This is an entry from May 19, 2007, one year ago today."Pain is such an interesting thing. Everyone feels pain. Everyone has experienced some form of pain. A bruise, a cut, a sickness, or disease.

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Shane and Anne Templeton! My brother got married this weekend. It was a beautiful wedding in the mountains of Banner Elk, North Carolina. It was the happiest I have ever seen him. I listened to Anne and Shane give their vows to one another that they had written. Words of love, commitment, perseverance, thanksgiving, hope, expectancy, encouragement, grace, and trust. Thank

today I feel the need to reflect a bit. look back as I look forward. In December of 2006, a movement was started. maybe you have heard of it??? Its called REVO. It now occupies space in the hearts of hundreds, maybe thousands of people across the globe. So I want to take you back to the beginning...at least the beginning, as it was for me. to the start of something good.... December 11, 2006 a

"....and i think when they pull blessings out of you, blessings really come forth. They are ready for the blessing. They believe in the blessing, and you are not really sure if it was there until they saw it, expected it, and demanded it. These are the blessed of the earth who usually don't need to be taught contemplation. Suffering seems to teach them." - Everything Belongs

March 10. 2008Back home, sitting on the couch as if I have never left. We left Garca on Saturday morning. We traveled to Sao Paulo on the bus and then sat in the airport for seven hours. Flew 8 hours through the night to Miami, waited for another five hours and flew home. There were no tears. Not for me at least. Half way through the week I hit a wall.

"We are part of such a restless generation. Always moving, going, seeking then finding, and choosing to seek more. We are not a generation of finding roots in one place. Because we find roots in every place. To be moving is to be grounded. It seems like a strange paradox and there are definitely some people who abuse this freedom in order to run. The true movers in this generation don't run.
