All of us, so simple... We eat, we sleep, we live. We work to live, and work takes our life. We breathe, we bleed, we try. All of us hurting... We feel, we hurt, we hide. We hide the pain and the pain hides us. We fake, we ache, we wonder why. All of us … Continue reading Simply, Complexly Human
What Moving Has Taught Me About Living
Moving can teach a thing or two about life. I've seen a fair share of new addresses. While there are military and missionary families that have much higher stats than I do, I've moved abroad twice and lived in rental houses, permanent homes, guest houses, basements, and campers. And as I'm in the middle of … Continue reading What Moving Has Taught Me About Living
There’s More: a new series
I'm embarking on a new adventure. God willing, I'll never be the same. And you're invited. What is it? Well, the good news is this adventure doesn't involve death-defying acts or a big budget. The bad news is I have no idea how this is going to work. But that's what makes it an adventure, right? … Continue reading There’s More: a new series
The Jonah Within
There are few Bible personalities I really connect with. You know: Ruth was so good, and Esther was fearless and beautiful, and Mary was amazing. Paul is hard for me to get my head around, and the disciples, well, they were interesting and funny, but relatable? Well, maybe not so much. But start talking about Jonah, and … Continue reading The Jonah Within

The woman looking at my paperwork glanced up and verified my hometown. "How'd you get here to South Dakota?" she said, almost in passing. Picturing the miles between where I started and where I ended up, I smiled and said simply, "Via some back roads." Isn't that the case more often than not? How often do we … Continue reading Along the Back Roads
The Power of the Impossible
What a crazy few months it's been! Thought with this month's post I'd give a bit of an update. I recently got back home from my working traveling adventure. Three months, fourteen states, and 12,000 miles later, I'm energized and ready to dive into another writing project. My next manuscript, In Lieu of a Plot, will … Continue reading The Power of the Impossible
If Infinity Is the End
For one moment last month, I thought I was going to die. And now that you probably have a vision of me flipping a car or falling off a roof, I must admit it was nothing so dramatic. I was struggling to breathe, choking on a bite of food I'd hoped would give me the … Continue reading If Infinity Is the End
