Wayward Son

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.

Resurrection Ramblings

Categories: Meanderings (look it up)

A follow-up post to Thursday’s entry is in the works; look for it in the next couple of days.

This day–Easter, or Resurrection Sunday if you prefer another term–is the day we reflect upon, and celebrate, the risen Christ. After all the suffering He willingly endured on our behalf, after the horrific death on the cross…He rose on the third day, proving to all the universe that He overcomes the power of death and sin.

The Amazing and (Probably) True Story of the Graphic Equalizer of Incredible Sentimental Value

Categories: Things that Are Amazingly Awesome, Things that are too good to keep

In the summer of my sophomore year of college, I spent eight weeks traveling with a Music Ministries team from college. We were called “Frontline.”

Stop laughing; we were Christians in the ’80’s, alright? That name was cool back then. Also cool were our pastel outfits, Miami Vice white sport jackets and big hair. It wasn’t funny; it was cool. (What’s funny is that 22 years later, they are still using the name “Frontline.”)

I’ve Been Giving This Some Thought…

Categories: Meanderings (look it up), moments of truth

In the past few weeks, I have kind of felt like I’m losing my way on this blog. I have gotten busy again with things that keep me offline, and when I am on here, I find myself struggling with what to say. I labor over the words, and I sometimes don’t even like the post after I write it. And not fishing for feedback or anything…I have noticed my comments on the decline as well, which also makes me think I’m drifting a bit.
