Exploring everyday theology through family fun and ministry.

If you have stumbled upon this patchwork I call my blog, I hope that you find something that peeks your curiosity. This is a collection of thoughts, experiences and encounters about whose I am in the story that God had placed me within. I have been blessed with an amazing wife Katie who is a pastor too, and a daughter, Eden, who is simply a delight. They remind me everyday what it is to be loved. Enjoy
