Welcome to the New

Ladies, gentleman, I have finally found a permanent home. One that fits. One that doesn’t sound like a soap opera. One that will allow me to be nerdy, artistic, idiotic, and everything in between. Update your blogrolls, and enjoy. It’s been a fun ride.

The Secret Bathroom

Let’s be honest. Most of us love our churches. If you don’t love the church you’re at, let’s talk about it. But for many of us, the thing that we love most about our church, the place we worship, isn’t the music. Or the people. Or the bad coffee or the good coffee.
It’s the secret [...]

Vicarious Revolution

I love blogging. Don’t let my post-lack fool you. We’re undergoing some restructuring here at TWIBAB. But I love blogging.
I also love twitter. If you’re not on it, I’m sending Hoshi to come berate you until you are. It’s important.
I love reading “the big blogs” out there, blogs from pastors and church leaders and writers [...]

My Red Faced Dilemma

I, Sean M. Brage, have finally joined the future of mankind: 
I got an iPhone. Shiny black and marvelescent.
But that’s not what this post is really about.
Amidst what became a 5-day ordeal, I discovered that switching cell-phone carriers is probably as painful as having someone else’s face grafted onto your own via dirty scissors and bailing [...]

My Impenetrable Cereal Box Fort

Today is one of the most exciting and fulfilling days of my recent life. 
Now, church was great, as was hanging with the Catalyst band.
But the reason today is so great is because I got a desk. A desk of my very own for my room.
“Sean, that is the lamest thing I’ve ever read on your [...]

Boys and Girls

Hey y’all, nothing new to post about today…
Except to pose a dangerous question, courtesy of FlowerDust…
“Can boys and girls be “just friends?”
Is it okay for guys and girls to be “just friends?” Maybe?
What about married guys and girls being “just friends” with people of the opposite sex?
I could go on for days about why I [...]

Falling away with you…

This hasn’t been the most bang-up week. And it’s Monday. So far I’ve been mauled by the family cat (6-inch scratches, puncture wounds,) which lead to much swelling and pain. This begat a doctor’s visit, which in turn confirmed a wicked infection in the back of my hand. Enter prescription antibiotics and hopefully things will [...]

Deadly Distraction (pt 2)

The killer part of my distracted life is realizing that the same things that distract me from having fellowship with God will distract me from having fellowship with the people I care about and love. Those same distractions are there, tearing down my human relationships as my relationship with God starts to break down.
Case in [...]

Deadly Distraction (pt. 1)

Does that sound like a crappy 1980s splatter movie or what?
“The students at Murder Gulch High school were always distracted…until things got deadly.”
Sounds good, right?
Wrong.
Last night at small group we were talking more about Fellowship; this time we were talking about having true fellowship with God. A recurring theme and struggle for us seemed to [...]

20 cents for overtime.

Right now, I feel as though I have over-committed and under-delivered on about 3,000,000 things. This is a recurring habit in my life. I want to say “yes” to everything that comes my way, and then I end up buckling under the weight of it all. I’m really bad at saying “no;” I’m terrible at [...]
