A Doctor in the House
I’m flying high from a successful defense of my dissertation yesterday. Literally, I’m flying on a plane home from England as I’m writing this. And by the way, that is the proper use of the word “literally” because 1) it is not a metaphor… Continue Reading “A Doctor in the House”
I’m Alive Again!
Jesus has risen from the grave! And so have I! Yes, this has always been true in the spiritual sense, but “resurrection” has meant for more me this year. As many of you know, I’ve been toiling away at my dissertation for the past… Continue Reading “I’m Alive Again!”

The Bible Applied, the Faith Defended
As I write from New Hampshire in my parent’s house (vacation time with my family,) it’s hard to believe it was just a day ago I was playing the final song of the summer at the Defending the Faith Conference. The final conferences of… Continue Reading “The Bible Applied, the Faith Defended”
Gratitude
It’s been an amazing few weeks for me and my family. If I could sum up what I’m feeling in one word, it would be: gratitude. I just finished my fourth and final youth conference of the summer. I always struggle to find words to… Continue Reading “Gratitude”
And his name shall be called…
Apparently, I have a perfect track record when it comes to calling what the gender of our kids will be. I don’t actually remember that to be true, but my family says so. So when I felt pretty strongly that we were having a… Continue Reading “And his name shall be called…”
