The Missing Peace of The Story

My 3-year-old daughter loves doing puzzles. The only problem is that she also loves using the puzzle pieces for other games. This means frequently we are almost finished putting a puzzle together when we realize that we are missing a piece or two. It's frustrating when you are missing the piece you need to complete … Continue reading The Missing Peace of The Story

Behind The Scenes

When I was 16 I worked for a community theater company as a stage hand. In between scenes I had to move props and sets. Some of the sets were so large they even had to be on wheels. When it was our turn to work the curtain would close and we'd rush in and … Continue reading Behind The Scenes

Grace Trumps Hate

After one of the most confusing and unpredictable elections in recent American history most people's emotions are running high. Social media has been flush with very colorful opinions. I intentionally try and stay out of political posts or conversations but perhaps this is an opportunity worthy of chiming in. I don't have a Political Science … Continue reading Grace Trumps Hate

Tattoos On The Heart

"(Our) rules and practices have merely deadened our humanity, instead of setting it free to develop richly, in all its capacities, under the influence of grace." - Thomas Merton Yesterday my children broke all the rules. It was a day of constant warnings, discipline, and teaching. Finally, at bedtime, I had reached my limit and I … Continue reading Tattoos On The Heart

Life Is A Hashtag

There is something we will never fully comprehend – our mortality. No matter how hard we try to ignore it or outlive it death comes all too quickly. Okay, I realize this is sounding pretty depressing all of a sudden but in order to truly live we must admit how temporary this life really is. … Continue reading Life Is A Hashtag

Jesus Is Not For Rent

My wife and I have once again embarked on the stressful journey towards buying a home. We have enjoyed our renting days but the time has come to step out into a new chapter called ownership. Suddenly, I realized there was a spiritual lesson going on under the surface. All too often we treat our … Continue reading Jesus Is Not For Rent

Purpose In The Pain

In the last 3 months I have been sick more than I've been well. I don't like being sick. I don't suppose anyone does. But in these months, I have felt the weight of these trials heavier than before. The fear of doubt and the bitterness of comparison have haunted my thoughts at times and I … Continue reading Purpose In The Pain

That’s My King

The hour was late. The dew was starting to settle on the ground around Him. Alone, Jesus laid on the ground in silence. What was there left to say? He’d known since the beginning of time that this day would come. It was His Father’s plan. It was the only way to fix what man … Continue reading That’s My King

In Your Face Grace

If there is one thing people don’t ever want to do it's clean bathrooms! And, a close second is being the “bad guy”. No one wants to be the bad guy. Perhaps being the “bad guy” is not always such a bad thing though. We all squirm and get sweaty palms just thinking about it … Continue reading In Your Face Grace

Follow The Leader

Being stationary has never been my thing. I’m more like a nomad. I think I’ve moved close to 22 times in my life so far. Several of those moves had to do with my parents missionary vocation. But, many of those moves had to do less with vocation and more to do with vision. If … Continue reading Follow The Leader
