Life is a Journey

I am a Star Wars fanatic and I am a follower of Christ. The similarities between the Christian Faith and the Jedi Order have caused books to be written and I find it to be a great way to present my personal journey of faith as Jedi/Christian.

I know I am no longer a Padawan but somewhere in the midst of my knighthood my path got blurred, my faith had weakened, and I had almost lost hold of the purpose of the Jedi. Now equipped with the love of a family, a renewed hope with a purpose I am trying to find the my way back to the Order. My goal and desire is to be a Knight worthy of the honor, blessing and title of the Order. I Knight walking by deeds, words and power as I strive and grow into what the Masters have called me to be.

My Journey has not been easy and I have stumbled, struggled,
faltered, fell, even at times given up. However the Force and many of the Orders Knights and Masters haven't given up on me. So this is were you can join me in the very midst of my journey. That is the purpose of this blog. To be a place where others can join me in the journey that lies in the places somewhere between Padawan And Master. I hope to share the insight and words that touch my soul and catch hold of my intellect and my heart. To expose the things I fear and those things that spur me forward. It is my journey and I welcome you along.

Christmas Thanks - 12/25/2010

A house full of people an possibly the best turkey dinner I have made and one of the best Turkeys I have ever eaten. That is a great thing to be thankful for. Especially when everyone is in a agreement with me. Thank you God for gifting me in this way. I enjoy cooking and love to share it with others. It is always enjoyable to me to be able to host and have guests in our home. Yet another place where I am glad that God has gifted me.

Thank you family for blessing us with your time and gifts this Christmas season. We greatly appreciate all you have done for us and given us. More than anything we are thankful for the love and life that you share with us.

Lastly and not the least I am thankful for the gift of God in the birth of His Son Jesus. This birth is the whole reason why we celebrate today. In all we have done we have tried to remember what God has done for us. All of the blessings, all of the provisions, all the friends and all the family which we have been given. These are all part of the gift that a birth over 2000 years ago have allowed us to more fully appreciate. The life of Jesus is a gift that never stops giving. From the restoration of man to God to the daily involvement in our lives through His provision. We have much to celebrate and much to be thankful for. I only hope our hearts will stay gracious and our eyes continually open to all God has and is doing in our lives.
