a better life: Not a break
http://drewsoped.blogspot.com/2015/04/not-break.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Every time I take a break from writing and then come back (because I ALWAYS do), I seem to write one of these "come back" posts, where I talk about my motivation and enthusiasm and desire to write more. Then, invariably, life happens and I'm back writing another one of these posts, about getting back to writing more and believing I can be more consistent. Seems to be a viscous cycle indeed. Stopped taking lessons by November and honestly was not sure I could keep it up. Because ...

a better life: Back stage pass
http://drewsoped.blogspot.com/2014/05/back-stage-pass.html
Tuesday, May 13, 2014. Most Sundays, I am an exceedingly privileged man, in that I get to. Lead a congregation into the throne room of God. Often, I have thought about what that looks like but never taken the time to write it out and explain it. The images in my head certainly could never do it justice, so perhaps my hesitancy to write about it has been that I didn’t want to lessen the impact by trying to explain something that seemed beyond words.

a better life: June 2014
http://drewsoped.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 27, 2014. At some point in the near future, I am expecting to be able to climb the weeds in my back yard, preferably to a cloud home in the sky, where I’m hoping to find a golden goose. The theory seems perfectly sound given the hardiness of the weeds. I’ll keep you posted. Maybe in other countries, these aren’t even weeds at all, but precious plants revered by many. There’s a thought! Links to this post. Wednesday, June 11, 2014. Pouring on, pouring into. Links to this post.

a better life: September 2013
http://drewsoped.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 8, 2013. Over the weekend I heard what seemed to me to be a fundamental truth, or at least a sound statement of faith. The statement was actually in the form of a question and it asked; “if there is no life after death, just darkness, then what is the point of life? Would you accept that as a truth, believing that there is literally nothing after this life, there is nothing to live this life for, there is no purpose to your life whatsoever? For many, it is not. Why do anything else?

a better life: December 2013
http://drewsoped.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 23, 2013. Ah, Christmas time, that glorious time of year of over-indulgence, gluttony, greed, materialism, unbridled excess and an overall wanton disregard for the needs of others, especially those less fortunate. But not around here, that kind of stuff only happens in big cities like L.A., Seattle and Bend. What does this mean? People become more insulated and don’t instead choose. Links to this post.

a better life: January 2014
http://drewsoped.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 28, 2014. By 2011 I had even been the head of a couple of ministries and was certainly invested in this concept of church, but to be honest, while I certainly understood it all, I’m not sure I had ever really bought into the idea of fully surrendering my life. And in the process, God has shaped me into someone who deeply cares for them all. My heart has forever been changed and I see with clarity, the hand of God in all that has transpired on this journey. Links to this post. I love the ...

a better life: March 2014
http://drewsoped.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2014. As I am discovering, my greatest weakness is indeed His greatest strength. I fall apart and He shines. I slip and He stands firm, ready to catch me when I fall. He never falters and that’s the part that is so hard to comprehend! Links to this post. Friday, March 28, 2014. To be involved in this discussion. The second is we overvalue. For some of us, we might read that and think; what’s wrong with any of that? If we can reach the point of respecting each other we can erase most of ...

a better life: October 2013

Wednesday, October 23, 2013. Sometimes our silence does as much damage as our voice. This is certainly true in the arena of politics, where yours truly has opted out of being a part of, ever again. At least that one thing doesn’t seem to cause me the drama it used to. Is it our goal to wreck people? Is it our aim to rain on a person’s parade so much so that they lose hope? Links to this post. No place like home. God willing, I think I’ll stay here. Links to this post. Wednesday, October 9, 2013. I need t...
