There's something magical in the moment of writing a song. This thought penetrates your mind, and anchors itself deep within you. Sometimes it falls in too far, and you lose track of it, lost in the recesses of your mind, waiting for you to dig, dig, dig and eventually, painfully drag it out and body… Continue reading Simply Called Magic

There’s Beauty In A Variety Of Viewpoints
There's beauty in a variety of viewpoints. I've gone back and forth about whether or not that was okay to say. I have an inner struggle in my heart about whether or not that's a safe phrase to base a whole blog post over. I have a lump in my throat just thinking about all… Continue reading There’s Beauty In A Variety Of Viewpoints
30 Things I’ve Learned In A Year Of Being On A Church Staff
A year is a long time. There's a good amount of growth that happened, lessons learned, opportunities seized... and did I mention lessons learned?

Everything feels slower and more difficult. Holding a guitar and… Continue reading The Diagnosis and The Light

The Day After Election Day
"The storm is howling fiercely, and I want to run away. But the sun will rise tomorrow, and will bring a brand new day." -Jerry Ham I found myself upset last night. Not because who I personally wanted in office wasn't elected to office, but because of the things I saw in response last night.… Continue reading The Day After Election Day
We Can Be One: My Friends, My Family, My Neighbors
There's something about taking a step out into the world alone. It's freeing, yet terrifying. There's no handbook on it, either. It's completely independent of any direction. The possibility of being lonely, the possibility of struggling, conversely pulling against the possibility of succeeding and thriving. All the while the journey is never really walked alone.… Continue reading We Can Be One: My Friends, My Family, My Neighbors
