sermons of New Philly
i resolved to spend some time during my break to catch up on a lot of older sermons from my church so that i could be on the same page as my pastor/the church. i also wanted to just understand what our church was built on and how it came to be.

christmas twenty-eleven
Today was beautiful.
I was really bummed to not be in Chicago with my family. All my friends were hanging out this past week and I felt pretty lonely. I started to feel really discouraged because I had so much stuff to do that all I could think of were the million things I had to get done for work and church.

Real creativity and inspiration usually find us when we step out of the technological haze and engage with God, creation and those around us.”
I liked this point the most. I love my smart phone, but I also kind of look...
