Musician. Composer. Recovering perfectionist. Minister-in-transition. Lover of puns. Hijacker of rock song references. Questioner of the status quo. I'm not really a rebel. Just a sincere Christ-follower with a thirst for significance that gets me into trouble. My quest has taken me over the fence of institutional Christianity. Here are some of my random thoughts along the way. Read along, join in the conversation. Just be nice.

Recent discussions on this here blog have got my mind turning…as if it didn’t have enough to do. 🙂 Not really so much agreeing or disagreeing with comments made, or anything like that…just thinking.
Specifically, I’ve been thinking about what would make us not know when it’s real.
For a long time I’ve thought of religion as working the same way that a vaccine does, only instead of making us healthier, it has the opposite effect.

In my previous post, I talked about how I used to live deep within the bubble which is the church subculture, and how God burst those bubbles in my life, and how I am now outside the bubble without losing my faith.
So if I’m still a Christian after all this…what’s the difference that leaving the bubble has made in my life?
As I reflect on where I am now, and what kind of person this process has shaped me into–especially as I grow more settled in a new palatte for my faith–here are some of the things I see that are different about my life and discipleship:

Okay, let me unpack that…this would be a FAQ about my new life in Denver, except nobody is really asking these questions–which means they are actually Not-So-Frequently-Asked-Questions. And this is after Thanksgiving…hence the name.
Why are you writing a Not-So-FAQ?
Because these are questions people would ask if they thought of them.
How are you liking Denver?
Lovin’ it.
How do you like your flat?
It’s awesome. My favorite apartment ever.
Even though it’s less than half the square footage of where you used to live?
Even though.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
I might be a little sparse here over the holiday weekend. Gonna chop down a tree, get ready for a special advent worship time on Sunday, spend time with family, and maybe catch up on some paid writing assignments.
Of course, now that I say this, I’ll probably post here every day this weekend. 🙂 But it will probably be fun, useless type stuff, if it happens.
