love to win
you play with passion
meaning your victory
when in fact it’s loss

the bad christian

I find it astonishing that Christians have become people known as a grouping of society that needs to adhere to a behavioral code. Any failure of a Christian to meet social expectations is called hypocrisy. This would be an unfair accusation if it weren’t for the fact that Christians are part of this problem. We (Christians) are quick to bring to light a ‘higher path’. A different way of living. We make our goalpost behavior instead of faith, as though obedience was the way to please God. I am learning that FAITH impresses Him far far far more.

Why would someone apologise to me when swearing in front of me...? I don’t care for your swearing - I care that you don’t know my God like I do.

I’m certainly not good - I just trust in Someone who is.

software update

This morning i was forced to cancel a few work appointments, and seeing as my mom was with me and we had time on our side, we decided to hit the local mugg & bean with armed with our laptops and 5 hours unlimited wi-fi usage vouchers (compliments of MWEB).

Three hours later our machines were updated with the latest software, anti-virus software, and even a few free music albums that I am now listening to... (for a free download of Angels & Airwaves’ latest album go to http://modlife.com/angelsandairwaves/love)

And this process got me thinking that sometimes our lives need software updates. Our minds need access to the Wireless.

the Jesus way

where perfection is mandatory and grace is the song

countless

im sick with pride - at times i leak
parts of me that seek to be known

rehearsals in my head for who i think is watching
i play my act on stage

engage me, i'm absorbed
porous holes of empty

rented thoughts i pay to think
to think i have not plenty

when life can't be counted
and worth is in less

i have lots to learn
as i work on this mess

words

they craft me long before i craft them
