Stop and Take a Breath: November 2012
http://ashgora.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Stop and Take a Breath. Just clearing out my head. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Note: some of this will be written in Spanish because of the connections. I will translate it in parentheses, even though it sounds better in Spanish.). While it's perhaps not the greatest analogy and perhaps not the best situation, I was hit with the realization yesterday of how much bachata. There's a song that Jesús Adrián Romero does called " Pegado a Ti. Stuck to You) that completely relates to this theme. Basically...

Stop and Take a Breath: December 2012
http://ashgora.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Stop and Take a Breath. Just clearing out my head. Monday, December 24, 2012. Perhaps not on December 25, but still it happened. Perhaps not with Mary riding into Bethlehem on a mule and pausing at different homes, taking her time to ask every single person if they could spare a room for the night, but it still happened. Perhaps not with exactly three wise men or los tres reyes magos. In fact, we tend to glorify this event so. We forget that Mary could have begun to contract at any point during her arriv...

Daniel Russell: Story
http://danieljrussell.blogspot.com/2013/12/story.html
My thoughts and prayers. Friday, December 20, 2013. What is your favorite memory with your parents? What was the event in high school that had the most significant impact on you? When was a hard time in your life? Pancakes and Stories was just the pinnacle of my interest in the idea of a story, though. Since high school, I have found this concept intriguing. Donald Miller wrote a book called A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. How will this affect my. Repeat the Sounding Joy! Repeat the Sounding Joy!

Daniel Russell: Every Effort
http://danieljrussell.blogspot.com/2013/07/every-effort.html
My thoughts and prayers. Tuesday, July 2, 2013. Wow, it's been a while since my last post.). If only I spent the same amount of time, energy, and effort in my own life, to present myself spotless to God! So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless, and at peace with him." 2 Peter 3:14.

Daniel Russell: February 2013
http://danieljrussell.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
My thoughts and prayers. Wednesday, February 13, 2013. As I walk down the street, the sun is shining and the snow is melting. It is a beautiful day. Sin is heavy on my heart, though. Its deceit rearing its head. I am happy. I am satisfied with the day, the weather. However, something much deeper lingers within me, and I cannot enjoy it. Sin grieves my soul, sucking the joy out of me. As I stare at the sun through the trees, I am unable to enjoy the beauty. A God who gives me the freedom to feel forgiven.

Daniel Russell: May 2012
http://danieljrussell.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
My thoughts and prayers. Thursday, May 31, 2012. If God is faithful, all of his promises must be true. If all of his promises are true, then everything that happens to those that love Him and have been called according to His purpose are for their good. If this is true, then there is absolutely zero reason to worry. But the problem is we don't believe this. Monday, May 21, 2012. Why I'm Getting Baptized. Why am I getting baptized at all? First, a preface to what I believe about baptism:. As the people th...

Daniel Russell: February 2015
http://danieljrussell.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
My thoughts and prayers. Thursday, February 26, 2015. The Voices of Fear. I've been reading a book by a guy named Jon Acuff. It's called Start: Punch Fear in the Face, Escape Average, and Do Work That Matters. Acuff is a Christian (you may know his name from the Stuff Christians Like blog/book), but this book isn't a Christian book. It's in the Business/Motivational/Self-Improvement section on Amazon, but since he is a Christian, I wanted to hear his thoughts on doing work that matters. The beautiful thi...

Daniel Russell: March 2015
http://danieljrussell.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
My thoughts and prayers. Monday, March 2, 2015. Hope For The Present. Or something along those lines. But that one line ate at me. I kept thinking about it. Is that the message my posts were sending across? That there is only hope down the road, as long as God decides to reveal it to us? If God has written us awesome stories, it means we are living in the middle of them right now. Let me explain with two very different stories. Were these experiences failures? I am a firm believer that the answer is no.
