is there an app for that?
I work for a Christian school which is affiliated with a very large church over in Highlands Ranch. Please, lay aside your knee-jerk cynicism about Suburbia, megachurch, and whatever else you’re feeling cynical about when I say “Highlands Ranch.” I work in IT Support, running the help desk for the school and church staff. It’s busy, fun, consistent work and I’m...
Obligatory Snow-day Twitter Compilation, volume 1:...
It’s snowing in Denver today. We’ve got a good 6+ inches on the ground, many businesses are closed, and if you live in or have friends from Colorado, then right now your twitter feed is completely deluged by posts about this winter wonderland and the many challenges it imposes. So, in order to make your life easier, I’ve gone ahead and done the legwork this snowy morning,...

All I Have is Yours (and other statements of the...
I think one of the most common lyrics in modern worship is “all I have is yours.” While there seem to be plenty of variations on this theme, (take all of me, I give myself away,) it seems to be a recurring idea in worship music. It’s one of the lyrics that I remember singing the most, writing the most, and repeating the most throughout my youth group and even early college days.

Inerrancy, Authority, the Holy Spirit and me. Part...
What I say about the Bible says a lot about me.
In our post-modern, so-cool-its-uncool land of hipsters, yuppies, occupiers and the like, one topic is sure to set ablaze one big ruckus of conversation: the inerrancy of scripture. For most old-fashioned, “conservative,” reformation-leaning Christians, the issue seems simple. They believe the Bible is perfectly true in all that it teaches and...
“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you...”

28 is not 18
Today was the first day of Men’s Boot Camp at Park Church. If you don’t go to Park Church, then that statement probably means nothing to you. Men’s Boot Camp is:
1) Something men at Park Church do. Not because we are chauvinists, but because it’s not Co-ed Boot Camp. It’s for men.
2) Really, really, really early in the morning, which is a lot of what this post...
the telling
I’ve started a new project, and I’m lucky enough to have the lovely Hannah helping me out with it. For those of you who don’t remember, Hannah is my girlfriend, and on occasion we sing songs together. Sometimes those songs get recorded on my MacBook Pro, and then they somehow or another end up on the internet.
The idea behind these new songs is pretty simple: take a passage of...
losing your train of thought
I tend to be late to parties. I’ve been loving the music of Eluvium for 3 years now, but just today bought the album “Similes.” It’s a little strange adjusting to hearing actual vocals and lyrics, when the previous records were pure Eno-riffic ambience. The vocals are mixed nicely, and stay out of the way of the atmosphere the pads and instruments create, so I’m...

the break you took
It’s funny what I do on quiet evenings in the fall. I sit, listening to crickets through a window screen, feeling cold air at long last moving into my home. My roommate is working late, my girlfriend is sound asleep at her home blocks away. And I’m at home, wondering what else I can do to feel productive. Here I sit, surrounded by the visible favor of our good God, being told to enter...
The update
I like lists, and I haven’t blogged in a long time. For those of you just joining us, here’s the skinny.
*I live in Denver proper now, just on the outskirts of the Highlands.
*I’ve been at Park Church for 5 months now, dating Hannah for 4. Yep. And yep.
*If you live anywhere near 38th and Clay, (and by near, I mean within 75 miles,) you owe it to yourself to go to $1...
My dilemma, pt. 1
I begin this post with the realization that, as an American 20-something, my grasp on true or classic Protestantism is notably flawed and incomplete. This is merely a post expressing the current state of my “fear and trembling.” Over the pas few years, I’d say my view of the bible, the gospel, and the God who Is has been changing pretty rapidly and radically. I do not attribute...

This is where a lot of my time and energy is going lately. I have a great passion for the enjoyment of beer, and hope to have an impact on the beer culture in Denver and the US. Read it, enjoy it, love your beer.
