“For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:20)
I understand this. There is something that is hard to ‘contain’ when you’ve truly encountered God. I get giddy (yes, not very manly…) and excited when I talk about God. It’s hard for me to stop. In fact, anytime I can [...]

what i’m watching?: The Golden Compass
Posted in God, feeding my brain, sharing faith on December 7, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The Golden Compass is set to hit theaters this weekend to much fanfare. And it’s not just Hollywood Hype that’s driving this movie’s appeal.
