Thanks to my work on Way of Love I had the opportunity to pack up the whole family and haul them to NYC with me for five days back in January. While I spent the majority of my days working with the WoL crew, the boys and Sweet Man took Manhattan by storm - mastering the subway, playing saxophones in Harlem, watching a show on Broadway, eating Korean BBQ and so much more. Thankfully I ... View Post
Teaching the Lord’s Prayer
A while ago I was looking for a gift to give at church for children's baptisms or to new parents, when I stumbled upon these jumbo prayer beads, perfect for little hands. Wanting to connect the beads to a practice of prayer, I devised a little method of traveling the beads while praying The Lord's Prayer, connecting each bead to a portion of the prayer, in the hopes that this tactile practice ...

I love coming home on a cold, crisp, dark night and seeing smoke coming out ... View Post
Return of the Mummy Dogs
Once upon a time, back in our city days, when we lived at Casa D'Lovely, our family would host an annual Halloween Hoopla. Over the years it grew into huge party filled with kids and adults in custom, complete with a rowdy game of bobbin' for apples, some sort of epic battle (usually Lord of the Rings/Harry Potter/Star Wars inspired) and some serious trick-or-treating. Also there were Mummy Dogs. ... View Post
