Where have you been?

My art table is calling to me... "Come back to me!" I think I am ready to answer that call, finally.

Question the Answers...

I am in a season of uncertainty right now... am I where I am meant to be? Is my life one that is effective?

As a christian (and not always a particularly good one) there are compromises that I have made in my lifestyle, maybe even justified as acceptable by God. Being a part of the Momentum Youth Conference went a long way toward exposing some of these hypocrisies in my life (Nothing like standing in front of 1500+ teens as a part of a worship team).

A lot of that is beginning to change. I feel like a failure in many areas of my life mostly having to do with complacency and laziness... funny thing is I am reminded of a line from Batman Begins, "And why do we fall, Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up." It's a philosophy that followers of Christ can live by... we're not perfect and our failures are an opportunity to rise again improved, wiser. Not that we should justify sin or abuse grace. In this brief life we're given limited chances to make a difference, to be effective, I want to take advantage of those opportunities rather then squander them as I have previously. The idea that I am a "mist," here today, gone tomorrow is a profound reality.

This might not be a popular line of thought, in fact... I know it isn't. I don't know where I am going, I just know that God is moving and I am hopeful that He will use me in the process. Pray that answers will be clear or at the very least which direction to go would be revealed.

UPDATES!!!!

I'm a web designer by day and it's always a little pathetic how hard it is for me to update my personal site on a regular basis... the whole carpenter with his front porch falling apart syndrome.

So this weekend was update like a madman mode... there is still a fair amount to be done, mostly having to do with contact links/items and updating my "LINKS" page with fresh connections, additions, subtractions, etc.

If you get a free second, check out the site and let me know what you think... I would definitely appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

I have been having some issues with motivation lately... I want to get more work out there, but life gets in the way. I get tired... by the time I get home from my day job, hang out with the family and get the kids in bed... I'm often beat-up tired and don't feel like doing anything but lay around.

It's a lot like my attempts at losing weight, I want to lose the pounds, eat healthier, live better, whatever... but I'm constantly disgusted with my poor choices. FAILURE, again. It's pathetic unfortunately. Vicious circle.

There's really no excuse, it's all about decisions... "you'll do what you want to do."

Let's make comics.

Father's Day is coming...

Supposedly a day to honor me as a father... and while I appreciate and enjoy the attention, I assure you that I am one of the fortunate ones... not deserving of praise, but thankful for the blessings.
