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.

Day 5 Of Giving Thanks - 11/11/2010

Today I would like to start off that I am thankful for all the veterans who have served this country. I am thankful for the men and women who serve this nation to ensure we have the freedoms and liberties which our founding fathers wrote about, fought for and died for. In honor of these sacrifices and out of a hart of gratitude and thankfulness may we all learn to live worthy of the freedom we have. Not a freedom to live selfishly or a freedom to do whatever we want no matter who it hurts. But a freedom that is based in learning what true freedom is and how it is lived out by mature loving people.

It is because of this sacrifice I can be thankful for many things in my life. My right to worship and believe in God. My right to have a family and to pursue our dreams. My right to be a part of this nation and all it was founded on.

Thanks to our freedoms my family and I had a great day together. Enjoying one another and relaxing together.

Thank You.
