the new army

posted by adam on 10.13.2006

I don’t know much about the army. As a kid, I liked to play guns and I had a decent collection of GI Joes, but that’s really about as far as my fantasies of army-life went. I didn’t have any relatives who served in the armed forces. I didn’t have any friends who enlisted. I […]

the how-to-be-happy guide

posted by adam on 10.06.2006

Blogging is a funny thing. I mean, I write and I post and then I have no idea if anyone out there is reading what I write or if anyone really cares. It’s like yelling into an empty cave. And then some of you wonderful people who have actually been reading what I write let […]

this is how it feels when I
ignore the words You spoke to me
this is where I lose myself
when I keep running away from You

don’t know myself anymore

I’ve had something of a revelation […]

nothing that has not died

posted by adam on 06.06.2006

“The structural position in the church which the humblest Christian occupies is eternal and even cosmic. The church will outlive the universe; in it the individual person will outlive the universe. Everything that is joined to the immortal Head will share his immortality. We hear little of this from the Christian pulpit today. What has […]
