How do you enter a pool? Do you cannonball in, making the biggest splash you possibly can? Or do you walk down the steps, ease yourself in, hop around the cool water until your body adjusts to the temperature? I’m the latter. At least when it comes to everyday things, I like to ease into […]
Weekend Fun and a Tale as Old as Time
It’s been a long while since I did a Weekend Fun post or any blog post for that matter. I’m emerging from NaNoWriMo, which is like getting off a boat after being at sea for a while or returning home from a long vacation. There’s an adjustment period where I have to re-learn grace as […]

The Case for Ministry
I have been part of a ministry in my local church since I was 14 years old. That would be 17 consecutive years (as of writing this post). I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly side of ministry, and yet I still believe serving in a ministry of your local church is […]
