More About This Website

This blog is for those who take the line in the Nicene Creed seriously that says, “I await the resurrection of the dead and the life of the ages to come.” That is the life immortal into which Jesus Christ will someday usher renewed humans. For centuries these people have been called Christians, and they are still called Christians, but since Christianity has become such a broad term and Christ said that the gate into immortal life is narrow and difficult to squeeze through, then perhaps those few serious people would be better identified as “Aspiring Immortals”.

This blog is a journal of just such an Aspiring Immortal. Through stories, poems, and journal entries I teach orthodox Christianity. I am not a religious rebel, instead I’d rather identify with GK Chesterton, CS Lewis, and my favorite Saints such as Francis of Assisi, Chrysostom, and Climacus whose vision and creativity have guided so many aspiring immortals through this earthly life.

 

A companion to this blog is my book entitled “The Immortal Life (TIL).” TIL teaches orthodox Christianity to those who want to know the reason for life and death, good and evil. TIL explains it all from the fall of mankind to the annihilation of this planet with a refreshing contemporary voice that is at times even funny.

 

We all work very hard to improve life on this planet for ourselves and for each other. And yet there is so much more life has to offer. Aspiring immortals are the salt of this earth and the substance of the next one.

    Hide and Seek

    DateSunday, October 17, 2010 at 08:37AM

    Teacher, Master, King 

    Open the window wider

    That the breeze of your breathe

    May cool this citified mind of mine

     

    Spirit-Alive, Truth

    Show me where you live within

    Help me see, help me clean

     Together to uncover where You hide

     

    Lover, help me sort

    loud cars and trucks over there

    Busy, earthy, muddy

    memories of wrongs in this trash can let's place

     

    Pride and ego strong

    Let’s cut in little pieces

    Rain for fires burning

    Blankets of comfort keep for crying eyes

     

    We are almost done!

    I see a small pool of space

    And feel much lighter here

    Glorious resident let’s breathe

     

    And tomorrow work on the rest.
