Warning: This may not be a pleasant read for some...
Listen, I am not trying to step on toes here. I just have to get this off my chest.
I am meeting a lot of people these days that have an OJ discrepancy. What is the discrepancy? Apparently, pulp.
Quiet a few of my "friends" seen to dislike pulp in their orange juice. In fact, they dislike like it so much that they buy orange juice cartons with "NO PULP" stamped on like a brand on a cow.
This didn't seem like an issue at first, but now my friend's disregard for pulp has left me digging in the back of grocery store fridges for my pulpy OJ. All of a sudden, the powers that be have seen it fit that the selection of pulpy orange juice be reduced...not cool.
Whats the problem with pulp? Its orange juice. Its the nature of the beast. If you don't like pulp, then maybe orange juice isn't the juice for you. Your not cut out for the fruity-goodness of a pulpy juice. Maybe your an apple juice person, a grape juice person.
All I am saying is I miss the availability of my chunky gift from the Lord.
Sorry if this was a little deep...just breathe.
Thanks for the inspiration Caleb.

Serendipitous Occurrences
Do I worship a perfect and amazing God? Without hesitation, yes I do. Although I lack currency in God’s graceful monetary system, he gives me grace anyway. I worship the Lord for what A.W. Tozer deems his “infinitude.” God knows no boundaries, therefore, everything God does and is also knows no boundaries. This is one of the many reasons I worship Him. I don’t maintain a full understanding. Upon questioning, say we did know everything about God..what kind of god would he be? This is characteristic of faulty-ancient religions-small headed gods with little-to-do.
All this to tell you an amazing story that only be traced to God’s greatness.
As you know, I just moved to Nashville,TN about a month ago. I took a job as an electronics salesmen. I thought I would really like it and was looking forward to “moving up.” Sadly, I struggle through miserable days, and loathe getting up to go to work.
About a week and a half ago, I had begun to pray “Lord, please let me find something new, but if not, let me glorify you in this place.”
About a week later, I pulled into the parking lot of my apartment complex around 10 am. I open my door and a 14 month old boxer(the canine kind) jumps into my car and starts licking my face. This procuring little doggy belonged to gal by the name of Jill. Jill had been playing Frisbee with this pup in the grass by the parking lot. As you know, talking to strangers is no different than talking to a friend for me. After kicking the dust around a little, we got into a conversation about “what we do.” As it turns out, she works for a company that was hiring. Great pay, great benefits etc..I was a great fit for the job. I handed her my resume, and a week later I interviewed and received an offer!
Get from this story what you will. Hopefully you see evidence of God’s hand in my life. What an answered prayer.

Breathing Automatically: Flying by the seam of my...well fitting jeans.
Blog attempt #1
Epic fail? Your the judge.
Here I am in Nashville, TN, pursuing dreams and things with a cup of coffee at every turn. "Kyle, why are you wasting time on a computer when you should making money or finding a place to play some guitar?" Well friend, this is time WELL wasted. You see, I just relocated here a month ago, and I am not taking anything for granted. By keeping my self updated here, I am keeping myself accountable to living life appropriately...serving the Lord, serving others. By keeping a steady hoist here on the world wide web, I am keeping my ideals at bay. Keep me accountable.
