The Bourne Supremacy does a great job of picking up from the “Bourne Identity”. I love Matt Damon in these movies. He is a cerebral action star who knows how to kick ass. At some point this man needs an Oscar for Acting. Next up is the “Bourne Ultimatum” and then we should be ready to see Jason Bourne.
I enjoy following people who blog like I do. Personal blogs are a snapshot of someones life. Every post is hearing them speak to the world. Making connections with people is also something I do for a living so this is kind of an extension of that. Plus I am a nice person, so.
Why do you follow me? What do you enjoy about my blog?

I am in the process of importing my posts from a couple of Tumblr blogs I have run over the years to an archival blog. Bringing the the content from Tumblr to WordPress will make it easier to reblog/repost some great posts I have done in the past. Several things led me to migrate to WordPress.com, a decision I don’t regret. Backing all those posts up is something I also want to do in case the new owners of parent company Yahoo, Verizon decide to do something dastardly and destructive to Tumblr. So look for vintage posts from me to come to this blog in the future.
Bullying is a form of intimidation often identified with school rooms, locker rooms and internet chat rooms. But the church? The refuge where we are admonished to love one another as Jesus loves us?

I have been in the church for the vast majority of my life and the church is supposed to be a haven and a sanctuary for people. Places of worship are to be places of love, understanding and safety. From my own experiences its not always the case.
Bullying is a thing people deal with in the world and even the church. There are a lot of reasons why it happens. None of us is perfect so that is why we turn to a higher power to help us be the best we can be. I, myself have been bullied in church and even in the church related college I graduated from.
This article from my hometown newspaper tells the story of why bullying happens. Its more complex than just someone picking a fight. Houses of worship can be wonderful places of community and connection but in many places there is dysfunction just like an any family.
I can be hard headed at times, most men can be I think. We all try to do things our own way and we won’t listen to the advice of others often to our detriment and demise. Of course others in our lives can be difficult and fully unwavering in what they want to do and how they want to do it. I guess each of us are stubborn about one thing or another, that isn’t a bad thing though, or is it?
