i STILL dream....

i dream of leading a revolution and pioneering a movement that will forever change the way we pursue God.... i dream of infectious joy that will consume my family and those we encounter... i dream of holding moments captive that seem to slip away so quickly..... i dream of my children becoming all that i am afraid to chase... i dream.....

clean shaven

Well, i didn't obtain my initial goal of not shaving until the birth of my 3rd child in mid march.. but i did make it 4 1/2 months..:) the kicker was i really became tired of not feeling the face of my beautiful family when we would kiss... just thought that life was too short not to feel the sweet lips of my wife and two children.. so i shaved..

i learned a valuable lesson through this, " wild organic beards are for the single folk without small children ".. peace out

Beard Update

Just wanted to give an update on my vow to keep the beard going until the birth of my 3rd child approx. March 19th. These pics were taken this weekend at Titus' 4-year old birthday party. I'm pushing 3 months into this thing.. Let's hope I can keep it going. Just click on each pic to enlarge for a better view!

Beard Vow!

I have made a vow that I will not shave my beard until the birth of my 3rd Child that is due approx. March 19th 2011. At the completion of this vow my beard will be around 7.5 months old. This Beard will grow as organically and freely as it wishes. However, I will trim my mustache sparingly in order that the hair from my stache doesn't grow half way down my throat!

Suppression invites Depression

One of the worst things we can do as humans is to suppress our passion and dreams to pursue greatness. If you want to live a depressed, discouraged life then resort to just pleasing everyone else. The reality is there are plenty of excuses to lose the craving we once posessed; Im stuck in a career I can't get out of, My marriage is failing, My kids aren't inspired by my life, etc.. But listen to me, excuses will not heal the heart of a broken dreamer. You're a pioneer, visionary, revolutionary, so you only have one option; Stand tall, regain your composure and return to what screams in your soul to be uncaged!

Returning Soon

To all of my millions of blog followers out there(hahaha) I will be returning to the blog scene next week!!!! It's been a relaxing sabbatical from the blog world...

JUST THINKING......

As I sit here anxiously anticipating a package to arrive via courier service, I ask myself why I don't get this sense of urgency for the return of Jesus? Is it that I don't genuinely believe He is returning to redeem His followers, or is it that my life is so focused on the temporal that I could care less when He returns? This may be something we all need to work out???
