Innocent but embaracing still…
Well it couldn’t have happened at a better time really. You see tomorrow I embark on a new series that God has been stirring in my heart on the idea of living an authentic life.
au·then·tic
| 1. | not false or copied; genuine; real: an authentic antique. |
| 2. | having the origin supported by unquestionable evidence; authenticated; verified: an authentic document of the Middle Ages; an authentic work of the old master. |
I’ll save the rest of that for later back to the reason for this post. As I’m spending some time studying tonight my youngest asked if he could play brick breaker on my Blackberry Curve. Unbeknown to me my son who is 5 got bored playing that game impossible I know but like I said he’s 5. You see here is where it gets good earlier in the day my wife sent me one of those really girly, i mean cool I love you text’s with the whole smiley face and everything. Ok track with me here remember that son that got bored? Well he proceeded to take some pics with the phone, got one of the dog, one of his brother picking his nose & some blurry shots of the floor. Not a big deal right? Well how I’m not sure but he proceeded to fwd that text message from my wife to another pastor here in town that we’ve been trying to connect with.
I still have no idea until hours later I here my phone beep. I have a text message from that pastor “Who is this?” Now after some investigating I see what’s happened my wife is laughing hysterically as I proceed to call this pastor and be authentic, I do love you and no I can’t explain the smiley face. What’s a guy to do?

i read your other blog, but this one got to me the most. and maybe it’s because after tonight i realized an authenticity within myself. it was not just good tonight. it was amazing. and maybe it didn’t look that way when you saw my face, but it still was because some inward things were happening.
thank you for being real, honest and loving.
