So last year at the Cypress Bible Church Junior High Guy Retreat (or Event), rightly called EPIC (which I have enjoyed attending for three years) on the last day out at Forest Glen at breakfast, I started filming a promo

Balance In Between
If you know me well, you will know that there’s a word, a key element of life, that I uphold and value and pursue (or at least attempt to pursue) in all my pursuits: balance. Now I’m no dancer nor
To You
I wrote this piece back in high school, and it’s located over in the Archives of my earlier writings. I still find it rather profound and feel it is just as relevant as it was five years ago. In many
Evan Christopher Weppler’s Random Update: Wheaton College Ed. Vol 2

10 New Pieces of Tech (Which Soon Will Be At The Top Of Your Wish List)
There is a lot of new technology coming out– so much, in fact, it’s hard to stay on top of it all. Here are just a few that have tickled my fancy. 1. Little Printer http://bergcloud.com/littleprinter/ First, watch this little
A Blank Journal
I love a blank journal. Especially if it comes from Paperblanks… Seriously, if you ever want to buy me a birthday or Christmas or Arbor Day present, get me a Paperblanks journal, please. Like this, or this, or this, or
A Very Potter Senior Year
This was finally released to the Internet on Friday, March 15th! I am proud to have been among the first 300 people to watch the show, alongside my sister, a fellow Star Kid fan. If you haven’t yet seen A
Broken
You must remember. I must remember. The reason we all need grace, from God, from others, from ourselves, is because we are all broken. I’m just a well dressed wreck / I’m just a made up mess Working hard trying to
Goals Devotion
A while back, I wrote this devotion for our summer staff at Forest Glen Christian Camp. It’s rather informal, but I feel it’s also rather informative and makes you think about the importance of goals. I do find it interesting
Dreams, Part 1
What are dreams? No, I don’t mean what happens when you sleep– but dreams of what we hope to do, who we hope to be, how we hope to change the world. Hopes. Desires. Ideas. Dreams. It’s interesting how we
Backwards Uno
This game originated at a Sonic in Huntsville, TX, July 23rd, 2011. The game is epic. The game is awesome. The game is Backwards Uno. Goal: To be the last person playing OR have the most cards at end
Two T-Shirt Designs
A couple of years ago I thought up these two t-shirt designs, and I decided to finally do a higher quality mock-up (still not that high quality, but better than a scribble in a notebook!) What do you think? Kids
The Christian Journey: The Hero’s Journey Home
Over the years, I have helped present dramas in a variety of contexts: private and public schools, big and small churches, from Baylor’s Ferrell Center to New York City and down to Costa Rica. Not based on my merit, of
3 Thought Provoking Books
If you need to pick up a good book to get the brain moving again, try one of these– three of my favorite books of all time. A Generous Orthodoxy Brian McLaren looks at the broad spectrum of Christianity and
The Odd Liturgy, Part 2
Sometimes we need prayers for the odd times of life. This is why I have The Odd Liturgy. These prayers I pray daily, though not every day. They are tied to daily activities and rededicate, tag, redeem, hallow, sanctify, redirect,
Did You Know?
Did you know any of these amazing facts? Count the ones you knew already and post your score! Did you know… that the Shire theme from Lord of the Rings… …was inspired by the tune of the hymn “This is
Thoughts
I’m a few days behind on my posts, but who knows who actually reads these things anyway. Thought I’d merely throw some inspirational or challenging thoughts up here– hope they do some good. (That last one was made by me…
BIBLEGRAPHS! – John 1:1-18
Flannelgraphs. Pictographs. Biblegraphs. I remember when I was younger, before I knew how to write, despite my lack of comprehension of letters and words, I still had stories within me. So what did I do? I wrote with pictures. I’m
Friday: The Phenomenon
Just about two years ago, a certain song was blowing up on YouTube and on the charts. This song was loved and hated by the masses and made a mess of money for this new “star.” This song… was named… Friday.
We Are All Absorbians!
Now, before you balk at my the title and the weird picture and think, “Oh no, Evan has joined some sort of weird cult!” take a step back, breathe, and give this post a read. The picture, by the way,
Blast from the Past: Bible Adventures Script
When I was in middle school, I got involved in a drama ministry called Bible Adventures, where we performed dramas for 1st and 2nd graders at Cypress Bible Church. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I

That Feeling
What would life be like without those feelings? Feelings of happiness, of wonder, of sadness and delight… We humans are feeling creatures, not just brains in meat sacks. God has made us to feel, and while life shouldn’t be spent
