"The Kingdom belongs to people who aren't trying to look good or impress anybody, even themselves. They are not plotting how they can call attention to themselves, worrying about how their actions will be interpreted or wondering if they will get gold stars for their behavior.
Twenty centuries later, Jesus speaks pointedly to the preening ascetic trapped in the fatal narcissism of spiritual perfectionism, to those of us caught up in boasting about our victories in the vineyard, to those of us fretting and flapping about our human weakness and character defects" Brennan Manning

I've been trying to get back to writing... but Im suffering from a pretty severe case of "writer's block". I have about 15 pages written. They're pretty much rubbish, but they're written.

Why not take a break and blog instead?

So, I guess Ill go ahead and lay it out there: I got a tattoo this weekend. There it is. According to some, I may not be seeing you guys in heaven anymore. I actually like it a lot. It hurt a little but not as bad as I expected. In case you are worried, rest assured...this is the only tattoo I plan to have. No sleeves for me:) The guy who did it told me he had just gotten a picture of Ron Burgundy tattooed on his butt.. and he was already regretting it. Yikes.

Anyways, here's a pic. It says "majesty" written in greek with artistic emphasis on the "Alpha" and "Omega" characters (hence, the title of this blog).



Its almost September. We're moving into my favorite time of the year... the leaves changing, the weather cooling down. Jackets and scarves and boots and hats will soon be making their way out of our closets. Im terribly excited.
Oh and PS... football season starts this weekend. Got College Gameday set up and ready to go:) You know where I'll be... come watch some football with me.
