2013 was the last time I got the opportunity to visit Ireland. I have been twice for ministry opportunities. Now, I have the opportunity to return this July. I.Am.So.Excited. Each time I go there, I fall more & more in love: with the place, the people, and spreading the Love of God across the ocean. … Continue reading Ah, Back to Ireland.

Neighbor
But, here's the thing - we don't have to know the whole story if God is moving us to action. Our only responsibility is to act.
Sometimes, Little is Just Enough
I want to build a Tiny House... This isn't a shock to those who know me. As a matter of fact, I've already begun dreaming, planning, pricing, downsizing, sharing, and researching. Most importantly, I've started praying... I've even got a name for it (which, I'm not ready to share, quite yet). Here's the thing though, … Continue reading Sometimes, Little is Just Enough
Gratitude
The world holds so much ugly tragedy, sometimes we need to take a few special minutes to dwell on the good things around us, the good done for us, and the good we can do for others.
Absorb the Silence
You ever care so much for someone that you would take all their pain? But, we can't...it's not possible.

My heart … Continue reading Home for my Calling
Living the Dream
It has been so long, I feel, since I have written. It has been about a month...and I feel a little like I have fallen off the face of the planet. I have spent the month buried in books, finishing paper, wrapping up paperwork, terminating with clients, training at my new job, and teaching kids … Continue reading Living the Dream
One Day – A Lesson in Boldness
It was a cool October Saturday; it started off dreary, but by afternoon, the California sun was shining.I was just getting over a bad cold and still feeling awful. I wanted nothing more than to stay home in bed, but instead, I had a mandatory all-day class. So, as I'm prone to when I don't … Continue reading One Day – A Lesson in Boldness
Confidence
In my last post, "Don't dress stupid", I quoted a line from the most recent HIMYM:"The real challenge is walking up to a [girl] I've never met before and somehow talking to her with words from my mouth..."Exactly...When I'm with my friends or coworkers, I often find myself saying, "yeah, and I'm the quiet one … Continue reading Confidence
