been awhile.

So, clearly it’s been awhile since I’ve posted last. Not for lack of adventures or passionate rants about loving my Droid, hating when parents mess up their kids, or whatever else it is that normally hits me.I’m going to shamelessly blame the fact that I now manage two blogs.Life has felt like a blur of hanging out with people I love, challenging them when I have to, learning the ropes in a new job, doing things… … Continue reading

engaged.

One of my friends got engaged last night.  Years ago, we were the amigos. Attached at the hip for almost an entire year. Where I went, she was. She knew about my past, what hurt, who I was and even who I had a crush on (and yes, we were long out of high school).  There were a ton of late night talks, lessons learned from each other, and embarrassing stories told. Best friends. For a… … Continue reading

Just never gets old. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/) … Continue reading

family.

As we started middle school camp last week, one of leaders prayed that our students would get “to feel just a taste of family.” It made me tear up then, but by the end of the week after several conversations, that sentiment became more of a goal than a just a phrase.

camp.

I grew up going to and working at one of the best camps on the planet. Great boss, good programming, people who love Jesus and some really fantastic kids. When I had the chance to talk about real life with those kids, they had questions about baptism, getting along with their parents, what it really means to “dedicate their life to Jesus,” and if they should get baptized.  Today, I work in a completely different… … Continue reading
