(Un)Distractifying: Making Room for What Matters Most
A new beginning. 2016 lays stretched out before us, blank as the first page in a new composition book, waiting for us to fill it in one experience, one adventure at a time. My deepest desire for this next year is to experience God’s presence, love, power and provision in a profound way, and to…
Drastic Measures
I’m going to have to do something extremely difficult in the next few days. I need to think long-term, and that means taking action now so that I can be in a better place a year from now. Friends, Family, guy in Singapore, you heard it here first: I’m getting rid of Netflix. Here’s why….
A Christmas Wish For You

Five Things that are Pretty Okay
1. Pizza pants- flannel loungewear covered in slices of pepperoni pizza. Winning. 2. Solomon Burke’s -“Cry to Me”. Look it up and do a little dance in your kitchen. 3. This clip of John Travolta acting like an alien robot. 4. Yucca fries from Chicken Fiesta. Richmonders. Get in on this action. The honey mustardy…
A Sweet Story: The Candy Bomber
Two sticks of gum. That’s all Royal Air Force Pilot Gail Halvorsen had in his pocket as he stood facing a sea of children through the chain-link fence separating East and West Berlin.

Falwell, You’ve Got Some ‘Splainin To Do
I cried after watching this video. Can you imagine being one of the fifteen to twenty Muslim students that attend Liberty University after that speech was given? What if you were in the auditorium when he said it and you felt the eyes of the people close by glance over at you, either with hatred…
