“When you look in the mirror and see the light gone from your eyes, when you stop laughing, listening to music, or thinking about a positive future,…then you see a ruined man’s reflection.” ~Bill Hull. That is not the existence Jesus wants for us. What He wants for us is life—real life, full life, abundant life—life with Him. He is the source of all true living.
This blog contains comments and teaching regarding living the Christian faith and comments on the intersection of faith and many other aspects of life from pop culture to science. It also has some stories--hopefully they are amusing stories--from my life. ~Dan

Work On Changing "Me" First
Real, consequential “CHANGE” agents always begin with themselves. “I have spent a lot of my life trying to make things happen and trying to get the people around me to do what they didn’t want to do or didn’t have the character to do. I’ve decided to stop trying to change the world. I’ve even stopped trying to change the church. People seem to get so angry. I have decided to focus on changing me.”~Bill Hull.

The True Intention Of The Heart
“It is very common that we find ourselves in a constant negotiation with God about who is in charge. But a holy and devout life calls for surrender, not negotiation.”~Bill Hull. The issue here has to do with the true intention of our heart. A Christ follower who is growing, has a heart that is sincerely intentional about wanting to please God &, therefore, is engaging in the disciplines & practices that lead to growth.
