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…

Death, Adventures, and Birthdays
Today would be my dad’s 53rd birthday, and as I do every Sunday morning, I went to church. Since we’re still in Colorado, my best friends and I went to Legacy Church, pastored by Jeremy Pearsons. The story of how we found the church and then decided it was worth going during our vacation is…
