eric and jesus: December 2008
http://encouragek.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 19, 2008. Following Jesus and honoring your parents. I should probably read that IVP book titled "Following Jesus without dishonoring your parents.". I'm going to try to encapsulate many big thoughts in this blog. We'll see how this goes. PS: this post is long as hell. And possibly a bit incoherent. Anyways, at this point I feel the desire to ease my parents' concern for me. Why don't I just decide to make medical school my goal? But there are still lots of questions I have. Following Je...

eric and jesus: May 2008
http://encouragek.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 27, 2008. I don't know what I'm going to write about yet so you'll have to read to find out. This blog is less purposeful and more ranting about my life. So yeah. don't read this unless you want to read a lot of stuff that's not really to the point. And it gets a bit messy, so there's your warning. So there's one sin in my life I need to cut off. But surely there are more, right? It's easy for me to criticize my dad for our current relationship, but it's not as easy for me to see the ways th...

eric and jesus: Yay. Thoughts and LAUP and fdsa.
http://encouragek.blogspot.com/2008/06/yay-thoughts-and-laup-and-fdsa.html
Thursday, June 5, 2008. Yay Thoughts and LAUP and fdsa. It's been a while since my last post. I think it'll do me good to write one up right now. I'm going to write out my feelings so that I can express them and then I'll move on. It's been somewhat painful, trying to figure this stuff out. And my mind (I can't convince myself through reason that giving my life to him is that great of a decision right now! I don't know. Blah. SO dun dun dunnn! Do I WANT to go to LAUP (so that I can grow as a Christian)?

eric and jesus: January 2009
http://encouragek.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 26, 2009. What should I write about? When I was younger, my dad used to love walking around with me, holding my hand, and telling me how much he loved me. "You are the best son," he would tell me. My memory of my father throughout my life is so disjointed in some ways. Then there's the goofy smile that accompanies his weird, spontaneous, and incredibly ridiculous antics (i.e., weird dances accompanied by weird noises). Even better, there's the face he wears when he cackles wit...And there...

eric and jesus: So I've been reading this liiiittle book about this liiiiitle word
http://encouragek.blogspot.com/2008/05/so-ive-been-reading-this-liiiittle-book.html
Monday, May 26, 2008. So I've been reading this liiiittle book about this liiiiitle word. For the past week or so, I've been reading a book called The Smell of Sin (and the Fresh Air of Grace). By Don Everts. It's been fun to read, and it's kept me interested (which many books can not do). The part that really got me thinking talked about how Jesus is the light. If we obey his commands, then we're in the light! This aspect of sin gives me real consequences for my life. It makes sin heavy on my heart/...

Friday, June 20, 2008. An end to LAUP processing. an adventure. Hmmm So, for those who haven't heard yet, I've decided to go to LAUP, which starts tomorrow! Right now, though, I'd like to write about this whole process so that I can share it and record it. LAUP processing was difficult and stressful for a variety of reasons. But, in the end, I find that I'm really grateful for the process, even though it might have been quite painful sometimes. Here's why. Consequence: He doesn't respond in a way that I'...

eric and jesus: Jesus would have liked Doritos' BOLD flavors! ha...!
http://encouragek.blogspot.com/2008/05/jesus-would-have-liked-doritos-bold.html
Friday, May 23, 2008. Jesus would have liked Doritos' BOLD flavors! He was pretty bold, right? I mean, he did crazy things and I always hear people describing him as being bold and radical. But I read the story of the paralytic and his four friends, and I think Jesus likes boldness in others, too. They will probably be shunned from people's homes after this! So they finally get through the roof, and they lower their friend into the house in front of Jesus. People are shocked that these four guys woul...
