"If we maintain the open-mindedness of children, we challenge fixed ideas and established structures, including our own. We listen to people in other denominations and religions. We don't find demons in those with whom we disagree. We don't cozy up to people who mouth our jargon. If we are open, we rarely resort to either-or: either creation or evolution, liberty or law, sacred or secular, Beethoven or Madonna. We focus on both-and, fully aware that God's truth cannot be imprisoned in a small definition. "
— Brennan Manning
"Waving his head in a nodding fashion."

More about Chris:"Son of Him. At one time, that is how you introduced yourself, son of so and so(men anyways). Sonship is a big deal and I'm seeing more everyday how it's not my bloodline that ever really mattered, but my spiritual line.
A little about me: I spent 29 years of my life looking for the love of a father I never had as a child. I tried to find that love in so many places and in so ...Expand for more
many ways but was left broken and hurt inside which I escaped through alcohol, sex/porn, and self centeredness. I eventually came to a crossroads in my life in Jan 09. I was unemployed, about to be evicted, had burned every bridge to the island I had put myself on, and was drinking a half a gallon of vodka a day to just exist in complete despair. I had tried before to escape the grips of addiction through God, but instead used it as a substitute medication in place of the alcohol. Pure religion. I knew it would only be through Him, but I didn't know how to just give up and let Him save me from myself(at least who I thought I was). He cornered me and gave me a choice to keep living dead, or die and actually live for the first time in my life. I gave in and decided I wanted to live not knowing at all what that really meant because up until that point I had been walking around dead inside. The process since then, letting Him become real to me and be the Dad I had always been searching to have has been nothing less than the greatest and most indescribably sweet gift, one I only had to real-ize was already there for me: Him. His love was that love I had yearned for since I can remember and it was always His plan to lead me to Him. I unintentionally and intentionally hurt a lot of people though on that journey and if you are one of them I truly am sorry and hope you will forgive me. The reality is misery, hurt, and pain all point to something beyond what we see, to a reality full of love, comfort, and rest. He has everything we are all searching for and more, freedom; freedom from lies, shame, and guilt.
I'm married to the most amazing woman in my life!".
