This was more fun than I ought to be having with biblical characters. Click here to see if you can make Jesus can kick Satan's butt. It took me a couple of rounds but in the end... Satan went down! Have fun and let me know how it went for you.

Unplugging
This coming week I will be at camp serving as a counselor for high school youth in a wilderness/spiritual discipline camp.
The timing for this camp is perfect considering I've been neglecting my own spiritual journey these past few months. My passions can be found in the two-fold aspects of the camp. We'll be doing everything outdoors from sleeping in tents (or under the stars like me), cooking all of our food over a fire, canoeing etc... And all the while, we'll be doing the spiritual disciplines like Lectio, meditation, exercise, bible studies etc...
I am looking forward to turning the cell phone off, parking the car, being away from the computer, being nowhere near ice and getting the #@%% OUT OF THE CITY!
I pray that this will be a time for me to have some spiritual renewal in the midst of my crazy life right now. I look forward to sharing some faith reflections once I get back!

A pacifist-kife-toting Dunkard
I just ordered my knife for Tracker School. A friend of mine recommended it to me and I even got to play with his for a week before I ordered mine.
Ok, I know there are those out there who think "Randall is Mr. Brethren Guy or a staunch pacifist" and this comes as a shock to you that I am interested (and always have been) in knives and bow & arrows. It was guns that I was never fond of nor was allowed to have growing up. Knives and bows however were a different story.
Man, this felt good to post again.... I need to be better at keeping up here instead of neglecting it so much. Much more to come.

Stepping into the warrior life
Most of you know that my favorite movie genre is the big Historical Epic/Adventure films and this past week I finally got to see one of the best of that genre. 300 was the first film in a long time that I felt I had to go see more than once. And I did!
There wasn’t an aspect of the film that I didn’t enjoy. In the midst and long after the film, I began reflecting on my own longing for a Warrior life. No, I certainly am not going to sign up for the military! I believe that there is another way, a better, healthier way of being a Warrior.
I remember that it was a year ago that I had an awakening and a healthy understanding of what a Warrior looked like. I suppose that I need to revisit those goals and begin to live them out as best as I can.
One of those goals that I have wanted to achieve for nearly two years will finally happen as I pack my bags for the Pine Barrens in New Jersey at the end of August and take the Standard Course at Tom Brown's Tracker School. Maybe it will be the launch pad for me to fully immerse my being into the life of a Warrior.
