About Me

Middle school kids see passing my 5'5 and a half" stature as kind of a right of passage. I love that others can feel big around me... no seriously I think that is why God put me here on earth, to help others believe in themselves the way God believes in them. Go ahead and feel big.

Overnight growth

Last night I went to bed... this morning I woke up and Micah grew some eyebrows, his eyes turned blue, and his face is bigger. Overnight he has become a little man!

Micah performs...


So we have taken Micah out numerous times already in his very short life (1month and 4days). And it seems like every time we bring him out he knows that people are going to be watching him, so he becomes super chill kid. He'll sleep through anything--anything, a volleyball practice where Angela has him strapped on her running around the court, a sunday morning middle school service, a new year's party, a birthday party, etc. Or he'll be wide awake and just look all over the place with big eyes taking everything in not making so much as a whimper. So he does well around people.

I pray that he keeps this up. I'm glad that he enjoys people. I pray that he becomes a person who really learns to love others!

No promises


No promises of consistent blogging here... but I just wanted to share some thoughts.

Being a dad is amazing--to know that I am holding a living breathing miracle. It saddens me that people throw around negative statements about their kids. I hear it all the time working in the middle school ministry at BRCC. I guess at some point they stopped understanding the wonder of what God had given them. 

I know I know, this is where people will say, "You just wait." I pray however that I stay naive and stay overwhelmed through it all. I am grateful for this opportunity that God has given me and Angela.
