Fun House of Mazes and Mirrors

I'm a youth minister, living on the Earth--more specifically, Staten Island, NY. I love ideas. I love to think about things that I've never thought about before. I like to think of the world as a giant kaleidescope that can be turned a couple of times, and all of a sudden, there is something new and beautiful.

I also love Jesus. I love helping people, and I love living a life of love.

I think the most beautiful thing about life is our imagination--our ability to dream. We all have dreams, and it's such a shame to give up on them. If anything, I think that's what God loves to do most of all--allow us to dream BIG, and then show us that it's not too BIG.

I want to leave the world a better place than I found it. Is that too much to ask for? I want to belong. Isn't that what we all want? I want to throw around ideas about anything and everything, because at the end of the day we are not THAT different--and yet, we are completely unique.

It’s one thing to acknowledge Jesus as your Savior. It’s another to bow your knee to Him as King. 

The first is important—we begin to realize our hopeless situation, and reach out for the hand that has been stretched out for us all along. 

The second, however requires us to give away our lives, to be known as nothing more than His subjects—to desire what He desires—to do what we should do. This is called sanctification, and every Christian must go from being simply “saved” people to being also “kingdom” people.
