About
I'm married to my wonderful wife of four years, Jen. It's been the best four years of my 26 by far. We have one handsome son, Evan. He's amazing. I work for a political consulting firm as the marketing director. I love the Church even though sometimes I can't stand church (note the small and big letter 'c'). Basically, I'm journeying with lots of other people who want to know what it means to be a Christian today, working in seemingly non-church types of jobs yet involved in some kind of faith community. I graduated from Lincoln Christian College with a degree in ministry, now I work with senators and such. What a strange journey. But its been great and I love my job, my co-workers, my boss and living in Florida. If you read this regularly, hopefully you'll learn more about me. I hope for this site/ blog to be an outlet for my writing. Glad you're here.

missing you
Missing you.
It's your presence.
Not the smell of you or the crying.
I don't necessarily miss the busyness.
I can do without the dirty diapers.
But you two, I can't do without.
I miss you. And you.
Just being here, that's what I miss.

authenticity
Are we even capable of being truly authentic? This is a question that has been nagging me lately. I am feeling pretty inauthentic. It's not a meltdown or depression. It's simply busy-ness. It's being too busy to explore the deep life of my soul. So I rely on pat …

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know."
Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany!
