age of anxiety. Thursday, July 17, 2014. 8220;The boy who lived, come to die.” – Lord Voldemort. As the Harry Potter. If life brings death, can death bring life? Would such a politic bring not only spiritual life, but also real physical life, an ordered life, a life to the full? What might an ordered life look like if wedded to kenosis? This kenotic action undermines in a cyclical, threefold manner that reveals deep existential meaning in every moment. Assert...
