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.

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
