    In February of this year, I realized for the first time that I didn’t trust God. I didn’t want to give my life over to him, to fully submit to Him the future of my family and my children. I didn’t even realize I was doing it, but I was keeping them from Him, as…

    I have never been a pacifist, nor am I now. I believe in defense of self, family, home, and freedom (not necessarily in that order). I have never been a violent person, nor prone to act out in aggression, but I do get passionately angry about injustices done to innocents. I am against abortion. I…

    I went to school for graphic design, realizing in my 3rd year that it wasn’t what I wanted to do with my life. In 2004 I graduated with a BS in Communications (with a major in Graphic Design…confusing I know). I applied for jobs and graphic design agencies, but didn’t find anywhere that wanted to…

    Almost 4 years ago now my wife and I went to the other side of the world on a missionary journey where we posed the question: Is this where we will live the next 20 years of our lives? It was a grandiose idea. We were young and passionate and eager to be used for…

    Below are 5 conditions that must be met in order for me to accept a facebook friend request: 1. If I saw you in public, I would recognize you. If you have a profile picture, and I can’t for the life of me figure out who you are. I’m gonna ignore you. 2. If I…

    I heard this song the other day. It literally moved me to tears. The lyrics are true and beautiful. At the end of the song, the lyrics change to “Father Lead me…”: So Father, give me the strength To be everything I’m called to be Oh, Father, show me the way To lead them Won’t…

    For anyone who stumbled here and doesn’t know me, let me say right now that I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus’ teachings and the life he modeled for us are the key to the salvation of the world in every sense. I’m more of a conservative than a moderate, I didn’t vote for…

    I have struggled with anxiety since the night I saw the ultrasound of my daughter at 12 weeks. I’m not sure exactly why, from what I can gather, I think it’s the realization that I am solely responsible for the well-being and security of my family. Perhaps it’s because I didn’t just become a father,…

    I am not, nor have I ever been, excellent at any one thing. This used to bother me. I had friends who were talented artists, or musicians, or terrific athletes, but not me. In being a singer, guitar player, and designer, I always knew I would never be the best, nor ever reach fame and…
