• Thoughts From The Peninsula

  Yesterday was a rough day emotionally. It was full of relational bridging and life-or-death decisions (I don’t want to revisit that right now, but it wasn’t me or any of my loved ones, in case anyone gets concerned). Yesterday was full of connection with good friends and love from overbearing dogs who missed their Auntie…

• Surprise Friendships

  “Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful friend who can find?” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭20‬:‭6‬, ‭ESV (emphasis and word change are mine)‬‬ I haven’t talked about it in a while, so I’ll reset my life story briefly: my dad was in the Army from 8 months before I was born until well after…

• Resist, We Must Not

  The Lord has prevented me from blogging so much because I was doing it for the wrong reasons. Those reasons are the same reasons He asked me to get off social media. So, this blog has been here for the most part untouched while the Lord and I discuss what exactly it is I’m supposed…

• Blimey Camp 2024, Pt. 2

  This is part 2 of 3 about my Blimey Camp experience last weekend. This is going to be the longest blog since this was the only full day of Blimey Camp. Yesterday, we left off with a question: did the Lord wake me up in the morning? What time? The answers to those questions are:…

• Blimey Camp 2024, Pt. 1

  This post will be 1 of 3, for each day of Blimey Camp. These may just be story posts, or they may have a lesson… I may do one that is an overall lesson after these 3… we shall see… This past weekend, I went to Tennessee to meet up with a bunch of other…

• Finishing Well

  Today I did something I really never thought I’d do: I “retired” from running. What does that mean? Well, it really means that, for the foreseeable future, I will no longer be enrolling in races like this. The above certificate is from the Plaza 10K event in Kansas City, Missouri. This was my second time…

• I Have A [Not-So Secret] Secret…

  I haven’t been able to write about my tattoo because it seemed weird to talk about. Not for any particular reason, but that month that I had issues writing (June), I tried more than once to blog about this and it just never seemed like the right time. I guess that time is now. Back…

• IDK, Dude

  I haven’t been able to write a whole lot lately. And I promise, it’s not for lack of trying. I sit down to write and my mind goes blank. Well, that’s not going to help anyone, including myself. Last night, I finally dug out of what was the longest month of the year followed by…

• One Year Ago…

  Of all the things I thought I’d be doing in a year’s time from this time last year… blogging wasn’t one of those things. It’s not that I didn’t like blogging; ever since I was about 16, I’ve had different blogs on different sites. With the introduction of social media in my life, blogging seemed…
