A New Fire for Christ

If you have read the About Me section of this blog, you will know that I recently moved from Dallas, Tx., to Gainesville, Fl. to be part of what is called "Organic Church." We don't have a pastor, paid clergy, programs, a big budget, or a building. Nor do we meet on Sunday mornings. We...

Unknowingly a Blessing

I was talking with my landlord this afternoon. (Me and a friend rent out a room in her condo) She was telling me her story and the things she's been through the last few years. She has been pretty ill these last few years up until recently. There was a point where the doctors didn't...

No family, healthy family, lives alone in their own isolated worlds. The brothers and sisters play together when they're young, help eachother through struggles as they...

Living in the House of the Lord

Hello Readers, My first official blog, and what better subject than my first week in Organic Church. The bride of Jesus. The reason He created in the first place. The ekklesia. I moved to Gainesville, FL. from Dallas, Tx. three weeks ago to experience Christ all over again. And what a Christ He is! My first...
