There was a season recently where things got quiet. Not on the outside. Not in life (dealing with cancer was not quiet at all). Not in ministry (it’s been a lot and a lot of fun). But in writing, definitely quiet. Writing has always been my outlet of reflection and contemplation. I’ve kept a diary […]
Begin Again
It’s been a few months since I sat down to write here. This space holds my thoughts, stories, and lessons God teaches me about life and faith. But for a long time now, it’s gotten harder to write. I’ve always felt the need to wrap things up nicely. To always have a lesson or positive […]

I’m 40! It’s a milestone birthday, but the truth is, I don’t feel any big shift. I’ve been waiting for it to drop, that je ne sais quoi feeling, I don’t know what, but it’s something. Yet I got nothing. I had a great celebration with family and friends, but that undefinable feeling that was […]

Stop Asian Hate
“You know what immigrants sound like? The passion of the Christ when they’re killing him. Disgusting.” Those were the words said to me by a man at the grocery store. Said so casually. Said so full of hate. I have been trying to write this post for a while now. The words don’t seem adequate […]
