I love reading. As long as its not required, assigned or non-fiction. I love stories. I love the power that words on a page have to fuel the imagination. This love of reading was formed in High School under my teacher Mrs. Coon. There are a few things I remember about her and that class. She was a petite package …
#Winning
As I write a lot of my blogs I look back at the process of revelation I am having on where I am at and who God is in the midst of my brokenness. I write because I process out loud. Im a verbal thinker. My hope in being transparent about were I am/was and what Ive gone through is …
No, the new yes
If you have ready any of my previous writing a few things are apparent. One, Im a writer but not a grammatical genius. I have run on sentences that rival the great wall. Two, I don’t write puffy encouragement pieces that will illicit singing birds and pictures of daffodils. When I write I write as a way to process. Sometimes …
Detox…losing my religion
I was raised by two amazing people who both were ordained pastors. This upbringing was unique and different compared to what other children my age were raised with.

Overwhelmed…
Im so overwhelmed at the support we have received in the last 72 hours. To be honest sometimes ministry is one of the loneliest places. In moments like these past few days when we see a tsunami of support that literally leaves us tumbling in utter disorientation at the massive wave that has overtaken us, I realize just how much we are not alone in ministry, in life …

Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle….
So as I came home to finish up my message for tomorrow I couldnt shake but one thought. Spending time with my daughter. I couldnt shake it. So as I sat at the computer and started getting things up and going she just sat laughed and chilled. I couldnt shake my desire to be with her and spend time with …
Insights of a tired father
I’m sitting here writing this as my daughter sleeps not more than three feet from me. It’s 11pm and I have not slept more than 1 hour straight since 1am this morning.
