fake your death: April 2009
http://fakeyourdeath.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 24, 2009. One is Not Bold in an Encounter with God. One of the most beautiful quotes I've ever read. I. Cried the first time I found this in 'The Ragamuffin Gospel'. By Brennan Manning. Coincidentally, one of the best books I've ever read. The quote is from Richard Selzer, a doctor who wrote a memoir called 'Mortal Lessons.'. Manning uses the quote to metaphor our own palsy in relation to our God, and how he twists his lips to kiss ours. The young woman speaks. All at once i. In my limited ...

fake your death: July 2009
http://fakeyourdeath.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 26, 2009. If there is only enough time in the final. Minutes of the 20th century for one last dance. I would like to be dancing it slowly with you,. Say, in the ballroom of a seaside hotel. My palm would press into the small of your back. As the past hundred years collapsed into a pile. Of mirrors or buttons or frivolous shoes,. Just as the floor of the 19th century gave way. And disappeared in a red cloud of brick dust. There will be no time to order another drink. 8212; Billy Collins.

fake your death: A Hangover from Memory Lane.
http://fakeyourdeath.blogspot.com/2010/02/hangover-from-memory-lane.html
Saturday, February 06, 2010. A Hangover from Memory Lane. I used to be in a band. A few actually. And they were good, actually. It's strange and surreal and somewhat painful to look back into those memories. I've kind of locked them away and given the keys to 4 other guys. And only on rare occasions, inebriated by nostalgia, do we open the locked cabinets and drink from them. For the next two months, a kid about my age approached me. He was wearing one of our shirts.

fake your death: October 2009
http://fakeyourdeath.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 12, 2009. Napoleon asks "Who is Jesus? Well then, I will tell you. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and I myself have founded great empires; but upon what did these creations of our genius depend? Upon force. Jesus alone founded His empire upon love,. In defiance of time and space, the soul of man, with all its powers and faculties, becomes an annexation to the empire of Christ. All who sincerely believe in Him, experience that remarkable, supernatural. Labels: life is epic. Life functions ...

fake your death: January 2010
http://fakeyourdeath.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 24, 2010. I have to do something. I do not want to do it. I need strength and grace. Maybe peace will come. Thursday, January 14, 2010. It's been a hard few months. It’s not that I’m bad with the truth, it just comes slower for me. The abrasion of transparency is too easily avoidable, and while I’m sure it’s been apparent to my closest friends, I haven’t been on the up-and-up as of late. The doubt came in the desert. A dry and dusty few months with as little spiritual life as the terr...

Saturday, February 27, 2010. I was chasin' something, but I wasn't sure just what". I saw this a month or two ago, it was one of those transcendent moments that don't happen as often as I'd like.

fake your death: Live in love and let the world know why.
http://fakeyourdeath.blogspot.com/2010/04/live-in-love-and-let-world-know-why.html
Monday, April 26, 2010. Live in love and let the world know why. I met a woman while shopping tonight. Well, by "met" I mean she checked me out and bagged my items. And by "shopping" I mean. Ok I was at Wal-Mart. Debra was her name, I wanted to ask if she shortened it from "Deborah" - to rid herself of the baggage that comes with unnecessary consonants. "That's very phonetic of you" I wanted to say. But I didn't. Maybe Debra knows." - was everything I could think. "She knows I lied at work today&...The r...

fake your death: Goodbye Facebook (for now)
http://fakeyourdeath.blogspot.com/2010/05/goodbye-facebook-for-now.html
Saturday, May 01, 2010. Goodbye Facebook (for now). I could tell you that I'm giving up Facebook for a month because it's simply next on my monthly list of "discipline projects" or I could be superholy. And say that I'm "Surrendering" Facebook, maybe even call it a "fast" - I suppose those things are true, but only half-true. I check Facebook a lot. Whatever it is, it's become unhealthy for me and it's going away for a month - at least. I've already turned my attention to next month's discipline project,...

fake your death: Forgetting Facebook
http://fakeyourdeath.blogspot.com/2010/05/forgetting-facebook.html
Friday, May 07, 2010. In an effort to remain transparent, I will, in full disclosure say that I have checked Facebook this week. It was Tuesday or so, and I'd forgotten to log out from my phone - I got some alert and followed it in to the Facebook interface in order to read a message and log out. There Truth. I feel so much better. That said, I'm learning quite a bit about myself as I've given up Facebook for a month. 1) The days are long enough. To have them. I'm not saying that my time spent away f...
