GRAMMATEUS
GRAMMATEUS means scribe or writer in Greek. For us, GRAMMATEUS was a monthly publication that we created during the year of 2013. Each publication included a few articles and some artwork, by myself and a few of my friends. The articles fit in the following categories: biography, theology, technology, history, or art. The artwork, along withContinue reading “GRAMMATEUS”
A Mantra / Prayer
I have this mantra I’ve started with God: “God, I can’t do this.” “I know you can’t, Omer. BUT I can.” “God, I can’t do this.” “I know you can’t, Omer. BUT I can.” “God, I can’t do this.” “I know you can’t, Omer. BUT I can.” I did it today. I’m sure I’ll doContinue reading “A Mantra / Prayer”
Work & The Mind
This week is a big week at work. Four days worth of meetings. Middle-aged men from around the world discussing big problems. Men who make big decisions and big money. The purpose of the meetings: to reduce flash in tires. Funny, eh? I thought so too. But then you consider that every vehicle around theContinue reading “Work & The Mind”
Follow the Signs; Exits Have Been Changed
The title of this post comes from a traffic sign I saw this weekend. In many ways, it sums up my thoughts this past week. What I mean is that everyone has to exit this world. It’s not optional. Most of us think we know when we’ll exit, say at the age of 85 orContinue reading “Follow the Signs; Exits Have Been Changed”
The Doubt, The Dream, The Resurrection
Three things I must write, but I’m not at all sure how they go together. I remember nailing my debts and doubts to an old rugged cross in a dark room many years ago. I had a dream a few days ago about visiting the underground with a group of guys. Throughout the dream, weContinue reading “The Doubt, The Dream, The Resurrection”
Lawn Care: Curse or Blessing?
Early in the Bible, God creates man and puts him to work in a garden. Awhile later, man screws up. As a result, God tells man he will still have to work the land, but now his work will be more difficult. He will have to sweat and toil, fighting the thorns and such. PeopleContinue reading “Lawn Care: Curse or Blessing?”
The Importance of Direction
Yesterday at church, I had an epiphany of sorts. The preacher was going through Acts 16, talking about how Paul obeyed the Spirit’s direction. Instead of heading north-northeast into Asia, the Spirit led him to enter Europe, which was west. North-northeast vs. west. That’s a drastic difference on a compass. Just think, if you liveContinue reading “The Importance of Direction”
4 Pieces
Today, I had 4 pieces come together. Two of the pieces came thru dreams. Here they are: I had a dream of a picture, in which I was standing in a hole. It looked something like this picture. The message attached to the dream, “Bloom where you’re planted.” In another dream, a man said to me,Continue reading “4 Pieces”
25
At 25 I’ve finally figured out why I’m here. I know my calling / vision / mission / values / theology of cultural engagement / spiritual gifts / talents & strengths / motto / skills / and myers-briggs type indicator. I know who has influenced me, what life events have shaped me, what books haveContinue reading “25”
P31
I read somewhere that “Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.” When I read that, I thought of my wife. Not because she charmedContinue reading “P31”
A Way We Can Learn (1)
Sometimes we make decisions in life, not knowing why we make them. For example: Back in July of last year, I started a job in Crawfordsville. Hannah and I were living at my parents’, in the upstairs of the garage, and our daughter, Sevaeh, had just entered the world. A month later, we decided toContinue reading “A Way We Can Learn (1)”
