Back
Well guys, we did it! My wife and I got back from our honeymoon yesterday. We're exhausted. Please folks, keep it clean, ok? We had an amazing wedding. And an amazing honeymoon. Now I know that often times the word "amazing" is used hyperbolically, but I mean it as much as I can mean anything. Our wedding was a blur but it was a warm loving blur. I've never felt the way I did that night, and I don't think Kristi has either. Pictures to come soon. For the 'moon we went to the central coast. It's always been a favorite spot for both of us and Carmel was as beautiful as ever. We really had a lot of fun. And I've been introduced to something called "outlet shopping". So anyway, it was a wonderful and much needed trip. I love our house. Kristi has made it a home. It is so strange and wonderful to start sentences with "my wife". We went through in 'n out after the wedding because we were starving.

Confused
It's easy to get disoriented in life. It's easy to forget what's important. Money is so much more exciting than Jesus. Money, fame and power are so much more enticing than my salvation at times. And so I find myself here again, needing to get on my knees. Not because I think god is going to change my life. not because I think he's going to make a check appear in my mailbox. But because I need to be reminded of my role in the universe.

Ignorance
So a while ago I was a committed patron of the popular restaurant chain Chipotle. By "avid" I mean "multiple times a week". I was living with some friends in Costa Mesa at the time, and one day while enjoying lunch from aforementioned popular chain my roommate looked online for the caloric and fat content of the delicious treat I was enjoying in my mouth. 52. 52 grams of fat in that damn burrito bowl. I've not eaten there since. I just can't knowingly ingest such needlessly fatty foods. But I CAN ingest such foods unknowingly! Ignorance is bliss, yes? My favorite coffee shop in the world also sells the best scones you will ever taste. These scones are an event, not just a breakfast item. Often times they are the reason I get up in the morning. Lemon poppyseed is how I get down. It's been said that God himself will often come down from heaven just to enjoy one. Anyway, today the guy working at aforementioned coffeeshop informed me, UNSOLICITED, of the caloric content of these wonderful bundles of joy. 850. Freakin' a man, freakin' a. They will forever taunt me from behind their glass casing. Damn you, reality! You've won the battle, but you'll loose the war.

Reality
I am a consumer. I still believe the lie. But I know that I can escape my rotten paradigm. I know the feeling of freedom. I just don't experience it very often. We all grow up in bondage to ourselves. And i'm still there. I really love Derek Webb. He's the baddest christian songwriter i've ever heard. Y'all should go listen to "In God we Trust" from Mockingbird right now.
