awakening people to renovate their world in los angeles and beyond
My desire is to awaken people to see reality and help renovate the world in which we live. I write as one in need of much renovation myself. When i think about the city in which I live and the stuff that is happening in our world and my own life, I find myself getting cynical at times. The only thing that really gives me hope for the future is Jesus. For he seems to be the only one who was able to live a life fully faithful to God. Jesus wasn’t like most people, he had a genuine concern for people’s lives. He was willing to confront the fraud and hypocrisy that he found in the religious and political institutions of his day for the sake of the oppressed. As a result, he faced the same punishment every other political dissident faced, death on a cross. So if the best man who ever lived died trying to make the world a better place, what hope is there for us? Why bother doing any good? Because God justified Jesus’ life and mission by raising him from the dead. So now we can experience new life and partner with him in his project to renovate the world. My hope is to pick up the la times and the sacred text, and figure out how to follow Jesus more fully in this world.

Hmm, I'm Rerun - "a skeptic at heart, you enjoy reading and learning above all else. You often find yourself in the fringe of things and people tend to overlook you and your talents. You often use your charm to conceal your cleverness."
hey JR
I think it's woodstock myself. You seem to more closely model that. How are things going? long time, no speak! I am enjoying MN.. keeping it real. things are going well! I should be back in LA for at least a brief time in Feb/Mar!
I'll have to go with woodstock, "incredibly unique" probably says it all! Blessings bro
