I titled this weblog “Fighting to Stay Awake” not because I’m on the morning schedule, But because I want to be a man who is found watching and waiting when Jesus returns.
I don’t want to be lulled to sleep by the complacency of our culture or any other distractions out there. I want the Word of God to be alive on my inner man.
I will continue to post about this, that and the other, with an occasional side-note about Mr. T, but what I want most of all for this blog is that it would be a place where we (a.k.a. me and You the Reader) can get little pieces of fuel for our own burning hearts.
Here’s to bonfires.

Has there been confusion around your title? I really dig it. I’ve been thinking a lot about that lately, the whole thing about how night is coming, and I need to be found watching and waiting. I need to be wise and have oil when the Bridegroom comes. I need Him to give light to my eyes so I don’t sleep the sleep of death.
They way you put it just shows me that we’re great minds, you and me…Coffee and revelation–it doesn’t get much better. In fact, I was talking to Marcus in Atlanta about how there’s just something right and proper and good about sipping on a hot beverage while talking about Jesus with your friends.

No Confusion. I just want all my peeps out there to know what’s up. I want you guys to know that this blog isn’t just a place where I display my thoughts for all the world to see, but I’m actually hoping to accomplish something on here. I want to give you all a reason to read beyond deathly curiosity or immense boredom … I want you to be addicted to my raging insights.

I do visit it often, but if it becomes an addiction, He will ask me to give it up, at least on GBF! Love your bloggin’ mind! Or is that heart? Incite, Inspire, and Ignite!
