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 Eve Thanks - 12/24/2010

Today I am glad to say and am very thankful for the glimpses of and the feelings of Christmas.

The last few years have been a struggle for me to catch the Christmas Spirit. Some of this I feel has to do with my current occupation which surrounds me and inundates me daily with the commercial and materialism of what Christmas has become.

This year has been particularly hard to find that spirit for both Mandy and I. But after a nice service at church, a day of wrapping presents and last minute preparations, Time spent with Mandy's dad and Jodi enjoying desert and presents, and being able to look forward to all that Christmas Day will bring. They Joy and Christmas Spirit has began to make its way into my heart this Christmas Eve.

So Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
