It’s a typical Wednesday for me. On these days I start at 7:30am and don’t usually get completely done with my day until 7pm that night. I only come home for a little bit to grab what I need and head out the door. Every time I leave Gavin asks me the same question, “Where … More “Where You Going Daddy?”
You turned 4 years old yesterday! Man you have gotten big! Where has the time gone! You are still my little man. In reality, you always will be. Even when you don’t think so. Pretty soon you will be all grown up. You will make all your own choices. You will date girls. You will … More Letter to My Future Son
Today’s post is from my wife, Jennifer. She brings a certain perspective of a wife, mother and woman on a foreign mission field and how it effects us all during the holidays: After 4 years living abroad and celebrating most of those holidays in NZ, it still doesn’t feel normal to have Thanksgiving in the … More Missionary Wife’s Perspective of Thanksgiving
Yesterday morning Rylee pulled out her Bible and read the Creation Story with us before going to school. She read with enthusiasm (like I use to). She read in with eyes full of amazement (like I use to). She read believing it was all possible (like I use to). She read like a little child. … More She Read…

It feels like this because every time we try to catch our breath or sneak a private moment for just the two of … More Revolving Door
My kids have had a night time ritual ever since they were little, and even though, as they have gotten older, it has been less frequent, they still love it when I sing to them. Both my kids have a favorite song: “You Can Always Come Home” by Andrew Peterson. It is a great song … More You Can Always Come Home
My family has been away for 3 weeks. I need them in my life. They make me smile and laugh. They bring joy in my life to a whole new level. When they are gone I miss them and all I can think is “come home soon” and then I count the days till they … More Come Home Soon
The other day Rylee said this prayer: “Thank you for helping us when we are broken!” The Gavin followed by asking Jennifer how God fixes us. He then went on to list that God fixes all our body parts, and how he fixes our hearts and when he lays us down, he holds us in … More Faith Like A Child
We are all a part of a family. Some families are crazier than others, some are more “Brady Bunch” than others. Families come in all different shapes, sizes, personality types. But the thing that makes a family is our willingness to be in the lives of each other. To dive deep into a relationship with … More A Different Family
I don’t remember all the details of my wedding day. But not for the reasons you might think. My memory has faded out some details because I was so focused on not messing or not fainting. I don’t get nervous about many things, but to be completely honest I was freaking out. Then she started … More New Life & Freaking Out
