Navigating the twist and turns of life. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Do You Need a Shot? February 15, 2014. I sat on the table waiting for the doctor. Minutes ticked by while I surveyed the room. Doctor instruments lay on a smaller table. I stared at them looking for the needle. I hate those long pointy things that prick skin even if the liquid injected is the antidote for my pain. Why does it require pain to relieve pain? Will the shot hurt? Yet, a week later, I sat in the doctor’...

Culture, religion, food, social justice, cute animals, etc. Should I Be Here? August 26, 2012 4 Comments. When you’re an editor or a journalist, it’s easy to stand on the outside. It’s your job, in fact. You have to be objective. You have to be critical. You have to ask the hard questions. Earnestness is the enemy. Am I just engaging in Christian tourism? Christian tourism has become a vogue criticism of short term missions trips in the past several years. And not without reason. Visiting a devel...This ...

Reflections on mission, leadership and faith. November 13, 2013. One of the most frustrating parts of parenthood is the realization that you can’t make your children happy. You can supply them with their needs: love, shelter, food, clothes, safety. You can buy them toys. You can even take them to Disney World but you can’t make them happy. Happiness must be chosen. I was reminded of this in my most recent battle with my 8-year old daughter who refuses to learn to ride her bike without training wheels.

Reflections on mission, leadership and faith. Monthly Archives: February 2014. The Role of Guilt. February 7, 2014. I couldn’t stop throwing up. I was 12 years old, and was laying in the back of our family’s mini-van on our way to Colorado for a week of vacation. I couldn’t keep anything down, so my parents equipped me with a small trash can that they would stop and empty every hour or so. I was convinced I was dying. The doctors got it out just in time. Last Wednesday night, the group of men I meet with...

Reflections on mission, leadership and faith. Monthly Archives: June 2014. Staring Into the Hollow. June 4, 2014. I love this picture. I took this picture of my daughters while on a hike through the woods of the Leon River bottom. It is a picture that captures the wonder of childhood, as it emanates a sense of awe, fear, curiosity and excitement. Those feelings and moments are all too familiar in our childhood and unfortunately, all too absent in adulthood. May today be a day filled with a sense of awe a...
