Resolutions are for Quitters!

It's a new year, and that means there are millions of people joining gyms and by Feburary, those same people are back to eating pizza, chips, and drinking pizza (not that there's anything wrong with that) and then the process repeats in 365 days. I will not be one of those people!

I Always Worry

A part of my youth ministry time really had me questioning if they were getting it. In the end, I was the one who got it.

New Site Look

"my Cove" has updated it's look and I'll do my best to explain why. For the first time, it isn't the "I needed a new look" but a deeper explanation of why I changed. We are all on a road together and I was ignoring all the tell tale signs that I was screwing everything up. Don't worry, I'll continue to post like before but now more frequently.

Your Music Sucks

There's a time and place for worship music, however there isn't any reason why all worship music sounds the same or why church worship leaders are using the same boring songs as every other church. How is that helpful to worship?

Déjà vu

You've been in this same spot before, at the same exact moment in time, the same smell, the same clothes: you've done this same thing before but you haven't done it before.

An Old Kind of Church Drama

Most of the church drama is seen during Lent or Advent but so many of non-church goers are driven away by the everyday drama that goes on in a church and many non-believers use this drama as their soul reason on staying away. What gives?

Country Mouse in the City

My Biography

10:36 AM Jesse

My name is Jesse and I am a 30 year old father, husband, friend, son and disciple of Lord God and His son, Jesus Christ.  Personally, I call Him Jesus, but some people have other names.  I'm a full time graphic artist, full time student going for a Journalism degree looking to become an author one day.  An actual author, not some half-whit who has his own internet store and publishes his own stuff, unless I start my own publishing company but that's for a different post all together.  I'm a fan of movies, music and the arts in general.  I have a loving daughter and beautiful wife and live in an area that doesn't know if it wants to be country, suburbia or the city.  It's like the area is bi-polar or something.  I like to see things in more than one dimension and have issues with people whose mind isn't open to others opinions or disagreements.  Maybe one day I'll wise up and post a photo of myself.

Grace, peace and God bless,
Jesse
