sad to

sad to see it go. I just had my last sip of Gulden Draak - a fabulous beer served at my two of my atlanta favorites - Octane Coffee (where I am now) and Brick Store Pub.

I have not blogged much as of late, a few reasons as to why - of which I will not go into here.

However, might I say I have noticed things as of late. Noticed being the operative word, reflecting the naivety of a certain level of living. I have, in the last year, been amidst as to what has been going on at a soul level. I have conversed little about heavenly things as work and other items have become weightier topics of conversation, both socially and on my pillow at night. I confess that I can barely go a few minutes without thinking about work. I love it, bottom line - I love work. What I do, where it's taking me, and what it gives me the ability to do. However, all that said - I gravitate towards financial models versus the bible. Wow.

The reality of sucking at both, financial models and reading the bible, I gravitate still towards financial models. They are in excel, and after much degradation can be understood to a certain level. While my soul, still remains a mystery. Why do I do what I do, react the way I do, hide when certain things are uncovered, and uncover things that should remain hidden?

The soul baffles me. The loving of another soul baffles me further as I come to understand the complexity of my own soul and attempt to apply that knowledge to people within my sphere through the tending of their needs, desires, wants, passsions........their soul.

Tis this life, and all that comes within it, that confirms the complexity, rather my inability, of it all.

fan of the arts

I am a fan of the arts, most people who know me - know that i likey me some art. HOWEVER what I am now witnessing in a coffee shop in Seabrook, Tx is a travesty. My head is starting to hurt - but they have free wifi and good coffee so i continue to sit here.

Where does appreciation and "knowing when to fold them" collide?

deep junk

no matter what man thinks, he has to deal with the problem that something is there.

soft my soul says v2

subtlety speaks loudly, settling one's soul.
it's not the loud that reminds, however it is the constant rendition of the truth condition that brings the soul back to form - it's original intent. rom 5.

good love....

I like Chesterton, I think he may be my next read. Here are a couple of good quotes from GK.

If there were no God, there would be no Atheists.

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered.
