But now is not the time: Falling Through Life
http://ahava516.blogspot.com/2009/11/falling-through-life.html
Tuesday, November 3, 2009. In short, I never liked Fall, because Fall brought Winter. And to someone who studied literature, even as briefly as my collegiate career can attest, it is hard to disassociate Winter from death. The leaves fall, the grass withers, and where the breeze brought relief, it now brings a soul-searing chill. The world loses all colour during the Winter, and what is Fall but Winter's prelude? It is a sobering beauty, a beauty as grand as it is sorrowful. The world knows, in these fle...

But now is not the time: June 2010
http://ahava516.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 25, 2010. I've always envied people who know, instinctively, passionately, what they 'want to do with their lives'. Because, in the spirit of frank honesty, I've never had a clue what to do with mine. I've never had that divine revelation, where you know, in your gut, that this is what I'm supposed to do, this is what I was meant for. It gets kind of frustrating, to be honest. Over the years, various teachers and other adults in authority would give us some assignment about 'what we want to ...

But now is not the time: But seriously, what is love?
http://ahava516.blogspot.com/2009/10/but-seriously-what-is-love.html
Thursday, October 15, 2009. But seriously, what is love? A lot of Christians have an odd habit of making a big fuss of love. From "God is love," to "Jesus loves you," to "Hate the sin, love the sinner," love is a word from which Christians get major mileage. Sometimes I wonder why we do it. I mean, to a lot of people out there, Christians aren't the ones expressing love. Condemnation, hate, anger, this is what so many see in us. Perhaps we should admit: we have made a mockery of love. What then, is love?

But now is not the time: Are men like me.
http://ahava516.blogspot.com/2010/01/are-men-like-me.html
Saturday, January 30, 2010. Are men like me. There are days where I fail to believe the words I say. Where I fail to live as I desire, fail to be who it is I want to be. There are too many times where the Holy is just not worth the pursuit. But, if I am to be honest, the reasons behind this failure, this utter disinterest, are very simple and quite apparent. The pursuit of love, of peace, the pursuit of a life lived through the Spirit. I must confess, this is so easy. How easy it is to diagnose the probl...
