  • Travel

    Found out today that I’m going to be spending a couple weeks in England at the end of May, followed by a couple weeks in Japan at the beginning of June. I’ve managed to negotiate a break in between, so I’ll be home for a four-day weekend over Memorial Day. The plan is that to […]

Face to Face: Meditations on Friendship and Hospitality by Steve Wilkins is a convicting, no-nonsense look at the significance of human interaction to Christian living. Part one, “Friendship”, examines the fallacy of […]

  • Our New Site!

    Tom had an idea to put up a family site. I’m really excited about keeping it up to date. A fun and useful tool 😉
