Amidst Unnecessary Conflict

Larry — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 01:56:46 +0000

This is something I’d written down earlier this year while I was going through a series of conflicts within an association I’m involved with. I wanted to share it with you: Humility w/o foolish surrender. Temperance without compromised values. Dialogue without useless bickering. These are things that I seek but for all my efforts, the conversations that [...]

Fleeing arrogance to find… more arrogance

Larry — Sat, 23 May 2009 06:10:17 +0000

So, Veritas Fellowship has been partnering with Soli Deo Gloria for about 9 months now. We actually attend Sunday morning services at Soli Deo Gloria on 4th and Pedernales. I lead the music and occasionally preach (I actually preach this coming Sunday on Luke 19:11-27 , The Parable of the Ten Minas). I’ve enjoyed the [...]

Being the Church

Larry — Wed, 20 May 2009 17:35:42 +0000

Read this first: http://faithparley.blogspot.com/2009/05/something-happened-last-night.html I was there (I’m the Asian-American Brandon mentions) and I felt such an electricity last night looking around at all of these pastors who share the same heart. The concept that 7 men representing 4 church plants could get together in one living room and start talking about how they could effectively [...]

…on the Starship Enterprise under Capt. Kirk

Larry — Wed, 20 May 2009 16:57:27 +0000

I watched Star Trek the reboot at the Alamo Village on May 7th at 7:00pm in 4K digital projection (which is astounding by the way… probably going to go there for ALL movies from now on… the clarity is incredible). Being a closet Trekkie my entire life (well, while I was younger, I was an [...]

Changed in the doing

Larry — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:57:40 +0000

Can writing change you? Does writing somehow redeem the writer? Can the act of placing words on virtual page actually cause a tangible change in the person doing the writing? The answer is, of course it can, but, this thought somehow never occurred to me. I was reading something by Linford Detweiler of the band [...]

Over the Rhine

Larry — Sun, 03 May 2009 06:11:18 +0000

Tonight I had what I consider one of the best musical experiences in my life. I saw Over the Rhine at the Texas Union Theatre with my wife and two great friends. If you haven’t heard of Over the Rhine, I commend them to you for a variety of reasons – whether you be a [...]

Me… unBoxed, part one

Larry — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:33:22 +0000

Until now, my (intended) audience has been centered on people who have shared much of my experiences with life and faith. If you’ve read my blog, you’ll note that I have felt challenged to expand my horizons and destroy my preconceptions. Through this process, I have ventured out into territories completely foreign to me and [...]

25 Random Things About Me (yes, from FB)

Larry — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 14:53:38 +0000

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you. (To do this, [...]

Polemic on Christian Politics

Larry — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 16:01:23 +0000

I hesitate to write this article for a variety of reasons: The likelihood of offending brothers and sisters in Christ is great (though I do not wish to do so) My views are contrary to the norm and may be used as fodder by enemies of the Cross to prove points I do not support I am not [...]

Inconsistency – my consistent companion

Larry — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 21:03:50 +0000

As is evidenced throughout this blog… I go through a consistent dry spell of writing. Why is this? Well, honestly, it seems I lose interest. Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve always got something to say and an opinion about everything, but it seems that I go through a period of being completely uninterested [...]
