I just posted four new pieces of poetry that I put together earlier this year. I've spent a lot of time this year reflecting on my story, this is just part of it put to art. It's called Testimony, feel free to check it out and the rest of the art I posted on the right of the page.

Jason. I must say that at Ex Nihlo tonight, those excerpts from your testimony were powerful.
A struggle that I don't completely understand, but have seen unattended to in others lives. It produces a strong sense of hope to fight the stuggles I am presented to at times and also see and know a story like yours. Good stuff man.

Indeed, the honesty is inspiring. I think a little of my honesty shows up sometimes in my haikus, but not like this. Awesome, dude.
To tell the truth, I've not experienced that struggle to this level, but being drunk enough one night to miss playing a hockey game the next afternoon (!) freaked me out. If only I'd believed in God's promises sooner! I would have been able to play. But our experiences help make us what we are. And having been there, we can help those who are going that direction and help turn them back. That's probably the best light I can put it in. From this perspective, I'd say be glad you don't understand it. "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, etc. think about such things."
But then again, it wasn't Jesus that turned me from drinking, it was hockey. Hehe, that's just weird when I think about it.
hehe, Jesus has used more obscure things than hockey to get someone walking in the right direction again...
Thanks for the encouragement guys. You'd like to think that if you were that transperant about something that intimate that people would be as encouraging as you've been so I appreciate it!
