When.... When you wake up in the morning and are actually super excited to open God's Word... When you save $700 on car insurance by switching to Geico (literally)... When you work at a place where laughter is never in short supply (even if you're often the target of such laughter)... When you are reminded… Continue reading When….

The August In Between
We often find ourselves talking about our lives in seasons, or stages, or as chapters in a book. A few weeks ago one phase of life (student) came to an end. This weekend new phase will officially begin (professional). And here you have... the august in between ... A celebration of 31 years of marriage… Continue reading The August In Between
In the Mean Time
The journey to move to NY (again) begins tomorrow (Sunday)! A picture/summary post of my entire August vacation is in the works. In the mean time, I'll even give you a sneak peak with these images of us in the early stages of loading the car: We managed to fit my roll-top desk, chest, my new… Continue reading In the Mean Time
Dinner with a Perfect Stranger
I recently read the book "Dinner with a Perfect Stranger" by David Gregory. This may have been a quick read (aka a short book) but it was packed full of stuff that really made you think. Concise but completely worth it. This would be a good book for anyone who maybe has grown up around… Continue reading Dinner with a Perfect Stranger
too much…more than enough…
I don't even know where to start. A little over a week ago I began a journey. At first glace it simply looks like a 3 week vacation between "the intern" and "real DCE". But I prayed it would be more. And more it has been. Again... I still just don't know where to begin. I've started… Continue reading too much…more than enough…
31 years
Dad was getting impatient and wanted to get his family home after a long day of travelling. The torrential rain and dangerous winds originally causing them to pull off the highway had slowed. However, the rain came down so fast that they now found themselves flooded into a random medical building parking lot only 20… Continue reading 31 years

Hello all! Things are going VERY well at Workcamp 2011 in Hurricane, WV. First thing’s first…. as you read “Hurricane” throughout the next few days… whatever you do, DO NOT read it as “HurricAne”.

A year of lessons… a year of grace.
It’s crazy to think that one year ago I was sitting with my in my brand new apartment, surrounded by boxes, in a town (state) I had never been to before, after driving 3 days across the country, wondering what in the world the year ahead of me held. Now, I am truly blessed to… Continue reading A year of lessons… a year of grace.
No really… it’s FREE!!!
Yesterday, the First Trinity High School youth put on a car wash. From 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. they washed car after car after car and did it all without taking any money. While it was no surprise to me that some people tried to give us some money at first, it was interesting to… Continue reading No really… it’s FREE!!!
