To all mothers out there, Happy Mother’s Day! Today, I give thanks especially for my mom, my mother-in-law, and my grandmothers. I have been blessed especially because of my mom, but because of all of these wonderful women. They continue to be my cheerleaders- loving and supporting me, and when needed, challenging me. They always know though (and most importantly I believe) how to love … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day!
A couple days ago I wrote some more about transitions.

Time really isn’t an issue, in fact in a good conversation you might even lose track … Continue reading The Beauty of Conversation

As the rain falls and pours outside, it’s hard not to be a little nostalgic for the Pacific Northwest. Even as it rains, and its unseasonably cold here, its hard not to be grateful for today and the opportunities it brings. Last week I was reminded what gratitude can look like in different ways. First, as I mentioned previously, it was my wife Allison’s birthday. … Continue reading Gratitude and Gifts
I don’t usually write family related posts on my blog, so it is very rare that they come two posts, right after one another. But I think you will enjoy or at least appreciate today’s post. Today, it is my amazing and wonderful wife Allison‘s birthday. In the spirit and theme of this blog, here is a quick look at how I see Allison as … Continue reading Happy Birthday to Allison- A leader, neighbor lover, and church and ministry doer
