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.

Writing That Aligns with My Calling

  1. Writing Blind

    My inner world is just as important as my outer world. How I live inwardly will bring context and meaning to my daily life.

  2. The Red Door

    Could a simple testimony provide an opening through which others can enter the Kingdom of God?

  3. Sunday Night Faith

    I long for a trouble-free world and assume I'm a bad Christian, or a weak person, if I cannot stand up under the heavy load of daily life. But nothing could be further from the truth. I am guaranteed suffering, we all are, but with us in the suffering, we have a Savior.

  4. The Brute Fact

    I could make no meaning of what had been done to me. It was a brute fact, and it colored everything else.

  5. Strategy as Control

    I cannot earn through strategic thinking what is only a gift of grace. If I ever truly love my daily work, it will be the result of something God does in me.

  6. Ministry and Money Pressure

    By pushing to create an income from something meant to nurture spiritual growth and detachment from worldly concerns, the whole enterprise would be perverted. What was meant to support life would stunt it.

  7. A Sanctuary of Grace and Doubt

    I make everything I have a tool to protect myself because of my over-developed need for safety and security. But only in God can I find any lasting peace and security.

  8. Oatmilk and Ordinary Faithfulness

    I will not wear work as armor, but see it as a means to a larger end.

  9. God in Dangerous Places

    God met me in the dangerous place. I stood up and left that place knowing God loved me.

  10. No Blueprint

    Not a blueprint. Not a map. Faith, and the next step. That will be enough.
