Writing: Ongoing Reflection

These are my attempts to tell the truth about what faith looks like when lived through my particular life. Some are long, some are brief. Some wrestle with doubt, others celebrate glimpses of grace. All are honest reflections on what I've experienced trying to follow God while working in tech, raising a family, and processing a broken and beautiful world.

    Productivity is hard, but the facts are simple. Every one of us has 24 hours available each day. Whether we realize it or not, we allocate those hours to the activities we value most. So perhaps when we say we need more time, we aren't discussing time at all.

  3. Choose Action Over Analysis

    When an idea catches our attention, we ask, "Am I ready to apply this idea if it proves valuable?" If the answer is "No." we move on to other things without regret.

    People are not alike. At least not in the way most of us believe. During the 2020 presidential election, pundits endlessly discussed the Latino vote, Black vote, College-educated White vote, and the Evangelical vote. Too late, it seems, everyone has discovered there is no such thing as a monolithic vote by everyone who looks similar—even when that similarity is profound.

    Programmers and web developers spend most of their time sitting and thinking. How can that be stressful?

    Vulnerability and learning from failure. What startup collapse taught me about resilience and growth.
