Diversity of Friendships
Yesterday, in one day I communicated with friends in Scandinavia, Jamaica, and Iraq. Oh, and Kenya the day before. How diverse is your circle? When you love people from all over the world, you care on a personal level. It’s not just some abstract idea, of a sea of people who don’t look like you do, anymore. These people are more like us than many give them credit for, because many people don’t know anyone beyond their own “bubble”. They want the same things, and usually much

4 Years to Plan
President Trump’s first term wasn’t great, but he didn’t do things that would completely change our Democracy either. Then came the January 6th riots, and attempts to stop the peaceful transfer of power that has existed for 250 years. At the time, almost every American was outraged. Even among Republican circles, it was too much. Then came the spin doctors and the propaganda machine, and what was once shocking was now normalized. Trump didn’t get a lot of what he wanted durin

Understanding God’s Creation; Some things are not knowable.
I know that this subject is one of the most complex and divisive topics in the Church, and in the world today but I want to share my views on this subject, because there are people that I love and adore on both sides. It’s not my intention to cause controversy but this subject, by its very nature does. I understand the arguments on both sides and in the end I had to come to a place of loving all of the people involved. I’m certain that many will disagree with my understanding

Circle of Relationships
Growing up I led a nomadic existence. My father had been a Green Beret and after his service we made several moves across the country as he tried to find his place in the world. Because of this I attended 13 different schools before finishing high school. This created in me an inability to understand friendship in healthy ways. I could make “friends” anywhere, but I didn’t know how to keep them. It was most difficult with girls. Girls are hard… They typically didn’t like the
