The only gift I can really give God is my suffering. Everything else was always His. I am already His. The only thing that God did not give us, was suffering. This we choose. And So; He took all of the suffering in the world onto Himself that we might have a gift to give. [...]

My head can easily get lost in the cosmos. It all seems so big. God, Jesus, Mary, Mary Magdalena. I was in the gym reading a book on the Gnostic gospels as I did my workout for the day, and my head was overwhelmed with the enormity of it all, the enormity of infinity, the [...]

Tomorrow I have another surgery. Compared to the bi-lateral mastectomy this should be relatively easy. They are merely placing a port into a vein in my neck in order to make it easier for me to receive my chemotherapy. However, it will still require at least a good six to eight hours in the hospital [...]

There are little moments in my life, where my prayer is so simple “God hang onto this moment for me, because my mind is frail, and I am human, and I need you to hold this moment for me, there is no one else who can”. I look around my house, and at pictures, and [...]

My realization began on a cold rainy morning in December of 2008. I was stomping through a dark, cold, wet parking lot in the rain, chanting to myself with each step I took (“You can pass this test”). I was on my way to take a medical school immunology test, and I was worried, scared, [...]

To be defined, this is what we want. I have spent my life looking for a definition, and looking for the one who will define me. There is a definition at my core, but until very recently I have never realized it was there. I have been looking outside of myself for my definition. I [...]

I would like to see as God sees, and love as God loves. However, sometimes I stop and think to myself, do I even know what I am asking for? Love can also mean pain. I am trying to reconcile something that has been difficult for me to figure out and muddle through in my [...]
