Simple

by Kenny Hyder on May 24, 2008

My wife said something the other day that I think was brilliant.

She said: “I’m tired of all these people that pretend to have super deep relationships with God when they don’t.”

The point being, what is so wrong or immature with a simple relationship? Why are so many people wrapped up in being complex about a subject, when there is no requirement to do so? Can’t I just be myself and do my thing? Is there no honor in that? The last time I checked, all the guys in the Bible spent years and years doing the simple thing without any extreme unction to go from zero to extraordinary in 5 minutes.

A guy I like to listen to said: “We are into microwaving, God is into marinating”; I find that’s mostly true, the things in life that I stop trying to control are the things that I usually find out that later come to fruition in me.

ShepKnuck

January 10, 2008

Yeah thats right, I said ShepKnuck.. It’s going to be the new thing I’m going to be committing the majority of my ‘ministry’ time to. Basically it’s a way to gather people and share through storytelling, music, art, poetry and most importantly discussion. The gatherings will be held most likely at a pub or bar [...]

Belief or Feeling?

November 14, 2007

The other day, I had the pleasure of visiting with a friend of mine who showed up in town un-expectedly and un-announced. I was delighted to see him and his wife back in town, if only for a brief period of time. We spent hours catching up and exchanging stories of our summers and all [...]

Social Injustice vs. Consumer America

April 24, 2007

A couple weeks ago, I watched the movie Blood Diamond with my wife and some friends. Apart from being a wonderful film, this movie had quite the moving affect on me. For the first time, I felt a strong desire to move over seas to help the poor. Now, that is not to say that [...]

Bonding and Splitting

April 16, 2007

Living in Santa Barbara is a bit of a unique experience. Where else can you find 3 major universities in a city of less than 100,000 people, right next to the beach? For me personally, there are parts of it that I love, and parts of it that I love – not so much. One [...]
