The Conduit - A Love Letter.

Tonight, I listened to Sigur Ros as I took a walked thru the night's darkness... The cool crispness of fall's air upon my face, and the breeze running its fingers through my hair. The visions of trees swaying in the breeze, the very breath of God upon me. Though life has been difficult... painful... and God, has seemed so silent and distant, at times... Not tonight!

Nothing else I've ever heard has been so emotive. The music of Sigur Ros IS a gift from God!!! And tonight, He delivered the gift straight to me. As I walked through the night, tears started rolling down my cheeks. I could see God everywhere I looked. I could feel Him... and I could feel his love pouring out on me. Over the past 4-5 years, the music of Sigur Ros has been a conduit to the heart of God. It pierces my heart. I can't help but cry.

Tonight, life wasn't daily tasks... or pain... or feelings of longing. Tonight, life was an opening of the eyes to the spiritual journey to the city of everlasting light. God isn't just at the destination... He's walking with me every step of the way! I can do this!! I want to do this!! God... I want to walk WITH you, in YOUR will for my life! Pain won't stop me. The world won't distract me. You are real... and you are with me... you've already overcome the world... Thank you for loving me... Thank you for blessing me tonight through the music of Sigur Ros and showing yourself to me. Thank you for this life, this journey of journeys... and thank you for my wife... and her purest of hearts!!! She is the greatest gift.

I Love you.

Your son, David.

Marriage: Cultural Misconception Exposed.

Recently I had a single person ask me if marriage was difficult. I'm not sure I can make a statement that rings true in all and for all marriages.   My experience of marriage has been intertwined with my wife's difficult health problems. Thus my perspective has been colored. Facing life in the midst of these health problems has been the most difficult experience of my life. What I can say about marriage is that I was lied to almost my entire life. God did not invent marriage to "make us happy"... The lie propagated by nearly every facet of American society as a whole. A lie left largely un-refuted by church, or so it seemed to me. "Oh, he makes me so happy!" and then when he doesn't make you happy any longer... "I just don't love him anymore". Divorce then follows. The now single person starts looking for another source of happiness. The cycle repeats, as the broken and imperfect person seeks the wrong remedy. I do not mean to say that you

Forgetting the Obvious

Well, its been a while since I've written... busy busy busy... but tonight's call has given me moments of free time to relax, including a trip to starbuck's across the street, and with such beautiful weather, I'm so lucky. Now I sit, under flickering flourescents, listening to the shoegaze drone of "Bethany Curve" every bit as relaxing as a nice dose of zolpidem. what shall I muse on tonight? I've been thinking alot on mid-life crises. Who has them?  I think I'm the sort that would have one. Even at 27, I still find myself wondering, "Is this what I want my life to be like?" I don't envision a life full of work, with only moments of fellowship. This will be temporary. I am applying for ophthalmology again, though with less enthusiasm. In part, because no matter how much I struggle for something, the only way it will happen is if God's will includes it. Isn't that right? I struggled hard for ophtho once, and I didn't get i
