What ever happened to the way of the spontaneous gesture? The impromptu get up, leave whatever you’re doing, and just go kind of mentality? Is it a mere artifact that can only live through memoirs and/or recollections from Horatio’s (that old ex-greaser who always reads the newspaper and shares stories from the wonder years in the morning at your local coffee shop) ailing memory?

An Outdoor Service in the Winter
For those of you who know me, (like, really know me) you know how much I value passion. There are very few things in this world that can compete with the feeling of being adrenaline-induced, driven by some motivational speech that keeps playing on repeat inside of your head.

[Noah] and the Whale.
IN my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me.
From the depths of the grave I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.
You hurled me into the deep, into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers swept over me.
I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight;
yet I will look again toward your holy temple.
The engulfing...

"Rev Rump"
So, I’m up. Attempting to finish this paper that’s due tomorrow afternoon, and somehow, I am inclined by the Spirit to write (for the legalistic: electronically blog).
Currently, I live in the city of Philadelphia, the “city of brotherly love”. Since my arrival, I’ve come to find that I have been on a journey in discovering myself, my surroundings, and most...
