Take Up a Different Story
Have you heard of Wendell Berry? He’s an author, poet, and farmer (my kind of guy). I stumbled across his name and jumped into some of his writing and was captivated. One of the hallmarks of good writing is if it resonates or rings true, and his work surely does that. One favorite poem has…

What I Am Thankful For- Summer 2020
I hadn’t remembered that today was the first of the month until sitting down to write in my journal. Moreover, it’s the start of an entirely new season. Seeing the number one at the top of my page felt like an invitation.

If there’s anything I have learned about myself during this sometimes delightful and often frustrating quarantine season, it is that I am always looking ahead. I’m sure somewhere I’ve always known this. God is gracious with revealing our faults to us.

The Best of Me
I brush my teeth twice a day and floss nearly every day. I read several pages of a book almost every night before bed. I take Hemingway for a walk almost every evening after dinner.
