Waking Dreams

"So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, and the things we cannot see will last forever." (2 Cor. 4:18)

Brad Jones. Dream chaser. Film maker. My friend. My inspiration. My hero.

Despite his immeasurable physical obstacles, Brad's Waking Dreams - a film birthed through his unparalleled imagination in collaboration with Jake Carah's MFA creative project in Documentary film - premiered August, 2014. 

Moreover, although imprisoned often, beaten more, shipwrecked, and stoned nigh to death, the Apostle Paul penned: "That is why we never give up...For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!" (2 Cor. 4:16-17)

How are great men great and courageous men courageous? A gaze fixed on Jesus rather than self or problems.

Mind check. Where's your focus, beloved?

One ship sails East

And another West,

By the self-same winds that blow,

Tis the set of the sails

And not the gales,

That tells the way to go.

Like the winds of the sea

Are the waves of time,

As we journey along through life.

Tis the set of the soul

That determines the goal,

And not the calm or the strife.
