Deep Waters

…It’s one thing to tell others Jesus’s story, it’s another to ‘be’ it. I’m learning to tell Jesus’s story by living it, by loving my neighbor, not just regurgitating words, which is how I used to live. If I went to someone for encouragement and all they would do is tell how Jesus could fix [...]

If I Knew Then

I was asked recently by a close friend to write a letter to his son as an encouragement to him as he turned 16 recently… Sandy read it and inisted that I make a copy for my daughters as well. So I thought you may be encouraged by it too… After pondering a while what [...]

Top Shelf

Rocco — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 12:47:49 +0000

I had a dream a year or so ago… I was walking around in a liquor store looking for a bottle of Gin or Vodka … or both. I was looking to find the highest quality “top shelf” brand I could find. (If you think about it, all stores put the best items on the top shelf.) [...]

One of the biggest complaints I see from users of social media technology is ‘the lack of privacy’. I.e. – statements like “OMG!!! You can see my profile if you google it!??!” So. Like all “New Things”, at Google Plus, Please Read The Manual!!!!! Don’t get caught with your pants down and then blame Google [...]

Letters

If my wife Sandy were to write me an intimate love letter, that bared her heart to me, and touched me deeply, I would cherish it, probably save it for ever. But… If I held onto and had a relationship with that letter above her… If I only used that letter to understand her… If [...]

Learning To Love

Rocco — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 14:36:59 +0000

I got kicked out of an ‘Institutional’ small group 5 years ago because of group think. My ideas and thoughts on spiritual life were not in line with theirs… One thing I am learning to do is to love others no matter what they think or where they are in life. Sometimes I see in [...]

My Thought on Sarcasm

Rocco — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 16:29:14 +0000

My friend John Bergquist recently asked some great questions on his blog – “Sarcasm? | The JohnFlurry Blog http://bit.ly/ebkq8N” As I was typing my response it so happens that it tuned into a blog post for me. :) — Some would say that I probably over use it. Alas, I am getting to where Justin [...]
