Hey dreamers-that-I-love,
You know that idea that’s been rolling around in your head WAY too long? That vision you haven’t been able to shake? That cause that keeps coming back to you? That project that keeps you awake at night?
As you know, I believe in plucking that thing out of your head and getting it out into the real [...]

Have you ever noticed something about Jesus? Despite the world’s flaws…
He didn’t race from house to house, knocking on doors, searching out every sick or hurting person he could find.
He didn’t panickedly confront every social issue or instance of political corruption he could find in the social systems of his day.

Wisconsin is not all cheese, as it turns out. Nor is it all Dells. These are pretty much the only two identity-markers I had for the state when I arrived there Friday (in the living room of college friends Nick and Lauren).
What brought me to town, besides Lauren’s old world cooking straight from her backyard spice [...]
Summer is winding down (feel free to boo and throw tomatoes). This means someone is about to throw a switch that turns my “other life” as a teacher–and a more regular blogger–back on.

If you’re interested in thinking through a Christian response to the Islamic Cultural Center near Ground Zero, you might want to mosey on over there. And check out the other articles while you’re there too! There’s [...]
Welcome to those of you who wandered here after catching me on the radio.
With Ground Zero back in the headlines, quite a few stations have invited me to talk about my experiences leading a disaster relief trip to Ground Zero following the September 11th attacks. These stories, which make up the only widely-published civilian account [...]
Summer has always been a beautiful stretch of my life. It’s the Florida months of Michigan. :)
