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

We went biking yesterday with a group from the church and I think we counted about 35 people that came out for the event.  It was a really great time and I think everyone had fun meeting some new faces.  We stopped in Harpers Ferry for ice cream and some time to talk.  At one [...]

Discernment…

How would our lives and our faith be different it finding God’s will was like using a magic 8 ball?  Would it mean more or less to us knowing all we have to do is shake a velvet covered Jesus and wish upon a star.  As hard as it often is I truly believe that [...]
