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.

Just a Note - 1/09/2011

I just wanted to tell everyone who has been waiting for the next installment of My goals for 2011. This weekend got busy with stuff around the house and a late budget committee meeting. The good news is there is no longer a Tree up and what remains of the decorations are our winter snowmen. The other good news is despite the late budget committee meeting it got done.

So I will try to get the next installment done tomorrow in between doing some job search stuff.

Well to meet my goal for bedtime I got two minutes for the last thought I wanted to share. Something I read today from Charles Swindoll's book Hand me Another Brick.

"Adversity forces us to trust, to wait on God, to lean on His arms for strength"

If you are facing some stuff right now or over this past year as many are and I know Mandy and I have sure been feeling it over the past couple of years. Remember that there is always a reason for every season and it is God's reason not ours. This is a reminder that I need for myself daily.
