Combining My Journals
Some of you know that I have been keeping (well, "keeping" is an overstatement) two separate web journals for some time now. The ridiculousness of this idea has finally dawned on me... I know, I am slow to catch on, but don't forget that I'm from Indiana. Anyway, here is the full content (entries and comments) from coastlandblog.com. Coastlandblog has now been decommissioned, but I might write something in this category from time to time, on this site. With that in mind, I've added a "CoastlandBlog Archive" section and an "RSS" subscription button to the sidebar.
If you see something in here that impacts you or inspires a comment, I'll certainly still see it and will be glad to engage in the dialogue.
Peace.

Thank God for MTV!
MTV leads the way in Reality TV. They invented the idea a bunch of years ago with a show that is still on the air, The Real World. One of their newest innovations is a reality show called, Juvies. I’m not a big fan of reality TV but this one really captured my attention. Sheryl and I had it on last night. I was stunned to discover that this show is recorded literally blocks from where I lived for 15 years! Any one reading this from Northwest Indiana will instantly recognize the abbreviation, LCJC, Lake County Juvenile Center. Can you believe that? MTV saw fit to film a show about juvenile delinquents in my old hometown...

Praying from the Spleen (Part 1)
Not too long ago and after a stretch of several miserable days, I had a long solitary drive to think and pray. By accident, I think I stumbled upon something transformational. I just started talking to God about everything. I told him everything I was feeling and thinking. I didn't censor myself in anyway or try to say "the right things." I was just eviscerating to the Lord. After about 10 minutes of that I heard myself saying something I'd never said before - as I said it, it was literally like garbage started erupting out from deep with in me. I started to cry uncontrollably and actually had to slow down and pull the car over. I have no idea how I came around to it, but what I heard myself saying was...
