To this day, I'm not sure how many times second grade me watched and read The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I remember pretending I wasn't interested in the book so my mom wouldn't have the satisfaction of being right that this was indeed a good recommendation - the best book I'd read in all...

I have known loss And I have known gain. I know what it is To wail in the night And smile in the day. And I know who it is that remains unmoved in it all. Whose hand I clutch and kiss In both storm and sun. Whose eyes remain ever fixed When mine rove... Continue Reading →
What a crazy few months this New Year has brought. On a global scale we have dealt, well - are dealing with - the coronavirus. As followers of Jesus, who have been cured from the ultimate disease - sin - and trust in the sovereignty of God and in his promise of eternal life, we... Continue Reading →
Hello friends! I realize its been a while since I've put anything up and that I'm a little late to the game in recapping my favorite things from 2019.

I've been working on my July in Review post the last few weeks (yes, weeks - I know, I'm pathetic) and I haven't been able to finish it. Everything about it is finished except for the last section. For the life of me I can't bring myself to summarize my two weeks away at camp.... Continue Reading →
Alrighty, another rather contemplative post. But as I've been winding down from all the stress of the school year, I've had the time and peace of mind to look back at myself and decipher the strange not-myselfness that I felt for the bulk of the year. The other night, when talking with my very close... Continue Reading →
I knew Till We Have Faces would be good. After all, everything CS Lewis writes is pure prosaic and philosophical genius. But I didn't anticipate the affects of its goodness. This one was one of those books where, after I finished, I sat in awe, not capable of anything more. Even two weeks after picking... Continue Reading →
