Staying The Course…

I have realized something about myself. I don’t do well when I get behind. To be more accurate, if I am not leading or running with the pack, I seem to lose interest, fall further back…and quit. Whether its something important like working through a Bible reading plan or something meaningless like playing a Words with […]

All I Ever Have to Be

My friend Brewster likes to make fun of the old school Amy Grant albums that live on my iPhone. But I have no shame. Because every now and again, I need to go back and time and appreciate some tunes from another day. From a day where things seemed more simple. From a day when my […]

On Thursday evening I returned from almost a week at sea with a crew of dear friends, several dozen like-minded acquaintances scattered throughout North America, a rested body, mind, and spirit, and the inevitable sneaky pounds affixed to my mid-section (If only there was a “Gain It” app, I could have killed it on this […]

Life as a Journeyer

I love to travel. I come by it naturally, my parents passed along a serious case of wanderlust to me and my sister. I love adventure. I love meeting people. I love seeing the world. I love experiencing different places and cultures. And I love trying exotic cuisines, unfamiliar restaurants. I love the fresh perspective […]

The Counselor

Today I am guest posting over at Deeper Story, Tales of Christ and Culture. It is an incredible collection of intimate stories from some of my favorite bloggers. Go check it out, and get lost. I am honored that they are allowing me to share from time to time. A couple of months ago at […]
