Friday, October 20th, 2006Some have asked about this blog title. It’s purposefully spelled “away” with words, not “a way,” to reflect the idea that talk, by itself, is cheap and hypocritical. How we live our lives speaks much louder than the words that come from our lips. Paul put it this way: “And I, brethren, when I came [...]

Moore “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.†~ Anonymous “Our love started at forever and ends at never.†~ Anonymous [...]

Monday, October 16th, 2006Again. Ain’t gonna spill the beans for all you would-be encountees — the surprises over the course of an Encounter weekend make it all the more special — but suffice it to say that God doesn’t disappoint. This Encounter was extra special for me because Judah became the youngest participant ever (out of 1,000 in [...]
