In 2019 my friend Mike and I had a pretty rough year with our fireworks stands. We sold them off and didn't get much. Then COVID hit. I had a pile of fireworks and nowhere to use them. I had no idea what was coming next. A reflection on Luke 1:57–66.
I have been blessed to have some times in my life where I have felt extremely close to Christ. Right now is not one of those times. But I'm starting to think that might not be the whole story. A reflection on Luke 1:5–25.
I first came across the image of Divine Mercy in a church in Nebraska. It bothered me — I didn't like it and I didn't understand it. That question stayed with me for a long time. A reflection on John 19:31–37.
Back in college, the morning after a late night with friends I found leftover pizza on the table. Room temperature. Not great, but I ate it. It did the job — just not well. A reflection on Revelation 3:14–21.
The moments I treasure most as a dad are the private ones — just one of my boys and me, no front to put on, just honest conversation. Those are the moments where real growth happens. A reflection on Ezekiel 36:24–27.
It seems like there are a lot of things I hesitate on. It tells me more about myself than I usually want to know. A reflection on Romans 5:6-11.
