Read More Serving Man: Days When I Love My JobThis life thing is so fascinating. When I was at home with my parents and siblings I had to do what my parents (and big sister) told me to do. There was little room for questions and definitely short shrift for any rebellion or refusal (especially from the big sister). As I grew up though, […]
Read More Some Reasoning Going OnToday I was having some fun on the ol’ Facebook catching up with one or two photos that needed to be tagged. As I was tagging them it occurred to me just what memories can be sparked by a photo. So many stories wrapped up even as you tag those who should be remembered on […]
Read More A Photo Tells …The assumptions we make, eh. It’s like every now and then certain things that I take for granted crop up and challenge me to rethink whether or not it’s worth accepting.

Read More Change of ExpectationsIt is very difficult to be a follower of Jesus Christ and not be an irritant to your culture.
