I just have to say that I’m so encouraged that things don’t always go my way. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but it’s something I’ve come to realize about life.
A couple weeks ago we made a quick trip to central PA. This week marks four years since we moved from Lewistown, where I was a [...]
One of my favorite (and most practical) verses in all of Scripture reads like this:
The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil. (Prov 15.28)
I’m reminded of this truth because it’s something that I, as a human being with emotions and a mouth, need to always [...]
i love it when certain things grow — my kids, my love for God + for people, my understanding, wisdom, discernment, my relationship with my wife.
growth is really good…in most cases.

last update, and parting words…

i need [...]

one of my earliest passions in life is writing. i’ve always enjoyed expressing myself through written words. i do like blogging, but blogs are hard to keep up with. i want this to be different, though. i want this to be personal. i want it [...]
