I’ve mentioned before that stepping onto the board at my church has taken over my thoughts in many ways. I’ve felt a bit disconnected from my writing in many ways and while I have not shut down it has been hard to fully engage as I had been doing in the months prior. It feels […]
Continue reading →I began this post a week ago and have been having trouble finishing it, but I have stuck with it because I feel like it’s important – important for me certainly. It’s got a lot of the things that have been bubbling up in my mind these days – things that I need to get […]
Continue reading →There’s two moments from today that I feel like I want to reflect on. The first one I want to relate is the one that happened later in the day. The kids finish swimming lessons around noon so we sometimes will get pizza afterwards. It made sense today because my wife was sleeping off a […]

Continue reading →Well, I don’t have a concrete plan, but I’m going to go for it. I’m going to aim to finish a readable draft of my book by the end of June at the same time that my wife writes her nurse practitioner exam. I told my wife about it and she was very supportive. She […]
