Made for Chuck Taylor


My feet have always been made for Chuck Taylor's. I know that's a bit of a presumptuous thing to say considering; but it's not like I want to promote anything. I'm not; I'm just saying that ever since I bought me my first pair of Chuck Taylor's My feet felt like they were home.

I remember high-school when I bought my very first pair. A lot of my friends were in to mainstream rock bands like Linkin Park, Slipknot, and what have you. It was that time that I didn't really get mainstream rock and I wanted to be different. That's when I first saw and heard Incubus on TV. watching their video of Pardon Me and Drive frequently on MTv got my attention.

I know that you're probably thinking that Incubus was mainstream; but coming from the high-school I was in, I could say that only a handful of people know what incubus brought to the music scene. I bought my very first record of them which was Make Yourself and I was hooked. I started to sing and play them on the guitar, sharing with my friends as best as I can. That was when I started to wear Chuck Taylor's. Since I was trying so hard to illustrate why incubus is, I thought I might as well show them. Thus my obsession to black shirts, high notes and Chuck Taylor's began.

After a few years, I began to grow up and my taste kind of broke away from my music preferences. I started I dress my age; forgetting who I was when I was a teen hyped up and figuring our who I was; typical teenage angst. Recently my girlfriend bought be Chuck Taylor's for Christmas and it was awesome. I wore them and walked around; back to where I was when I was in high-school; realizing that we don't really change into someone different, we just happen to forget who we are from time to time. An it's important o fin something, be it by accident of intention, to remind ourselves. No matter what happens, my feet will always be made for Chuck Taylor's.

The Dove That Was Slain

Recently, an image has been circulating online of a dove tied and used as a prop during an Easter service. The public reaction has been swift, with many expressing deep outrage over the distress and injustice inflicted on a helpless, innocent creature. If you felt a pang of anger or sorrow seeing that image, your reaction is deeply human—and biblically grounded. Proverbs 12:10 tells us,  "The righteous care for the needs of their animals." We are hardwired to recoil when innocence is subjected to suffering. But as we process this outrage, especially in the wake of Easter, there is a profound biblical parallel we must not miss. For centuries under the Old Covenant, the sacrifice of innocent animals—including doves—was not an accident; it was a requirement. Leviticus 5 outlines how those who could not afford a lamb were to bring two doves to the altar to make atonement for their sins.  The unblemished animal bore the cost of human rebellion. The sight of an innocent creature l...

Psalms: The Glorious Worthiness of Our God

In a world constantly clamoring for our attention, where our focus can so easily drift to ourselves and our immediate circumstances, the Scriptures call us to a higher and more satisfying pursuit: reflecting on the absolute worthiness of God. True worship, both private and corporate, begins not with what we feel or what we need, but with who God is. Today, we turn our hearts and minds to two powerful psalms that illuminate God's character and His inherent right to all praise. Scriptural Illumination: Our passages for today are Psalm 100:4 and Psalm 96:4-9 (ESV) . Psalm 100:4 (ESV): "Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!" This verse, set within a psalm that is a joyful call to worship, speaks to the very posture we are to adopt when approaching God. The imagery of "gates" and "courts" evokes the temple, the place of God's manifest presence. To enter with "thanksgiving" and ...
