“You are glowing.” “It’s so good to see that smile again.” “You just seem like a weight has been lifted off of you.” “I feel like I haven’t seen ‘Nora’ in three years.” “I feel like I got my wife back.” The last two weeks, these are just some of the phrases those closest to… Continue reading Changes
My posts have been less and less frequent on here over the past year. I've been through a lot. Not making excuses, just an explanation. When I write for this blog, I like to see myself as a tour guide... and maybe sometimes a life guard. I just want to help people. But you can't… Continue reading Rhythms
The Winter Solstice is quickly approaching. On December 21, 2021 the sun will be the furthest away from us here in the Northern Hemisphere and we will have the shortest amount of sunlight. Other people refer to it as “the darkest day of the year.” I sat in a doctors office a few weeks ago… Continue reading The Light is Coming
My sister, Randi, is five years older than me. We fought harder than any two sisters and we loved harder than any two sisters. We have been each other's champions and loved to annoy each other.

LORD willing, this time next year you will be through the Police Academy and starting as a Rookie Police Officer. Other than (hopefully) the occasional overnight stay for holidays,… Continue reading Dear Daniel,
This tree in the parking lot of Kroger took my breath away today. I looked like a weirdo taking 1000 pics. I've struggled with how to put this story into words.

I love people. I believe there is still good in this world. I am crazy in-love with Jesus. I want to spend my days helping people, loving people (ALL people), giving to people, and pointing people to Jesus. I want to reach the end of my life, having shared in the sufferings of Christ and… Continue reading Thoughts.
