So if you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—-that's where the action is. See things from his perspective.
-Colossians 3:1-2 (The Message)

A serious case of Blog Neglect...

I haven't posted a blog in a while... My apologies. I've been a little caught up in another project I'm working on called Christian Carpology. In one sense, it's just another blog I'll be posting to, but in another sense, it's something much bigger than me. And after a while of wrestling with the html for the site, it's finally up and running! (Praise God!)

Me and eleven of my good friends are writers for Christian Carpology. We have a vision of professing God's love and truth to everyone by recounting how He is moving in our lives and the lives of others around us.We're posting various testimonies, devotionals, cool music and upcoming events for Christians around the country.

We may seem to be a pretty random group of bloggers (representing Pittsburgh, Philly, DC/Maryland, Texas, UK, Ghana and Korea), but we have one very big thing in common - Christ is our Savior. And I believe that God has united us to be ambassadors for Him through this blog. I love all of them, and God is working in their lives in marvelous ways and I'm excited to read their posts and stay updated on what God's doing all over the globe.

So... (drumroll please) without further ado... here's:


And below is my latest post to Carpology. Something that I've really been thinking about lately and it's definitely encouraged me a lot, so I pray that it blesses you as well.

mercy - what an interesting concept

Sometimes when you sin and ask for forgiveness from the Lord, you aren’t fully prepared for His mercy. What I mean is that, we’re so used to being judged and scrutinized and pointed at by others when we mess up, that it’s hard to believe that a perfect God would be willing to forgive us when we fall short. It's just difficult to comprehend. And even more, it’s hard to embrace grace and mercy when we ourselves don’t show grace and mercy to others.
