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…

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 Speak Jesus
This blog has been a few years in the works… since even before I had this blog. The Lord finally gave me the release to write it, so we get to see how this goes together. My brother and I grew up in a Christian household. Our parents got saved when we were both very…
