I’m taking a break for a while. It may be a couple of weeks or a couple of months. Probably not as long as the latter and just a little longer than the former. I have a lot that I want to say and I want it to be bold and honest and real. Right [...]
Road trips for me are always both really exciting and really nerve-racking. I love the idea of getting out and going some place new and then I really hate the idea of not being home, the discomfort of not doing my usual routine or something similar, and not sleeping in my own bed. But I’m [...]

And so after several days of prayer regarding this matter, I was flipping through my Bible and somehow ended up in Colossians 3: Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, [...]
I came across this from way back in my “upload pre-formatted text files” days of blogging and remember really liking it, at least back then. Some of the stuff is pretty dated and irrelevant, but I just thought I’d post it anyway. It’ll be a part of my regular archives as soon as I get [...]
