It’s Not What I Want…
I have a confession… I lied. Not to you guys, specifically, but I need to air out my correction more publicly. Last week while my mom and I were cleaning a house, the client and his wife were talking to us and he was telling me of this vision he had for unmarried people in…

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…

The Practice of Slowing
One of the things the Lord has been teaching me this year is the importance of Sabbath in my life.

The Memories We Leave Behind
Years ago, there was an older gentleman near my neighborhood who began going on nighttime walks with a dog that, to my eyes as I drove by at 40 miles per hour, seemed to be hobbling. One night as I drove by, I was shocked to discover the dog only had 3 legs. I’m not…

Keep An Eye Out
This one’s for you, Bekki. 😉 As I was trying to go to sleep tonight, I turned on my go-to “sleeping music,” K-Love 90s. A song came on that was big around the time we lived in Washington State, and it caused me to go through the whole timeline of what happened in the world…
