My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean I am actually doing so. But I believe that [...]

The unknown path
These days are full of joy and uncertainty. As the nightfall arrives earlier and the air begins to cool, we sit at the kitchen table each evening for dinner and the talk inevitably turns to the future.

Rob and I spent some time chatting with LMU students last night about Creation Care. Officially, he and I were speakers on the topic for a “Theology on Tap” gathering. But, as seems to continally be the case, I found that as we ministered, so we received blessings tenfold.
These young men and women were mostly seniors [...]

Autumn
One of my favorite parts of our Utah trip was being able to be present to the onset of autumn. The southern part of the state had just begun to see its early nights of frost, especially in the higher elevations (this was taken at around 9,000 feet). It seemed a sacred thing to be present [...]

The Journey Begins
“Every now and again take a good look at something not made with hands—a mountain, a star, the turn of a stream. There will come to you wisdom and patience and solace and, above all, the assurance that you are not alone in the world.” –Sidney Lovett
Yesterday my birthday began with waking up at 5am [...]

Birthday Wishes
On this day of my birth, I feel grateful for all of the blessings in my life. Thank you, Lord, for the growth of this past year, even the more difficult of growing pains. Thank you for the joys, for the new revelations of your love, for the opportunities. Thank you for the dreams. Thank [...]
