It’s been so long, I decided to resurrect this old blog. Facebook has rendered this site unnecessary, purposeless, and so it has sat here, taking up space and collecting dust. But it’s still my small little corner, and the fact that very few of you will read this makes it a quiet, discreet place to [...]

more about the church

I watched you beat my lady like a man whose heart is torn.
She cried out to me blindly from that distant shore.
And every fiber in me wept for my lost sheep.
Though the sea be wide o’er that Great Divide,
I will set her free.
I’ll pour my love out on the ground as the blood pours from [...]
So…it’s been a while
Posted in life, poems on July 27, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Well, I guess it is time for a new post. So much has been going on, I don’t know where to start. Since my last post, I’ve peaked a 14,000 foot mountain in Colorado, spent a week in San Diego, and another week in the Ozarks riding horses. Most recently, some old family friends of [...]
Ahh…Spring!

Only in Missouri is it 18 degrees in April.
Hmmm….Seems like it’s been a while…
Well, just an update. Not much is going on. Of late, my life is composed of three things: AP, 180, and soccer. And there’s just barely time for the last two. Soon, it will all end. The AP test is but 35 [...]
Valintine’s Day at RB
Posted in Rants, life, poems on February 14, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Ah, Valintien’s day. What can be better than a day devoted to sugar, cholesterol, and fuzzy little stuffed animals? How about a day dedicated to decapitating flowers and relishing their deathly odors? Valintien’s day is about surprises, and oneness. Like when you innocently turn a corner, and suddenly your eyes are scarred by two [...]
how can it be friday? What a week…
Posted in School, life, poems on February 2, 2007 | 5 Comments »
I don’t understand this whole highschool thing. It’s just too complicated. Social life? What’s that? What are boys? Why are they such jerks sometimes? And then such gentlemen the next? I don’t understand my generation. I don’t understand how people can deal with this every day. How can this be the norm, when the slightest [...]
A Severe Mercy
Posted in Movie/books/music, poems on January 14, 2007 | 16 Comments »
So I’ve started this book in celebration of a four-day weekend. I highly recommend it. It’s a romance, a true story, which depicts both a couple’s earthly love and their growing love for Christ. The man, whose name is Vanauken, was a good friend of C.S. Lewis. As a romance, this is the best I [...]
Thanksgiving! II

Hello, all! It’s taken me a long time, but I have returned in the glorious thanksgiving break. I want to wish everybody a fantastic thanksgiving! I also wanted to share a piece of original art from our beloved Mr. J. This poem was inspired by the conveyor belt at the Windermere cafeteria. Pay [...]
to someone

How brave a thing, to freely cry.
Yet braver, to wipe away one’s tears.
It’s a courageous thing, to die.
And more so, to stand and face the years.
Rest your head, weary child.
It is no sin to cry.
Your troubles have been reconciled.
Close your reddened eyes.
Tread softly, precious darling,
Adonai formed your feet.
Pray softly, sweet morning,
The Holy Jesus make you [...]
Inspired by “The End of the Spear”

I thought that I knew glory.
I thought that I knew pain.
Yet these notions are but passing whims
with no amounting claim.
I thought I gave my riches.
I thought I spent my gold.
But I had yet to define my treasure.
I had yet my jewel to hold.
I thought that I was righteous.
I thought that I was clean.
But hidden, under [...]
