Is so nice! Hanging out with family and my fiancée and doing absolutely nothing. Great to have a break from school and get away from GCU and life for a few weeks.

Also, officially a senior in college now. Been waiting for this since jr high it seems. To be in my last year of school and almost getting to “the real world.” it is scary and exciting at the same time, but I’m definitely ready for it. Ready for a change in life, change in people, and ready to not do homework anymore. One more year.

Excited to spend time with family, Rachel, and God this break. Remembering that those are the most important things in my life.

“So then a second dangerous question popped into my head: what if the opposite of what I thought as a kid were true? That is, what if my not cussing was keeping people from the faith? What if being a “good witness” meant learning to use the language of my culture and using it appropriately? What if I was creating unnecessary barriers for people to come to Jesus by creating the “ideal Christian” based on cultural baggage?

That is, what if people weren’t introducing themselves to Jesus because they thought he only hung out with the “no rated R movies – no beer drinking – no Jay-Z listening” crowd? What if “Christian” had been too narrowly defined by a certain Christian sub-culture?

This thought scared me. And still does. It actually motivates a lot of my thinking, writing, speaking, and living.* And so, for me, learning to say shit became a way to introduce people to Jesus. And believe me, with the baggage I had, it took a lot of practice (like literally, I cussed to myself in my car for weeks before I was courageous enough to say it with another person present).

But I knew that this would often lead to a dilemma. Do I risk offending “mature” Christians in my attempt to strip Jesus of his cultural baggage? Do I risk being considered a “heathen” and risk being labeled one who has “gotten into bed with the world” to reach people with the good news of Jesus?*

Hell Yes.

It wasn’t really a dilemma. I follow the One about whom the religious of his day said ‘Look! a glutton and a drunk a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’”

  Thanks! My fiancee thinks so too :)

My fiancee is gorgeous. I’m so blessed to have her in my life! And even more beautiful than her physical appearance is her heart. She has the biggest and most beautiful heart in the world and she challenges me every single day. I will definitely be marrying up!
